Unintended acceleration: We had a 1995 GMC Jimmy that twice had a "stuck" accelerator, speeding up way beyond the speed limit; once in gillette, wy returning from a trip East, and later that summer at home near la grande, Oregon. I had to literally "stand" on the brake to bring it to a stop both times, then at my husband's direction, put it in neutral and turned off the engine. We were fortunate both times that it didn't cause an accident due to straight roads and little traffic, just scaring us both to death. We reported it to police the 2nd time. GMC dealers in either location said they could find nothing wrong with the car, which we traded in 2004.

The contact owns a 1995 GMC Jimmy. The contact was experiencing issues with the ABS on her vehicle and the brakes failed. The brake fluid was nearly obsolete. She placed more fluid in the vehicle and it appeared to quickly evaporate. She took the vehicle to a mechanic and was informed that the failure was with the ABS. The contact advised her to call the dealer. She took the vehicle to a dealer and they explained the issue. The dealer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id numbers 99I006000 and 99V193000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). Another dealer confirmed that that VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist. The current mileage was approximately 130,000 and failure mileage was approximately 129,700.

Both outside mirrors have fallen off before 90K miles. This was due to the plastic deteriorating at the junction where the mirror "folds away." Replaced egr valve several times. The first three were under warranty, the rest have been on me. In addition, most major fuel system components have been replaced, or repaired. The idle has always been rough, and it will on occasion, smoke and omit strong odors of unburned fuel. Wipers failed at 20K miles. I resoldered the circuit board to correct the problem. Drivers seat will not stay in a locked position, which causes me some concern. By the way, the first week I had the car (bought it new), the seat would not stay locked. Took it to the dealer, and was promptly told that "it is a normal condition." Hmmm, as a design engineer I have to wonder about the logic behind this; as any forward or rearward impact would allow the seat to flex which could make a minor non-injury accident something far worse. The water pump has been replaced three times, alternator twice, battery five. All parts were replaced with original parts through GM. I have had all brake components replaced three times, and still there is a painful chatter of the pedal under certain conditions, which is outside the ABS parameters. Wind noise is quite loud, as the fit of the drivers side door is, for lack of a better word, terrible. The plastic which covers the A/C within the engine compartment has deteriorated to the point where it has broken and fallen away, piece by piece, sometimes lodging itself on the exhaust manifold, causing some rather unpleasant odors. Oh, and since there is no longer any covering over the A/C, it goes without saying that the coldness, which was the saving grace of this vehicle, has been reduced to that of a glorified fan.

1995 GMC Jimmy sls 4 door 4WD vortec 4.3 L V6. We have had this thing for 7 years and nothing I have ever owned has taught me more about being a "shadetree" mechanic! the list is as follows, break booster replaced 2 times. Egr valve replaced 3 times. Front brakes replaced at least 12 times (they fail every 1500 to 1800 miles!) back hatch wont open. Both set of wipers, front and back do not work( safety issue!) engine overheats. Water pump replaced 2 times. Thermostat replaced 3 times. Lights flicker as if the altenator is going bad, (resulting in police asking me to check into this.) battery replaced 4 times (average life of new battery, 4 years!) transmission shifts very hard when engine is cool/ hot! starting to see rust in trans, dipstick. Sometimes cant shift from 2 wd to 4 wd and when able, transfer case makes clicking sound. This is not a phony complaint! I need help with this as I never see a recall, warranty is out and I cant afford to take it in. I don't think I left any thing out, but im sure my wife will let me know. You can give my name to who ever when ever if it will help us fix this situation.

Prior to crash brakes felt spongy and seemed to take too long to stop vehicle. Inspection found nothing wrong, but later brake failed completely allowing vehicle to crash.
