Three problems related to ignition have been reported for the 1998 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1998 GMC Jimmy has a defect where the key get stuck in the ignition and will not come out. I had this problem looked at 18 months ago and the ignition cylinder was replaced. I understand from the dealer that this is a common problem with the floor shifter, if this is a common problem why isn't there a recall. This is dangerous keys left in the ignition can lead to someone taking the car without permission especially a child.
Continous pre-existing vehicle problems and 3-4 or more attempts to correct problem of off and on occurrence of vehicle not cranking up/starting when turning ignition key. I fear vehicle will cut off while driving which can result in a harmful or fatal auto accident.
Last week truck lost all power and I could not get my key out of the ignition,once all power was back key came loose. I have had a problem with muffler since 1st month sounds like a hole in the exhaust and makes a loud ping sound ,dealer just told me I needed to replace muffler. When in reverse and backing out of driveway a loud clunk sound from front passenger side. Have lost power 2 times while driving down the street. Have also noticed that when I turn anything on in the car I am losing a significant amount of power . This includes blinkers,radio,a/c ,if they are all on my volts drop to almost 11.
