Transmission failure / replaced transmission - upper & lower ball joint failure / replaced upper & lower ball joints - rear window wiper failure / inoperable at this point - extremely expensive replacements with no old parts available at this point. Events leading up to failure I can only attribute to severely poor manufacturing of products, there was no operating misuse or abuse. Also other parts that have failed and have since been replaced are the: Alternator, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and cooling system failures.

97 Jimmy. Electrical ignition failure. 5X at least. Driving along and, for no reason, all power cuts out completely. Drift to side of road, stop, and vehicle usually starts again either right away, or in a couple minutes. [xxx] dangerous. 2 different GMC dealers don't have a clue.

This vehicle has been a nightmare...unfortunately it was a spur of the moment purchase. Although used, with only 39,000 miles, I thought I would be ok since it had an extended warranty till 72,000. I have replaced both upper and lower ball joints, idler arm, alternator, belt tensioner, ignition switch, 4WD sensors, gas gauge sensor, left rear axle shaft and both rear axle bearings. At least these were all covered under the warranty, but not the rental cars for all the time the truck spent in the shop. Now the vehicle has 90,000 miles and the dealership is telling me that the recall for the ball joints does not pertain to my truck (the VIN # is not included), the transmission dipstick is rusted (I've seen several complaints but no recall), my accelerator pedal sticks severely (also numerous complaints), and I've already replaced (out of pocket cost of $1700) a complete rear end. I owe more than this vehicle is worth...but will need to get rid of it soon because I do not feel safe driving my son around in it. Many of these problems could have caused a serious accident...

The engine abruptly quits (as if turned off). This has happened while climbing long grades. Altitude has been 7000-10000 feet. Outside temperature has ranged from 65-85 degrees. Each time after pulling off the road and coming to a stop the engine starts after a brief time and continues normally. Dealer has driven the car for extended periods and has been unable to replicate the problem. Three times the engine has quit while in heavy high speed traffic which causes some concern about safety. The problem appears to be computer caused as it is so abrupt - no stutter, stumble or cough.

ABS brakes failed, vehicle lost control, resulting in a head-on collision. Upon impact, driver's/passenger's air bags failed to deploy, resulting in injuries. In addition, ignition locked up/fuel gauge and alternator failed.
