1999 GMC Jimmy Exterior lighting Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the exterior lighting system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Exterior lighting reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE ACTIVATED. THIS GOES FROM A SAFETY FEATURE TO AN UNSAFE FEATURE. WHY SHOULD THESE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND TURN YOUR TURN SIGNAL ON? IT SEEMS TO ME, IT DEFEATS IT'S OWN PURPOSE. IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO ACCEPT, THAT THIS FEATURE WAS APPROVED TO WORK IN THIS WAY.......THANK YOU! *AK

THERE ARE NO SAFETY SECURITY DEVICES TO LET CONSUMER KNOW IF INTERIOR DOORS ARE OPEN. HOWEVER, THERE IS A WARNING LIGHT IF HATCHBACK IS OPENED. SHE SAID THAT THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN, AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW. *AK

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS GO OFF WHENEVER THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS TURNED OFF, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TURN BACK ON. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE TO ONCOMING DRIVERS AND ALSO PEOPLE AHEAD OF YOU IT APPEARS YOU ARE SIGNALLING THEM. THIS IS ESPECIALLY PRONOUNCED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH MANY LANE CHANGES. HERE IN SEATTLE, THIS MAY PROVOKE AN ACT OF ROAD RAGE AS TO THE WRONG PERSON THIS LIGHT FLASHING COULD BE INTERPRETED AS A HOSTILE ACT.
