I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT THE ENTIRE 1996 GMC- JIMMY SERIES MADE NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE OWNER HAS TO MANY REPAIRS TO BE DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICES ENGINE LIGHT COMES VERY OFTEN TO INDICATE REPAIRS ON THE TRUCK AND THEIR ARE TO BE PROBLEMS WITH THIS 1996 JIMMY. I SUGGEST A TOTAL RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. IT HAS A VERY BAD BRAKING SYSTEM ABS.
