I was attempting to back out of my parking space at my work place parking lot and backed on to my spare tire. The spare tire cable broke due to corrosion. Luckily i was not on the highway going 70 mph and someone behind me run into it. I have owned blazers and jimmy's for the last 23 years and have never had this problem. Checking out this website i now know this is a recurring problem. I will tell everyone that i know who own these vehicles about this defect. *tr

I own a 1997 gmc jimmy. The windshield wipers have always only worked when they wanted to. Now, they do not work at all. I have been doing some internet research and found that this is happening to alot of the same models. I see there is a recall for 1996 models. Why not the 1997 models? The exact same thing is happening to my 1997. I never knew or was notified of this. I want this repair fixed at no cost to me. What can i do? *tr

Windshield wipers are now dependably non-functional, especially when they're needed the most (like when it's raining). They are inoperable about 90% of the time, nothing seems able to coax the wiper system back into operation under these conditions, and the vehicle's operator is simple left soaking wet and wholly irritated for his efforts. If the vehicle is in operation when these failures occur, the driver must negotiate traffic like some jedi knight using "the force" before he can even get safely pulled over. And on an interstate highway, that's no small trick! This is a dangerous problem, and general motors' seemingly cavalier attitude about addressing it is unacceptable! They have already acknowledged this exact problem with previous model year vehicles and corrected the problem, and there are numerous complaints against the 1997 models; why won't they issue the same badly-needed recall on these vehicles? Are they waiting for the inevitable traffic fatalities and subsequent class-action lawsuit...? What will get these people to own up to faulty safety equipment on their vehicles and correct it...? If gm thinks examples of this sort of customer service and vehicle reliability is going to make people flock to their dealerships to buy their products, they're in for a very rude awakening...! Big mystery why they're losing money...! *tr

Fuel gauge does not indicate accurately at low fuel states. As fuel approaches empty (with 1/8 - 1/4 actual fuel remaining in tank), gauge begins to erroneously indicate progressively higher fuel quantities in the tank until a point where the gauge is indicating almost full, when in reality, the tank is almost empty. The obvious implication is that a motorist who is not paying close attention could be left stranded without fuel in the vehicle. *tr

The head lights keep shutting off as you are driving at night time then it will switch over to the day time running lights, this occurs every time you drive at nighttime with the lights on, we do not know what to do to fix this problem so we have not brought it in. *tr
