1998 GMC JIMMY Visibility Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 GMC JIMMY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK WHEN ACTIVATED. THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED EXTREMELY LIMITED VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE RAIN SLACKED UP BEFORE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 141,000.

DRIVE AN 1998 GMC JIMMY WITH AROUND 172,000 MILES ON IT (I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF MILES). HAD THE LOCAL GM DEALER WORK ON MY REAR DEFROSTER (ONE OF THE CLIPS FELL OFF). AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALER I TURNED MY DEFROSTER ON ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER. THE BACK WINDOW EXPLODED LIKE A SHOTGUN AFTER ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS. DEALER SAYS REAR DEFROSTER VOLTAGE REGULATOR MUST HAVE WENT BAD. I ARGUED THAT A FUSE SHOULD HAD BLOWN BEFORE AN EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE. GM COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT ALSO DISAGREES, SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE IS OLD AND THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS STANDING BY THE REAR WINDOW WHEN IT EXPLODED BECAUSE IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM. IF I'M WRONG TELL ME I'M WRONG BUT I BELIEVE GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NO ONLY REPLACING THE WINDOW BUT FIXING THE REAR DEFROSTER VOLTAGE REGULATOR. I HOPE THIS IS AN ISOLATED CASE BUT MAYBE BY REPORTING THIS I CAN PREVENT SOMEONE FROM GETTING HURT (INCLUDING A GM TECHNICIAN). *TR

Mileage: 172,000

TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LIGHT FAILURE, ELECTRIC WINDOW CONTROL FAILURE OFF AND ON. *NM

DRIVING IN HEAVY RAINS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY WIPERS JUST STOPPED. I HAD TO BREAK HEAVY AND GET OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAITED UNTIL THE RAIN SUBSIDED AND THEN DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THEY WORKED OKAY AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES STOPPED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN OR HOW LONG THEY WILL WORK. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED ONLY WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD, BUT STILL DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE DELAY RAN AS THOUGH IT WAS ON NORMAL. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS . ALSO, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH. SHE HAS REPLACED THE BULBS, FUSE, AND CHECKED THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. *AK UPDATED 1/4/2006 - *NM

DT:THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE MOTOR FAILED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR PAST THREE MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT HIS OWN EXPENSE, BUT HE FELT VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK

Mileage: 104,000

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. THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY, AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED A YEAR AGO BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN JANUARY 2004 THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, IT STRUCK A PARKED CAR AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS WAS FRONT IMPACT. THE CONSUMER HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VEHICLE. *AK.

Mileage: 100,000

DT: CONTACT STATED WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AND STARTED INTERMITTENTLY ON THEIR OWN. IT HAPPENED DURING A MAJOR RAIN STORM. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY SORT OF WARNING PRIOR TO THIS. WAS HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT.*AK

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS W/MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SINCE LAST YEAR. THEY WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATING AND THEN SOMETIMES NOT TURN OFF AT ALL. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL OCCURING ON THE MODELS W/THE YEAR ENDING IN 1997. SO I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DENIED THAT MY VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL SINCE THE YEAR IS 1YR LATER. NOW I WORK FOR A MAJOR COUNTERTOP KITCHEN APPLIANCE CO. AND I KNOW THAT THERE COULD BE A CUT OFF IN MONTHS NOT JUST YEARS. I AM VERY UPSET TO SEE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL STATES AND THE MANUFACTUER IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DIRECTED ME TO A DEALER THAT WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DIAGNOIS TEST AND THE REPAIR WHICH I AM UNWILLING TO DO. I BELIEVE THAT GMC NEEDS TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE RECALL AGAIN ON THE YEAR 1998 GMC JIMMYS

DT; THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 GMC JIMMY. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE WIPER MODULE MAKES THE WIPERS FREEZE UP AND QUIT WORKING WHEN IT'S RAINING. GMC DID CONDUCT RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM JUST NOT FOR HIS VIN.

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. DEALER WAS AWARE THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE, AND THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK

THE CONSUMER STATES THE WIPERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. A RECALL(GM RECALL # 03023) WAS ISSUED, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE YEAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE REMEDY SCOPE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

NOTED ISSUES WITH MY 98 JIMMY (PURCHASED 12/97)THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR WHICH I BELIEVE WERE DEFECTIVE PARTS: 1) 10/00 MILEAGE=57248 REPLACED FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO DASH BOARD LIGHTS NOT WORKING 2) NOT REPAIRED TO DATE: WIPERS HAVE HAD OCCASIONS THEY DID NOT WORK. I USUALLY CAN GET THEM WORKING BY TURNING THEM ON/OFF A FEW TIMES. INTERMITTENT MODE TAKES A LONG TIME(3-10 SECONDS) TO START RUNNING IN BEST SCENARIO. 3) BOTH FRONT RECLINING SEAT LEVERS BROKE OFF(BRITTLE METAL ROD)WITHIN FIRST 3 YEARS OF USAGE. I HAVE NOT REPLACED DUE TO COST OF REPLACING COMPLETE SEAT ASSEMBLIES IS ONLY FIX. 4) 12/04 MILEAGE=129,518 THROTTLE CHOKE PLATE ASSEMBLY DISINTEGRATED PARTIALLY AND JAMMED THROTTLE OPEN. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS COULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING. AFTER BROKEN PIECE WORKED ITS WAY PAST THE VALVES I NEEDED $1900 IN CYLINDER HEAD REPAIRS. *JB

Mileage: 129,485

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT OPERATE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD IN THE RAIN. WILL BE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. *AK

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS MOOT, BUT I THOUGHT I'D ALERT YOU TO A PROBLEM I HAD IN THE PAST. I HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR MY 1998 GMC JIMMY, VIN = [XXX]. I NOTICED THERE HAD BEEN A WIPER RECALL FOR GMC'S WITH OTHER YEARS, BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR OR MY VIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY WIPERS WERE NOT RECALLED. I ENDED UP GETTING THE WIPER MOTOR REPLACED, BUT THAT COST ME OVER $200.00. MY OLDER BROTHER ALSO DRIVES A 1998 GMC JIMMY AND HE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS I DID I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IRRITATES ME THAT GMC REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY REPLACEMENT. A FEW TIMES MY WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING WHEN THERE WAS AN EXTREME DOWNPOUR. *AK UPDATED 07/24/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES HUNG RANDOMLY DURING A DOWN POUR. THE CONTROL WHEEL ON THE LEFT BLINKER SHAFT DID NOT MOVE THEM. THIS ALMOST KILLED ME WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS ON OTHERS. ANOTHER GMC CONSUMER THAT CAME INTO TO DEALER HAD WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPLACED 3 TIMES, BUT WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS DESIGN. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL QUIT WORKING. THEY WILL QUIT FOR A WHILE THEN START BACK WORKING. *AK

1998 GMC JIMMY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING IN THE RAIN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, THEY STOP WORKING THEN SOMETIMES THEY START UP AGAIN. IT IS SO BAD I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN. IT IS TERRIFYING TO LOSE THEM IN PARKWAY/TURNPIKE DRIVING OF 65 MPH. THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS. WHY WAS THE RECALL STOPPED IN 1997 & THE PROBLEM NEVER CORRECTED?*AK

Mileage: 40,000

I HAVE A 1998 GMC S-15 JIMMY. I'VE HAD A PERIODIC PROBLEM WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T COME ON AT ALL WHEN I NEED THEM; AT OTHER TIMES THEY'RE WORKING AND STOP WORKING WHILE I'M DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN PLACES WAITING FOR THEM TO START WORKING AGAIN. AT OTHER TIMES I'VE HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITHOUT WIPERS UNTIL I COULD FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. I SEE FROM INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT, GM RECALLED 1994-1997 MODELS TO REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BOARD. HOWEVER, THE 1998 MODEL HAS THE SAME PARTS AND THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THEM, NOR WILL GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. I'M HAVING THIS REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, BUT THAT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE MORE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES BEFORE A PERSON HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET IT REPAIRED.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE ENGAGED. IN SOME CASES WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL RESTART WITHIN SECONDS. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED IT REDUCED THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 1998 GMC JIMMY ARE SPORADICALLY NOT WORKING. WHEN THEY ARE TURNED ON THEY WILL WIPE HALF MY WINDSHIELD THEN STOP THEN I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY WIPER BLADES AND TURN THEM BACK ON TO WIPE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF MY WINDSHIELD WHICH IS WHERE THEY WILL STOP AGAIN AND MUST REPEAT THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES TO GET A COMPLETE WIPE. MY WIPERS TOO WILL FAIL TO STOP WIPING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TURNED THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION. IT HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AS TIME AS WORN ON. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT TIMES AND COMPLETELY TURN MY JIMMY OFF TO GET THE BLADES TO STOP. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM, THE BLADES WILL ALSO FAIL TO STOP WHEN I CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD WITH THE WASHER FLUID. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT GM DID A RECALL ON 1994-1997 JIMMYS FOR THIS ISSUE, I HAVE ALSO READ THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 1998 JIMMYS. I BELIEVE THAT GM NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 1998 JIMMYS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I FOUND MYSELF STUCK BETWEEN AN 18 WHEELER AND A CEMENT BUMPER RIGHT AFTER IT HAD RAINED AND MY WIPERS FAILED TO WORK WHICH CAUSED MY VISION TO BE EXTREMELY IMPAIRED AND I WAS TRYING TO GET THE WIPERS TO WORK SO THAT I COULD SEE AND NEAR SLAMMED INTO THE CEMENT BUMPER. WHILE THIS DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IT VERY EASILY COULD HAVE. I AM REQUESTING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUES AS I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER RELATED PROBLEM, AND SINCE THEIR HAS ALSO BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE MODEL YEAR EARLIER. *JB

I'VE CHECKED NHTSA FOR COMPLAINTS AND FIND MANY REPORTS FOR THIS SITUATION. MY MECHANIC CALLED A GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARD. I CONTACTED A GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL EXTENDED ONLY OUT TO 1997 VEHICLES. MY COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO ONE SUBMITTED TO THIS FORUM UNDER ODI ID NUMBER 10016222. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD THAT GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADDRESS AND REMEDY WITHOUT LIMITATION AND REIMBURSE THOSE WHO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES.

1992 CHEVROLET C1500 PICKUP AND 1998 GMC JIMMY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. CAUSE APPEAR TO BE A FAULTY CONNECTOR AT WIPER MOTOR HOUSING. UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY SEAT THE CONNECTOR.

I CHECKED THE CERTIFICATE ON MY DOOR - MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 02/1998. THIS PROBLEM IS CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I WHILE IN THE CAR. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT RAINS DAILY DURING THE SUMMER. I CALLED GMC ON 5/12/03 TO CHECK INTO THE RECALL ON THE 1993-1997 JIMMY'S. I SPOKE TO TWO CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES. THE SECOND ONE, [XXX], NOTED MY CONCERN, BUT STATED "YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL" I REPLIED "WELL, WHO DO I CALL WHEN THIS ISSUE CAUSES A CAR ACCIDENT WITH ME & MY DAUGHTER?" HER RESPONSE WAS "CALL GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE" - SHE WAS VERY RUDE AND DID NOT HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME IT RAINS.

I ALMOST WRECKED AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE OF A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE UNTIL THEY JUST STARTED UP AGAIN. I WAS VERY LATE FOR WORK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO STOP. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME MODEL , MAKE AND YEAR CAR. HER WIPERS HAD BEEN STOPPING ON HER FOR TWO YEARS OFF AND ON. HERS FINALLY JUST QUIT COMPLETELY.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL EITHER THE RAIN STOPS OR THE WIPERS START WORKING AGAIN.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO ACTUATE ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WITH NO DISCERNABLE PATTERN. FREQUENCY OF FAILURE IS INCREASING. WHEN THE WIPERS DO FAIL SOMETIMES THEY WILL ACTIVATE AFTER 15-20 ATTEMPTS TO TURN THEM ON. AT TIMES ONLY STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION SWITHCH AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WILL GET THE WIPERS TO ACTIVATE. TRANSMISSION FBEGAN FAILING WITH OCCASSIONAL BUT NOTICABLE LATE AND HARD SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR . ENGINE LIGHT CODE SCAN INDICATED A FAILURE OF THE VALVE BODY. REPLACEMENT OF THE VALVE BODY FIXED THE PROBLEM , BUT THE ADDTIONAL TORQUE PUT ON THE DRIVETRAIN FROM THE HARD SHIFTS MOST PROBABLY CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE REAR U-JOINT AS WELL.

I WAS INFORMED THE THE DIAGNOSISTIC TEST SHOWED 5 TRANS CODES. AND THAT WIRE TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOOSE AND THEY RECONNECTED THAT WIRE AND ALL CODES WERE NOW CLEAR. THE VERY NEXT DAY MY SUV BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM ON MONDAY 11/12/01. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE CAUSED BE A WIRE LEADING FROM MY IGNITION TO TRANSMISSION. AND THAT I MIGHT NEED AN IGNITION SWITCH. AND THAT TO DO THE WORK IT WOULD COST ME $400 TO $500.
