I HAVE A 2000 SLT JIMMY WHICH HAS BEEN A PAIN. I'VE HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED, UPPER BALL JOINTS REPLACED, MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, U JOINTS REPLACED, HUB AND WHEEL BEARING PROBLEMS, ALTENATOR FAILURE, A/C BLOWER MOTOR REPLACED, BROKEN BLEND DOOR WHICH CAUSED ENCODER MOTOR AND MODULE FAILURE, REAR WIPER MOTER REPLACED, BACK WINDOW LOCK REPLACED. TOO MANY THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. GMC SHOULD CONSIDER SOME SORT OF RECALL BECAUSE I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES.*AK

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHEN PRESSED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC WANTED TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. *NLM. *AK PH *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT RIGHT UPPER BALL JOINT AND LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. RELATED RECALL 01V364000, BUT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK

HAD TO REPLACE BOTH UPPER BALL JOINTS, RIGHT TIE-ROD & RIGHT WHEEL BEARING WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES & 2 MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. ONE OWNER VEHICLE, SERVICED REGULARLY AT DEALERSHIP ONLY. *NLM

DOOR HINGES HAVE BROKEN AT LEAST FOUR TIMES SINCE PURCHASE 2 1/2 YEARS AGO - THE BUSHING BREAKS AND THE DOOR "FALLS" OPEN AND WHEN PULLED CLOSE, HIKES UP OVER THE PEG. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING ON BOTH DOORS AND WE HAVE TO PAY $200 TO HAVE IT FIXED! *JB

MY 2000 GMC JIMMY UNIROYAL LAREDO TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH, NO ONE WAS INJURED. BUT THE COMPANY REP AT DISCOUNT TIRE SAYS IT HAD TO BE LOW ON AIR. I DO NOT AGREE I HAD CHECKED ALL MY TIRES JUST THE WEEK BEFORE AND THEY ALL HAD THE SAME PRESSURE OF 32 PSI, THE TIRE SPLIT HORIZONTALLY IN FOUR PLACES IN THE FRONT AND 1 IN THE BACK. *JB

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CAR SEAT EVALUATION/LESSON, WHICH TAUGHT HOW TO PROPERLY SECURE THE CAR SEAT. (GRACO) MR SCC *JB
