Body Problems of GMC Jimmy

Driver and passenger door will not stay shut while driving, I almost fall out the passenger door while my boyfriend was driving the car from fett's city motor in omaha nebraska when we bought it the door wouldnt shut we have to lift the doors and slim them shut and lock them and that doesnt even work. My little 15 year old baby brother and his girlfriend was riding with me while driving down [xxx] and the both doors flew open and I didnt have anywhere to pull over to shut the doors my little brother fall out and his girlfriend. I put down $500 on [xxx] and when we bought the car fette's motors knew the driver and passenger doors wasn't shutting the correct way and they still let me buy the car and that is a health hazard and dangerous. Fett's motor shouldnt be allowed to sell cars or at least sell cars that isn't a a dangerous zone or safety hazard. My 15 year old baby brother had to go to the er because he and his girlfriend fall out the passenger door and driver door. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

This happens a lot. I was backing up out of my sister's driveway and when I hit the brakes there was a crunching feeling under my foot along with a weird sound like, "doing" at the end. I could not stop fast enough and ran into her brother in laws hitch on his truck with my right rear corner bumper cover. (if that's what it's called? maybe fascia?) it didn't hurt his truck at all, but it sure busted up that corner piece real good on my Jimmy. It's been scary a few times since! I have had the brakes bled, and new brake pads installed, and it's still doing it! also, the abs light is on most of the time. When it's off is when this problem occurs. So I get a little panicky when that light goes off, although I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be on to begin with? I don't know what else to do about this except to contact someone about it. I read somewhere that this abs issues is from a problem with a sensor something or other gets corroded and has been recalled. Is this true? p. S. I have noticed the abs light goes off when it's rainy, sometimes when it's snowy, and usually when you first get in the vehicle to go somewhere, if that helps.

Front driver side door hinges unsafe design replace them 38 times no kidding. Airbag light has been on not blinking steady on for 5 years. Abs kicks in on dry road when turning sometimes. And yes all new hubs are on it. Other than these things the car is bullet proof and love it.

Ever since I got my Jimmy my driver side door will not stay closed unless I slam it. Now the inside panel is tore off due to the slamming. Everyone I meet after this has the same issue but GMC refuse to recll this problem!!!.
