1993 GMC JIMMY Vehicle Speed Control Problems

FUEL INJECTION WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. ALSO, CONSUMER HAD A PROBLEM STARTING THE VEHICLE. TO OBTAIN SPEED CONSUMER HAD TO COMPLETELY DEPRESS THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. *AK

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. *AK

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?*AK
