1998 GMC Jimmy Brakes Problems

“I was driving in mexico last nov 18th 2004 -jan 1st 2005 I was driving on bumpy roads and high usage of brakes on poor roads . Abs failed and when I hit paved roads the brakes came back to like new system, then in july of this year I was driving down dirt road and went around a corner and it was like I had no brakes again I want the ABS removed from all of my cars now it is a bad system . I am a trained driver I have sub contracted to kelly haze as a ABS recorder for new vehicle.”

“Gmc Jimmy 1998 cars reached 34000 miles anti- lock brake light comes on. At low speed sometimes (5-10 MPH) anti-lock comes on and truck take a while to stop. This problem is same as NHTSA campaign id number : 05v379000 GM recall no. 05068 and should also include 1998 Gmc Jimmy also. Spoke to Gmc and was told this car is covered for this recall.”

“Dt: the contact stated ABS brakes were doing the exact same thing as mentioned in recall 05v379000. While driving 10 MPH the ABS kicked in, causing a delay in stopping. She noticed that this happened about one month ago. It was random , but now every time she goes 10 MPH or below and stops the ABS kick in.”

“Dt: the front and rear windshield wipers began to intermittently work. This was over a period of three months and later stopped working all together. Consumer did not take the vehicle to a dealer for any repairs because it was no longer under warranty. The transmission did not shift properly after acceleration for a period of about thirty seconds, and then it shifted into gear. The ABS was delayed when applying brake pressure. The brakes locked, and then the vehicle slid. The brakes pads were replaced every three months, this has been ongoing for the last two years. …”

“This may not be a huge complaint or important. Nonetheless, I own a 1998 Gmc Jimmy. I read the description of what happens with the antilock brake system. That is exactly what is happening with my truck. My question is, how can I get my truck looked at or fixed without any cost to me?”
