NHTSA complaint #10055279, filed 2004-04, 40,000 miles“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!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10448997, filed 2012-02“The front doors do not stay open when on an incline, such as my driveway. You have to make sure it catches before you get out, but then if you don't get out real slow it will close on you. The catch is not deep enough. I have had my leg slammed in it many times. I never knew there was a place to report it until I came across this site looking for child car seat safety reports. My husband has listened to me complain about it ever since we bought the car.”
