2001 GMC Jimmy complaints

THIS VEHICLE AT 11,000 MILES ONE YEAR AGO WENT FOR STATE INSPECTION AND THE ROTORS WERE SO RUSTED THAT THEY COULD NOT BE REFACED SO THEY WERE REPLACED UNDER THE GENERAL VEHICLE 3 YR 30,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEN TODAY AT 27140 MILES DURING STATE INSPECTION THE ROTORS WERE ONCE AGAIN RUSTED SO BADLY THAT THEY REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. FAILURE OF THESE ITEMS COULD CAUSE FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM. EXPLANATION FROM DEALER WITHOUT ANY TESTING WAS THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE ROAD SALT. NONE OF MY OTHER GM VEHICLES ( 1991 JIMMY WITH 169,000 MILES,AND A 1996 GRAND AM WITH 159,000 MILES) EXHIBIT THIS SYMPTOM EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE USED ON THE ON THE SAME ROADS. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SPECIFICATION FOR THE METAL IN THESE ROTORS. THIS IMPROPER SPECIFICATION MAY LEAD TO POSSIBLE CRACKING OF THESE ROTORS. I AM REQUESTING THE OLD PARTS FROM THE REPAIR SHOP SO THAT GM MAY INSPECT THEM. BEING A QUALITY ENGINEER I KNOW THAT GM WILL WANT THESE BACK TO PERFORM METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS ON THE ROTORS AND FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE RUST. *NM

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH 2001 GMC JIMMY. BATTERY - WAS LEAKING & RUNNING DOWN ENGINE COMPARTMENT - (UNDER WARRANTY) DEALER WAS GOING TO REPLACE BATTERY & FIX WHERE ACID HAD EAT UP PAN, UNDER COATING,WIRES, ETC. DEALER DID NOT DO ANY OF THIS - ALL THEY DID WAS SUPER GLUE BAD BATTERY CONNECTOR BACK TO BATTERY. I WENT BACK TO DEALER TO COMPLAIN & WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EVEN LOOK TO VERIFY THAT NOTHING WAS DONE. WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 DAYS LATER. GO FIGURE! BRAKES - HAVE GONE THRU 2 SETS OF PADS ALL AROUND - HAD TO REPLACE 2 ROTORS SO FAR- AS THEY WERE EAT UP COMPLETELY - NOTHING LEFT ON ONE SIDE. MAKES CONSTANT GRINDING NOISE LIKE BRAKES ARE BEING RIDDEN. LIGHTS - HAD TO HAVE EMERGENCY SWITCH REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.( HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS) TRANSMISSION - ALWAYS REVVING UP OR DROPPING DOWN. FRONT END - POPPING CRACKING NOISES. INTERIOR LIGHTS - DIM & LIGHT ALWAYS ON EVERYTHING. ASK 1ST DEALER FOR A PRINT OUT OF SERVICE ON VEHICLE- WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE TO IT EVER. ASK 2ND DEALER FOR PRINT OUT - FOUND THAT VEHICLE HAD BEEN TOWED IN 3 TIMES FOR PROBLEMS ( I BOUGHT IT WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT) THEY HAD REPLACED A FEW THINGS SEVERAL TIMES (FORGIVE ME I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFO HANDY AT PRESENT) ALSO, SOMETIMES IE FEELS LIKE ACCELERATOR STICKS. I USUALLY DRIVE CHEVY - THIS WAS MY 1ST & LAST GMC (I KNOW THAT THEY ARE THE SAME BASICALLY) I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR & I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET MY OLD CHEVY RUNNING AGAIN SO I CAN GET RID OF THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!! PLEASE H

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMTY AND FULL WHILE IN PARK OR NEUTRAL,CAN'T DEPEND ON FUEL GAGE FOR TURE INFORMATION.*AK

WAS TOLD BY STATE FARM THIS WAS A DESIGN DEFECT. THE OIL LINES LEAK FROM THE ENGINE DOWN TO THE FILTER THAT IS ON THE FRONT BUMPER INSTEAD OF ON THE ENGINE. *JB

SEVERE VIBRATION ABOVE 20MPH. CAUSE WAS PREMATURE FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARINGS AT 54,000 MILES. REPLACED WHEEL HUBS AT OWNER EXPENSE FOR $1100.*AK

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE DOME LIGHTS, THEY WILL TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THEM OFF IS PUSH THE DOME OVERRIDE BUTTON. ALARM SYSTEM HAS ALSO GONE OFF BY ITSELF WITH NO ONE NEAR THE VEHICLE OR TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER AND THE TWO MULTIPURPOSE PLUGS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. INTERMITTENT WIPERS SOMETIMES WORK AND OTHER TIMES MAY STOP WHILE IN USE. IT APPEARS THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE IN THE SYTEM CAUSING THESE ISSUES.*AK

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES IN 8 WEEKS (ALL WITH IN 2 MONTHS). I WAS TOLD BY DEALER SECONDARY AIR PUMP WAS BAD. PART WAS REPLACED A NUMBER OF TIMES. I CALLED GM'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THEY OFFERED NO HELP OTHER THAN TO CALL A GMC DEALER AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK. *AK

I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE AND GIVEN A TICKET FOR NO BRAKES LIGHTS. I KNEW THAT I HAD CHECKED MY BRAKE LIGHTS PERIODICALLY AND THEY HAD WORKED. TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECK OUT AND FOUND THAT THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THAT HE REPLACED SEVERAL OF THESE. I CALLED GMC AND SPOKE WITH A GENTLEMAN AND TOLD HIM THAT I JUST PAID $394 FOR THIS PART AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS RECALLED AND TO SEND MY RECEIPTS AND I COULD GET REIMBURSED. NOW I GOT A DENIAL LETTER STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME MY REFUND AND I AM VERY UPSET. $400 IS A WHOLE PAYCHECK TO ME. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR UP HILL RPM DROPPED, AND LOSS OF POWER, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. REPLACED DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR BUTTON, HELPED FOR ONE DAY THEN HAPPENED AGAIN.*AK

THE REAR HATCH GLASS WILL NOT OPEN BY ANY MEANS, EXCEPT BY USING THE EMERGENCY HATCH TECHNIQUE LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *LA

I OWN A 2001 GMC JIMMY 2 DOOR, 2WD WITH 34,000 MILES. I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED THE IDLER ARM AND TIE ROD AND 4 BRAND NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE IDLER ARM WAS SHOT. THERE ARE ONLY 34,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, LESS THAN THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. GM WOULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE WAS MORE THAN 3 YEARS OLD. THE AUTO TECHNICIAN AT THE TIRE STORE WAS AMAZED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD SUCH A BAD PROBLEM WITH TIRE WEAR AND THE IDLER ARM MECHANISM THIS EARLY. THIS COST ME $550 TO FIX. *JB

LOST 2ND GEAR AND REVERSE. FEELS LIKE A BROKEN GEAR. 56K MILES, SO FAR GM IS RESISTANT TO DOING ANYTHING. I HAVE OWNED MANY GMS, THIS IS PROBABLY THE LAST.*AK

CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ROLL TEST, AND THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 54,722 MILES ON IT. *LA *JB

I PURCHASED A USED 2001 GMC JIMMY FROM PERFORMANCE (LEMON DEALER) PONTIAC IN SYRACUSE N.Y.. THE VEHICLE HAD 36,000 MILES ON IT AND 7 MONTHS LATER (PURCHASED 6/03) THE ENGINE IS SHOT.

2 BALL JOINTS COST $122.40 2 HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY $904.00 FRONT END ALIGNMENT $49.95 LABOR $246.00 TAX $70.84 TOTAL1401.69 MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED ALL BUT $50.00 THE WARRANTY COST ME $1600.00. WORK DONE BY STENGEL BROS.INC.WHITEHALL PA.18052. THE VEHICLE WAS BEGINNING TO PULL TO THE RIGHT WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT .THOUGHT THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. AFTER A WEEK OR SO I BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES, AND WENT TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED WHEN I WAS TOLD OF THE PROBLEM. THE STENGEL BROS. ARE WELL KNOWN FOR OUTSTANDING WORK!THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE WATER GOT IN THE HUBS OR BEARINGS. NEVER USED MY JIMMY OFF ROAD. AND HELD MAINTENANCE EVERY 4 TO 5000 MI. AT MOST. ALSO HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT JUMPING IN TO 4X4 LOW. HAD IT REPAIRED 4 TIMES. ALONG WITH OTHER MINOR PROBLEMS. AS OF 5/14/03 I SOLD IT BACK TO THE DEALER ,AND LOST $5000.00 ON THE DEAL BECAUSE OF A SO CALLED SMART BUY. WHICH WOULD OF BEEN OK. BUT BECAUSE OF MILEAGE [51000] I WAS OVER FROM 36000[15000] MILES X 20CENTS A MILE, AND $2000.00 BECAUSE I TURNED IT IN EARLY .JUST FELT I COULD NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. WALKED 5 MI. IN DARK ONE NIGHT AND WAS TOWED IN 3 TIMES. I LIKED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT COST ME $5000.00 TO GET RID OF IT WHICH I CAN'T EXPRESS IN WORDS HOW UN HAPPY THAT MAKES ME!! I WORK HARD FOR A LIVING ,5K DON'T COME EASY.

THE DASH LIGHTS WERE ON AS IF CAR WAS NOT RUNNING BUT CAR WAS RUNNING. ALL GAUGES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT. THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION DURING ONE OF THESE INSTANCES. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH.*AK

MY VEHICLE HAS TWO PROBLEMS THAT I AM AWARE OF. THERE'S HEAT COMING FROM THE FLOOR HEATER WHILE THE HEATER IS OFF, AND IT BURNS MY FEET. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I ACTIVATE MY LEFT/RIGHT BLINKER MY DAY LIGHTS GO OUT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING MY DAY LIGHTS ARE NOT ACTIVATED. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH MY BLINKERS TO MAKE THEN COME ON. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE REFUSES TO FIX EITHER PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS DESIGNED THIS WAY. *LA

I PURCHASED OUR 2001 JIMMY ON 2/05/01 (NEW). WE EXPERIENCED THE FIRST OF 7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES ON 10/12/01. ON 10/12/01 THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. ON EACH OF THE THREE FOLLOWING DATES; 7/26/02, 6/18/03 AND 7/02/03 THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AFTER THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START OR STOPPED RUNNING DURING OPERATION. IT WAS TOWED TO A GMC DEALER ON EACH OF THOSE OCCASIONS. ON 8/08/03 THE VEHICLE AGAIN WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS THE BATTERY. ON 8/23/03 THE FUSE BLOCK WAS REPLACED AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING DURING OPERATION. AGAIN TOWED TO A DEALER. AGAIN ON 10/10/03 THE FUSE BLOCK WAS REPLACED AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING DURING OPERATION. AGAIN TOWED TO A DEALER. *LA

I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL HAVE MORE DEFECTS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU.*AK

FRONT TIRES DEVELOPED SERIOUS WEAR PATTERNS (CUPPING). ORIGINAL FACTORY WHEEL BALANCING PLACED 3 OUNCES OF WEIGHT ON FRONT RIGHT AND 2.75 OUNCES ON FRONT LEFT WHILE THE REAR TIRES ONLY REQUIRED .5 OUNCES OF WEIGHT. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED THREE TIMES BY DIFFERENT PLACES AND ACCORDING TO THE TIRES EXPERTS, THE TIRES "DON'T SPIN WELL". ONE UNIROYAL DEALER SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE SELLING DEALER OF THE CAR AND HAVE HIM REPLACE THE TIRES. THIS IS NOT A GMC ISSUE BUT A UNIROYAL ISSUE. AFTER ROTATING THE DEFECTIVE FRONT TIRES TO THE REAR, THE REAR TIRES NOW HUM AND THE RIDE IS TERRIBLE. THESE TIRES WERE POORLY MANUFACTURED AND EVEN USING HEAVY WEIGHTS, CANNOT BE BALANCED PROPERLY. GIVEN THE FACT THAT MY GMC JIMMY HAS A POOR ROLLOVER RATING, I'M AFRAID THESE REAR TIRES WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF NOT REPLACED. *AK (TIRESIZE: P23570R15)
