1 Windshield problem of the 1998 GMC Jimmy

Failure Date: 06/30/2004

On my way to work, my windshield wiper keeps failing. It's almost 100% guaranteed to fail during any rain. It also fails when using the windshield washer. This is very dangerous, as I do only highway driving every day. I know that previous years had the recall, yet the 1998 has not been recalled for fix. I realized this was a problem during the first rain after I purchased my vechicle 2 1/2 years ago. I hope gm is willing to fix this problem soon. I am sincerly considering converting to another maker.

2 Windshield problem of the 1998 GMC Jimmy

Failure Date: 11/07/2003

My winshield wiper/washer fails without notice. I took it to my regular repair shop and was referred to the local GMC dealer account recall code #3023 from gm. When the dealer ran the computer check it was found that my specific vehicle was not listee for this recall even if it was on a different data base. Now they want $65 for the relay and $55 to install it. This sounds like bull to me. Once again gm puts out defective parts and when they get caught they want the consumer to pay for it. Ak.

7 Windshield problem of the 1997 GMC Jimmy

When both back windows are down and driving at approximately55-65 mph vehicle will shake and steering wheel will vibrate . There is no solution, but vibration will stop if all the windows are up or if all are down. Also, at only 48,000 miles rust is developing in cooling system possibly due to radiator . Dealer claims rust is normal,and that the cause is due to engine block. But, the engine block is made out of aluminum which does not rust.
