I just bought a used 1996 GMC jimmy SLT and I had too take it too the shop already for serving the Transmission and also the brakes are soft.

I would like to find out more about what I can do if there is any recalls still open and there is how too I find out. Other wise my Jimmy was pretty well taken care of.

Thank you

Do you drive a 1996 GMC JIMMY?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
