2000 GMC JIMMY Complaints

WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. THEY BOTH FAILED, PLUS THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE WHOLE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED THIS TRUCK IS JUNK AND I WILL NEVER OWN A GM EVER AGAIN. THIS REPAIR COST ABOUT 900.00 TOTAL. *JB

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

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

THE DOME OVERRIDE BUTTON WHEN PUSHED FOUR TIMES WITHIN 6 SECONDS DISABLES THE AUTOMATIC EXTERIOR LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS!. THE OPTION WAS WAS NOT LISTED IN THE USERS MANUAL. WE WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN I FOUND IT BY ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO TURN ON THE DOME LIGHT. GENERAL MOTORS ADMITS THAT THIS WAS OVERLOOKED AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2000 MANUAL. IT ALMOST GOT US IN AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLY WORSE. IF I FOUND IT BY ACCIDENT, SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE ELSE WILL TOO. THE NEXT TIME, IT MIGHT GET SOMEONE KILLED. PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE 2000 MODELS NEED TO MADE AWARE OF THIS OPTION. I SUSPECT THAT THIS OMITTED OPTION IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE 2000 JIMMY AND FEAR THAT IT MAY INVOLVE MANY, IF NOT ALL OF THE 2000 GMC VEHICLES WHICH HAVE THIS DOME OVERRIDE BUTTON. DT

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT WHEEL BEARINGS IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AT A COST OF $200 IN WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLES, AND MISSED WORK AS A RESULT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND AM COMPLETELY APPALLED AT THE FACT THAT GM HAS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. DT

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE REAR SEAT BELT IS TO NARROW FOR THE CONSUMER TO FIT HER CHILD CAR SEAT IN THE VEHICLE. DEALER WILL BE NOTIFIED TS
