| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 |
