 The stop lamps (switches/relays) failed 3 times so far. this poses a dangerous situation for families since this component fails regularly leaving the occupants without brake lights. the dealership(s) were aware of the problem but noted that gmc does not consider this widespread. i tend to disagree since this has happened regularly for us. i believe there are many 2000 jimmy owners on the road and unaware of non-working brake lights.*ak

 Recall number 08v231000 concerning the multifunction switch in steering column. 2000 gmc jimmy is experiencing same problem as recall and gm says the part was replaced back in 03 per their records but if it actually was replaced, the part that replaced it is failing just as the recall info described and could lead to light failure. my concern is they are replacing defective parts with defective parts and are unwilling to address this concern! *tr
