Three problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 1998 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Abs activates at or below 5mph on dry roads/pavement while attempting to stop vehicle. Occurs often while attempting to stop at stop signs/lights or parking areas posing danger to other vehicles.
: the contact stated the vehicle's right rear brakeline cracked. The contact expressed they would not take the vehicle to a service dealer because the repair work would not be covered under a recall. The contact stated the fractured brakeline was visible.
I haven't gotten into any accidents, but I'm affraid I will. The recall out there right now having to do with the abs and brake system, I feel the same is wrong with my vehicle, but since it's a 1998 with 96000 miles on it, no one will help me out. My vehicle does the exact same description that the recall describes. I unfortunately can not afford to fix it at this time and it's pretty scary having to drive out there knowing that it's possible I might cause an accident. I was pretty disappointed that GMC would not help in solving the issue. Even just to help out in the cost a little bit would be helpful.
