2000 GMC Jimmy complaints

I WAS IN A 2000 GMC JIMMY WAITING FOR A WRECK TO BE CLEARED WHEN A MEDIUM SIZE CAR HIT US FROM BEHIND DOING ABOUT 55 MILES A HOUR. TOTALLY THE JIMMY BEYOND REPAIR. THE AIR BAGS NEVER CAME OUT TO PROTECT US FROM THE IMPACT. THE JIMMY WAS NEVER IN A WRECK PRIOR TO THIS SO THE AIR BAGS HAD NEVER BEEN USED. THEY FAILED.*AK

MY VEHICLE RAN FINE, ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE FUEL PUMP GOES BAD. *AK

VEHICLES SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. *AK THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER EACH INCIDENT. *JB

ROLLOVER- ON A U-TURN TRUCK OVERTURNED! DESTROYED TRUCK- COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE EASILY. PASSENGER SIDE CRUSHED. 46,000 MILES. 4 SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK. THEY ARE HORRIBLE, NEVER AGAIN BUY A GMC. TIRES ARE EQUALLY BAD. *AK

MY 2000 JIMMY HAS OIL LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER HOSES, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. WHERE IS THE RECALL? ALSO, MY GAS GAUGE IS DISPLAYING INACCURATE READINGS. I HEAR THIS IS ALSO COMMON ON GMC JIMMY'S. WHERE IS THAT RECALL? NOW TO GO ALONG WITH MY POWER WINDOW SWITCH NOT WORKING, MOLDING COMING LOOSE, REAR INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING OFF, ETC. ALL THIS WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES.*AK

2000 JIMMY HAS HAD NOISE AND VIBRATION IN FRONT END SINCE IT HAD 4900 MILES ON IT. REPEATED COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER BUT THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, SO NOTHING'S BEEN DONE. SOUNDS LIKE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF, AND VIBRATION IS FELT IN STEERING WHEEL, SEAT AND FLOOR.*AK

PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING FAILED, DRIVERS SIDE HAS FAILED TWICE NOW. CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE FRONT END TO ALIGN EITHER. BEEN TO 3 SHOPS AND IT STILL EATS MY TIRES. GOT A NICE EMAIL BACK FROM GMC SAYS THEY DON'T SHOW ANY CLAIMS THROUGH DTEALERSHIPS, I COULD BARELY AFFORD THE $400 BEARING MUCH LESS HAVE THEM BEND ME 90 DEGREES ON THE LABOR. *JB

WHILE DRIVING STEERING COLUMN STARTED SMOKING . NO FIRE REPORTED. *AK

2000 JIMMY ENVOY IS ONE BIG PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!*AK

WHILE DRIVING HEARD A LOUD HUMMING NOISE FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE. DEALER FOUND FRONT HUB BEARING NEEDED REPLACEMENT. DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ON 2/20/03 (NOTE: I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND VEHICLE HAD 27,000 MILES WHEN PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED). SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED RECENTLY THIS TIME ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE HUB BEARING ON 3/15/04 AND COST WAS SPLIT 50/50 WITH GM AND MYSELF (NOTE:46,000 MILES ON VEHICLE). FURTHERMORE THIS PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED OR ANY OTHER NON-JIMMY OWNERS THAT I KNOW OF. FROM REVIEWING YOUR COMPLAINTS AND TALKING TO OTHER JIMMY OWNERS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND A KNOWN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM. *AK

SOMETIMES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES I HEARD A NOISE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. IN ADDITION, REAR ROTORS WERE SO CORODED THAT THEY WHERE NOT RESURFACABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL CHARGE $1000. WHY WOULD REAR ROTORS CORODE SO SEVERELY AFTER ONLY 46,900 MILES AND 3.25 YEARS OF DRIVING?*AK

ON JANUARY 5, 2004 I TRIED TO STOP MY 2000 GMC JIMMY (SUV), INSTEAD OF STOPPING, THE JIMMY PICKED UP SPEED AND RESULTED IN A THREE CAR CRASH. TWO OF THE CARS (MY JIMMY AND A 1995 MERCURY) WERE TOTALED AND THE OTHER CAR (A HONDA RUNNER SUV)HAD DAMAGE TOTALING $11,000. ALTHOUGHT I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, WHEN MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT (THE ROASRUNNER), NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY JIMMY WERE DEPLYED. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT IN THIS ACCIDENT. THE MECHANICS AT HENDERSON CHEVY IN LAS VEGAS INFORMED ME THAT THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED MISERABLY. AS FOR THE AIRBAGS, THEY DID NOT HAVE A CLUE. I CONTACTED GMC AND FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THEIR INVESTIGATORS CAME TO THE DEALER AND AUTHORIZED SOME WORK ON THE JIMMY SO AS TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND THE REASONS FOR THE CRASH. AS OF THIS WRITING, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS FROM GMC. I HAVE TRIED, REPEATEDLY, TO CONTACT GMC BUT NO ONE WOULD RETURN MY CALLS. I ALSO DEMANDED THAT THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATION BE SENT TO ME IN WRITING. THIS REQUEST WAS, ALSO, IGNORED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING TURN SIGNAL, BRAKE LIGHTS AND FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. DEALER CHANGED THREE TIMES THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLING LINES AT 22,118 MILES AT THE COST OF $292.29 ON MY 2000 GMC JIMMY. I HAVE CHECKED THE WEB SITE FOR OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THERE ARE SEVERAL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY GMC.*AK

MY 2000 JIMMY HAS LEAKS ASSOXIATED WITH THE OIL LINES. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. WHERE IS THE RECALL? I JUST SPENT OVER $400 TO REPAIR...GM SHOULD PICK UP THIS COST.

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AT SPEEDS BELOW 20 MPH, ABS BRAKES OPERATE POORLY. IF THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT IS ON THE PROBLEM DOESN'T OCCUR. DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *AK

MY 2000 GMC JIMMY HAS DEFECTIVE SEAT RECLINERS, THE COST OF THIS TO REPAIR IS EXACTLY $350, I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE CASE, I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT OWN THESE VEHICLES INCLUDING THE CHEVY BLAZER AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN THEY BREAK, MY FATHER HAS BEEN IN THE INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRY AND HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY USED CHEAP METAL IN MAKING THESE, WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS WHAT CAN I DO, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND ALL THE GREAT WARRANTIES THAT THEY SELL AND NOW MY GREAT WARRANTIES ARE WORTHLESS, PLEASE HELP DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP, ALSO AM I ENTITLED TO GETTING MONEY BACK FOR WORTHLESS WARRANTIE THAT THEY SOLD ME.*AK

I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I AM THE THIRD PERSON I KNOW OF WITH GMC JIMMY 99 OR NEWER WHO HAD TO HAVE UPPER BALL JOINTS, TIEROD(S) AND THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED WHEN VEHICLE WAS AT OR JUST OVER 3 YRS OLD. THE FACT THAT 2 OF THE 3 HAD THE PROBLEMS PAID FOR BY GMC DEALER, EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, MAKES ME THINK GM KNEW THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING & CHOSE TO ADDRESS IT ON AN "AS NEEDED BASIS, INSTEAD OF A RECALL. MY COSTS WERE SAID TO BE A "GM CUSTOMER LOYALTY ADJUSTMENT". I AM CONFUSED THAT MY DEALER AT FIRST SAID I WAS TO PAY FOR PARTS ONLY, NO LABOR. THEN CHANGED IT TO LABOR ONLY, NOT PARTS. I NOTICED AFTERWARD THAT MY INVOICE FOR THE WORK SHOWS WORDING THAT LIFETIME WARRANTY APPLIES TO ONLY CUSTOMER PAID PARTS. DOES THAT MEAN SINCE I DID NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS, THERE IS NO WARRANTY? I APPRECIATE NOT HAVING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT SOMETHING DEFINITELY SMELLS FISHY.

THE 13 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER WAS BUCKLED. THE IMPACT HAPPEND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT (SO OPPOSITE OF THE CHILD). SOME HOW HE WAS SUSPENED BY THE SEATBELT IN THE BACK OF MY TRUNK. HE BENT THE HEAD REST IN HALF, AND THE SEAT WAS STILL IN PLACE. HE STILL WAS BUCKLED AND SOME HOW HE ENDED UP IN THE TRUNK. HE IS ALIVE AND HAS A FEW BRUISES AND SEATBELT BURNS AROUND HIS STOMACH AREA, BUT IT IS A MIRACLE HIS BACK AND NECK ARE OKAY.

MY TRUCK LOST POWER AND STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON THE AFTERNOON OF 9-19-03. IT WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED TO THE DEALER. UPON INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT IT RAN FINE. I WAS NOT CONVINCED. ON 9-22-03 IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRUCK NEEDED A NEW CATALITIC CONVERTER AND WAS DRIVEN IN. I PICKED IT UP THREE DAYS LATER. THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRUCK'S COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. HOWEVER THE MAIN COMPUTER WAS DOWN AND AS SUCH WERE NOT ABLE TO SERVICE IT AT THAT TIME. I WAS ASKED TO RETURN FOR REPROGRAMMING. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON ON THE EVENING OF THE 30TH. I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BRING IT IN TO THE SHOP UNTIL THIS WEEK AND IN THE MEANWHILE I WAS NOT DRIVING IT ALL THAT MUCH. THIS PAST WEEK END THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON ON SATURDAY. SUNDAY NIGHT (10-5-03) WHILE DRIVING HOME THE TRUCK LOST POWER AGAIN (MUCH LIKE BACK ON 9-19-03)AND STOPPED RUNNING WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT JUST MADE A RATTLING NOISE AND THEN I HEARD A POP. ABOUT THREE-FIVE MINUTES AFTER MY ATTEMPT TO TURN IT ON I SMELLED AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT HOOD. I MANAGED TO GET MY DOG AND MYSELF OUT. IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES THAT WE GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK IT WAS UP IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND CAME TO TAKE OUT THE FIRE. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME MY TRUCK WAS DESTROYED.

I HAVE A 2000 GMC JIMMY WITH 49500 MILES. MY GAS GAUGE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION, AND WAS DISPLAYING INACCURATE READINGS. I WAS QUITE CONCERNED SINCE THIS WAS A FUEL RELATED PROBLEM. IT TURNS OUT AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT GM PART NUMBER 25314231 HAD FAILED. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE GM DEALER, THIS COMPONENT IS SUBMERGED IN THE GAS TANK OF THE VEHICLE. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU FOR INVESTIGATION AS A POSSIBLE SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. *NLM

2000 GMC JIMMY - SEAT BACK RECLINER HANDLE FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE. *NLM

OIL COOLING HOSES WENT OUT AROUND 43,000 HAD TO REPLACE AND EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDNT COVER. HEARD ALOT OF PEOPLE SAYING THIS HAS ALSO HAPPEND TO THEM AND THINK GMC NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS MUCH (MORE THAN ~5 DEGREES F) BELOW FREEZING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THAT THEY TEND TO KEEP A CURVED SHAPE FROM RESETTING AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN NOT IN USE AND DO NOT CLEAR THE AREA DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. THIS EFFECT WORSENS AS THE TEMPERATURE FALLS. A NEW SET OF WIPER BLADES (WINTER BLADES, MADE FOR LOW TEMPERATURE) FAILED TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. THE MOST SEVERE HAPPENED ON MARCH 4, 2003 THE PRECEDING CAR SPRAYED A SALT/WATER MIXTURE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAD TO BE REMOVED BY HAND AFTER STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO ZERO VISIBILITY. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVY BLAZER, AND A 2000 GMC JIMMY, WHICH ARE BOTH BASICALLY THE SAME VEHICLES. THE 99 BLAZER DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL LINES AT 33,000 MILES, AND THE 2000 NOW HAS THE SAME OIL LINES LEAKING AT 41,000 MILES. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND ENGINES HAVE BEEN RUINED DUE TO THE OIL LINES. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD OFFER TO REPLACE THE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE OIL LINES.

I PURCHASED A 2000 GMC JIMMY WITH 34000 MILES ON IT AND AT 38000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE SUN SHELL GRANADED AS THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT GMC DEALERSHIP PUT IT. NOW WITH 83000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION DID THE SAME THING. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUN SHELLS? IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ALL OF MY MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES AND I HAVE ALL MY MAINTANENCE RECORDS TO PROVE THAT I DO SCHEDULED MAINTANENCE ON MY VEHICLE. I ALSO DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLE AND DO NOT TOW ANYTHING. I'LL GO BROKE IF THE VEHICLE REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION EVERY 40000 MILES. EACH TIME IT COST APPROX. $4,000.00 TO FIX. CAN ANYONE HELP? THANK YOU

OIL COOLER HOSES LEAK. KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. FAILURE RESULTS IN FULL OIL CAPACITY ON ROAD, AND PROBABLE ENGINE REPLACEMENT
