Driver and Passenger door will not stay shut while driving, I almost fall out the passenger door while my boyfriend was driving the car from Fett's city motor in omaha nebraska when we bought it the door wouldnt shut we have to lift the doors and slim them shut and lock them and that doesnt even work. My Little 15 year old baby brother and his girlfriend was riding with me while driving down [XXX] and the both doors flew open and i didnt have anywhere to pull over to shut the doors my little brother fall out and his girlfriend. I put down $500 on [XXX] and when we bought the car Fette's motors knew the Driver and Passenger doors wasn't shutting the correct way and they still let me buy the car and that is a health hazard and dangerous. Fett's Motor shouldnt be allowed to sell cars or at least sell cars that isn't a a dangerous zone or safety hazard. My 15 year old baby brother had to go to the ER because he and his girlfriend fall out the passenger door and driver door.

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR THE 2001 GMC JIMMY, MAINLY RECALL #01073A & B STATING EXT. LIGHTING BRAKE SWITCH/ NO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I'M TOLD THAT THE SERVICE WAS APPARENTLY COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE IN 2002, BUT ANOTHER RECALL CAME OUT IN 2008 STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM CANADA IS REFUSING TO DO THE NECESSARY RECALL ON MY TRUCK STATING THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS OVER A DECADE OLD, SO IT'S MY PROBLEM. I WON'T BE PURCHASING ANOTHER GMC IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING AND ITS THE SWITCH THAT NEEDS REPLACING. THANKS FOR NOTHING GM! YOU JUST LOST A LONG TERM CUSTOMER OVER A RECALL PART. DEC 2001 - RECALL #01V364000 MAY 2008 - RECALL #01V364 / 01073B

MY SON ASKED ME IF I COULD TELL WHAT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND INSIDE THE 2001 GMC JIMMY. WHEN CHECKING FOR TURN SIGNALS,LIGHTS, ETC, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WHAT LEAST WHEN THE CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD, THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. OTHER TIMES THEY WORK. DAVIS STANLEY DEALERSHIP SAID ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN FIXED. IF THE RECALLS WERE FIXED, THE REPLACEMENTS APPARENTLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINALS. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS BEING DRIVEN AROUND IN A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE OF A SAFETY ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT GM ONLY HAD TO WORRY ABOUT REPAIRING ONCE EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN AFTER THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. IS THERE A SITE THAT WILL TELL WHO AND WHEN THE RECALLS WERE FIXED. THANKS *TR

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that the Heater-Vent-Air Conditioning blows warm air. Before calling General Motors Technical Assistance Center technician will need to have high and low pressures, outside temperature, humidity, and vent temperature.

Vehicle Wide Programming (VWP) is a new process to update software on GM Vehicles. It provides the ability via a single selection within Techline Connect to first identify which modules need updating and then proceed to updating affected modules (with some exceptions). The updating of modules is completed in parallel instead of the technician needing to update one module at a time. This allows a more streamlined approach for dealers and customers.
