The front and rear windshield wipers began to intermittently work. This was over a period of three months and later stopped working all together. Consumer did not take the vehicle to a dealer for any repairs because it was no longer under warranty. The transmission did not shift properly after acceleration for a period of about thirty seconds, and then it shifted into gear. The ABS was delayed when applying brake pressure. The brakes locked, and then the vehicle slid. The brakes pads were replaced every three months, this has been ongoing for the last two years.

I was in an accident with my 1998 GMC Jimmy. I T-boned a little Volkswagen going appx. 35 mph. Neither my driver side or my passenger side air bags deployed. I was informed that the air bags should have deployed after 15 mph. I bought the vehicle used in 2002, and I was not informed about any recalls or any thing. I felt that the impact was severe enough to deploy the air bags. Instead I ended up smacking my head on the steering wheel.
