Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1) engine- vehicle would not decelerate from hwy speed, even though operator was not touching the gas pedal. I had to put in neutral,then shut off engine to stop vehicle. This was after I was forced to go through a red traffic light. 2) brakes- in the same situation, the brakes suffered a complete failure, with no power-assist, forcing the vehicle through a red traffic light.”
NHTSA complaint #745131, filed 2001-05“My 93 Jimmy exhibits behavior as identified in NHTSA campaign id # 94v093 and 99v193. For 94v093, the vehicle lunges forward when started and a transmission specialist identified the problem (checked at 70k miles) as a worn low and reverse clutch. For 99v193, my ABS seems to work only when in 4wd. I contacted Gmc and was told my vehicle was not included in the campaign. I don't understand why my vehicle has the same problems but the VIN was not included in the campaign?”
