1999 GMC Jimmy

STARTING FROM JANUARY 13, 2007 ,EVERYTIME I TURN THE IGNITION OFF THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE HAD TO JIGGLE THE KEY, AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING/HAD THIS PROBLEM. MANY WAYS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WERE POSTED. FINALLY I FOUND ONE THAT WORKS FOR MY TRUCK. AT LEAST FOR NOW IT DOES. I HAD TO REMOVE A PLASTIC CAP UNDER THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN, AND INSERT AN INK PEN PUSHING AGAINST SOMETHING TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REMOVE THEIR KEY SO THEY CAN GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE, IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

MY 1999 GMC JIMMY HAS BEEN GIVEN US PROBLEMS SHUTTING THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS DOORS. IT LEAKED IN THE CAR WASH OR WHEN RAINING AS THE DOORS DID NOT PROPERLY CLOSE, AND NOW THEY DIDN'T CLOSE AT ALL. I MUST SPEND $300 , NOT IN MY BUDGET SO WILL GET BEHIND WITH BILLS, TO HAVE THE PINS AND HINGES REPLACED AS THEY WERE MADE WITH NYLON , BUT THE REPLACEMENTWAS MADE OF BRASS. I HAD TO PAY ALREADY TO HAVE THE DOOR FIXED TO CLOSE. I TELL MY SON TO FASTEN HIS SEATBELT AND STAY AWAY FROM THE DOOR AS EVEN IF IT LOCKED. I WAS AFRAID IT MIGHT OPEN.*AK

I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE CAR WASH. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PADAL TO PUT THE TRUCK IN GEAR, A SECOND LATER THE PADAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THOUGHT IT WAS AIR IN THE LINE. TRIED A FEW MORE TIMES THEN GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO LOOK FOR THE LEAK, FOUND (STEEL LINE) DRIVERS SIDE RUSTED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO SHOP, AS I COULD NOT DRIVE IT. THEY FOUND HEAVY RUST ON ALL BRAKE LINES IN THE FRONT, THE CONTROL ARMS ALSO HAVE HEAVY RUST. THANK GOD I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC AS I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. THE SHOP IS REPLACING ALL FRONT BRAKE LINES AND ARE GOING TO INSPECT ALL OTHER LINES IE: ALL BRAKE LINES TO BACK, ALL FUEL LINES. PARKING BRAKE FAILED AS WELL. HOW DID THIS TRUCK PASS NYS INSPECTION? TRUCK WAS PURCHASED 3/30/2006 FROM DEALER FACILITY #7096646 A&A USED CAR SALES INC. 969 SUNRISE HWY,BRIGHTWATERS,NY 11706 NYS INSPECTED BY STATION 7099758

IT HAPPENED IN SONORA, MEXICO AT 7:00PM THE BACK PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED. MY HUSBAND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TWO LANES GOING WITH VEHICLES DRIVING AT 60 TO 70 MPH AND THERE WAS NO WAY PULLING TO THE SIDE WE WERE HANGING ALMOST FELL IN A HOLE THE VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY IN THE LANE AND HALF HANGING . THESE TIRES COULD OF CAUSED A DEATH AND OR A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE TIRE'S BRAND ARE WILD COUNTRY. *NM

MY 1999 GMC JIMMY SUV JUST STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS IS POSING A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT LENGTHENS THE TIME IT TAKES FOR US TO STOP. THERE WAS AN INITIAL RECALL FROM GM ON THIS HOWEVER IT IS FOR EVERY MAKE AND MODEL SUV EXCEPT JIMMY. I WONDER IF IT IS BECAUSE THE JIMMY IS THE MOST POPULAR MODEL AND GM WANTS TO SAVE MONEY? I WANT SAFETY. THIS IS MY WIFE'S TRUCK AND SHE DRIVES MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 6 YEAR OLD IN THIS SUV WHICH HAS DIFFICULTY STOPPING DUE TO THE ABS PROBLEM. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE 1999 JIMMY IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? *NM
