Two problems related to turn signal switch have been reported for the 1997 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own this 1997 GMC Jimmy that I purchased from my mother in December 2004. I had a problem with the signal lights, they just quit working. I took it to the local gm dealer and at that time no recall had been issued for this reason. I will need to replace the switch and assembly. I know that there is a recall for GMC and Chevrolet minivans for this same reason. It is my feeling that the 1997 Jimmy should also be included in the recall or a separate recall should be made for the models using the same assembly as the 1997 Jimmy.
Without warning multi-function switch has been replaced 3 times. Vehicle was unable to use communication components.
