Second failure of brake vacuum booster on 1996 GMC Jimmy 4WD - actual milage 38,910. The brakes on this vehicle have never worked properly since new. I have had it to the dealership numerous times - no better."a rolling non-braking nightmare to drive !! second alternator, 4th battery, rust in automatic transmission, driver's power-window motor @ 30,000 miles his vehicle never been used "off-road. It is driven by an older woman to and from work, shopping, & pleasure.
Failure of brake booster make vehicle difficult to stop was concerned until I was able to get the car to the dealer for repairs. Dealer said he has seen alot of these vehicles come in with this failure.
This is the second Jimmy I drive (too loyal for my own good.) the first one a 1995. Also had a booster failure at around 40,000+ miles (luckily I was able to coast on that occasion to a full stop without causing any damage to anyone. This one a 1996 has failed, like clockwork, at 45,000 miles.
