Driver and Passenger door will not stay shut while driving, I almost fall out the passenger door while my boyfriend was driving the car from Fett's city motor in omaha nebraska when we bought it the door wouldnt shut we have to lift the doors and slim them shut and lock them and that doesnt even work. My Little 15 year old baby brother and his girlfriend was riding with me while driving down [XXX] and the both doors flew open and i didnt have anywhere to pull over to shut the doors my little brother fall out and his girlfriend. I put down $500 on [XXX] and when we bought the car Fette's motors knew the Driver and Passenger doors wasn't shutting the correct way and they still let me buy the car and that is a health hazard and dangerous. Fett's Motor shouldnt be allowed to sell cars or at least sell cars that isn't a a dangerous zone or safety hazard. My 15 year old baby brother had to go to the ER because he and his girlfriend fall out the passenger door and driver door. INFORMATION R

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR THE 2001 GMC JIMMY, MAINLY RECALL #01073A & B STATING EXT. LIGHTING BRAKE SWITCH/ NO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I'M TOLD THAT THE SERVICE WAS APPARENTLY COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE IN 2002, BUT ANOTHER RECALL CAME OUT IN 2008 STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM CANADA IS REFUSING TO DO THE NECESSARY RECALL ON MY TRUCK STATING THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS OVER A DECADE OLD, SO IT'S MY PROBLEM. I WON'T BE PURCHASING ANOTHER GMC IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING AND ITS THE SWITCH THAT NEEDS REPLACING. THANKS FOR NOTHING GM! YOU JUST LOST A LONG TERM CUSTOMER OVER A RECALL PART. DEC 2001 - RECALL #01V364000 MAY 2008 - RECALL #01V364 / 01073B

MY SON ASKED ME IF I COULD TELL WHAT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND INSIDE THE 2001 GMC JIMMY. WHEN CHECKING FOR TURN SIGNALS,LIGHTS, ETC, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WHAT LEAST WHEN THE CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD, THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. OTHER TIMES THEY WORK. DAVIS STANLEY DEALERSHIP SAID ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN FIXED. IF THE RECALLS WERE FIXED, THE REPLACEMENTS APPARENTLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINALS. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS BEING DRIVEN AROUND IN A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE OF A SAFETY ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT GM ONLY HAD TO WORRY ABOUT REPAIRING ONCE EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN AFTER THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. IS THERE A SITE THAT WILL TELL WHO AND WHEN THE RECALLS WERE FIXED. THANKS *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, I PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING TO START ON FIRE, AND FOUND THE BOTTOM BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING BUT THE TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. AFTER GETTING HOME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY GMC VIN# HAD BEEN INCLUDED IN A RECALL. BUT WHAT WAS REPLACED AND WHEN IT WAS REPLACED I DO NOT KNOW. IT ONLY STATED THAT MY VIN # WAS INCLUDED, AND THAT NO OTHER RECALLS WERE IN AFFECT AT THIS TIME. SO ACCORDING TO GMC WEB SITE THERE WERE 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND 3 DIFFERENT PARTS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. 1- THE BRAKE SWITCH, 2- THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND 3- THE FLASHER SWITCH, AND TO DETERMINE WHICH PART IS THE FAULTY ONE YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC THEN PAY HIM IN THIS INSTANCE BETWEEN 300.00 TO 400.00 (WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE YET DO TO I CAN NOT AFFORD IT) FOR THE NEW PART AND HIS TIME TO REPLACE IT. SO HOW CAN A CAR MANUFACTURER ONLY HAVE TO BE

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ABS BRAKE SENSOR NOT WORKING. FROM ONLINE SEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 GMC JIMMY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR THE PAST YEAR THAT THE ABS LIGHTS ON THE DASH WILL COME SOMETIMES BUT AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL BE OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SENSOR IS BAD AND IT WOULD COST OVER $700.00 TO FIX. SINCE THIS IS A BIG ISSUE I WISH YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND HAVE GM ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
