| Tl*the contact owns a 2001 gmc jimmy. the contact noticed that the on-board diagnostic system warning indicator would consistently illuminate on the instrument panel. the vehicle frequently misfired, which caused it to be inoperable. the dealer stated that he needed to replace the scpi fuel injector and the mass air flow sensors at the cost of $1,150. he is in the process of having the vehicle repaired. he called the manufacturer in reference to a voluntary recall for the state of california for 1996 to 2001 suv's, but was not provided any assistance because the recall was not applicable for his state. the current and failure mileages were 72,000. | |||
