I just bought a used 1996 GMC jimmy SLT and I had too take it too the shop already for serving the Transmission and also the brakes are soft.
I would like to find out more about what I can do if there is any recalls still open and there is how too I find out. Other wise my Jimmy was pretty well taken care of.
Thank you
