1998 GMC JIMMY Complaints

WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WITHOUT WARNING WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO CONSUMER'S VIEW DURING RAINY WEATHER. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY WHENEVER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE USED THEY WOULD STOP WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT A BAD CIRCUIT BROAD AND FAULTY SOLDERING WERE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 1997 VEHICLES BUT NOT THE 1998. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK *NLM

PASSENGER SEAT HANDLE BROKE ON MY 1998 GMC JIMMY. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON GMC JIMMY/CHEVORLET BLAZERS. SEAT HANDLES SHOULD NOT BREAK; A RECALL IS IN ORDER. THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES; IF THE SEAT FALLS IT CAN EFFECT THE DRIVER AND/OR CRUSH REAR PASSENGERS.
