What owners wrote
1997 GMC jimmy - steeling failed while driving at low rate of speed as approaching a curve in road. There was no response in the steering and vehicle suddenly veered off road and crashed into trees.
Transmission failure / replaced transmission - upper & lower ball joint failure / replaced upper & lower ball joints - rear window wiper failure / inoperable at this point - extremely expensive replacements with no old parts available at this point. Events leading up to failure I can only attribute to severely poor manufacturing of products, there was no operating misuse or abuse.
