2000 GMC JIMMY Complaints

I AM FRUSTRATED WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CONSUMER STATED NO WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON PANEL THAT SHOWED INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM. ALSO, VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH, LIKE ENGINE IS RACING. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE STOP LAMPS (SWITCHES/RELAYS) FAILED 3 TIMES SO FAR. THIS POSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR FAMILIES SINCE THIS COMPONENT FAILS REGULARLY LEAVING THE OCCUPANTS WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DEALERSHIP(S) WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NOTED THAT GMC DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS WIDESPREAD. I TEND TO DISAGREE SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED REGULARLY FOR US. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY 2000 JIMMY OWNERS ON THE ROAD AND UNAWARE OF NON-WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS.*AK

THERE WERE NO LIGHTS IN GEAR SHIFT BOX LOCATED ON FLOOR. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER/MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. ANY ADDED PARTS WOULD BE AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK *YH

WHILE TRAVELING, THERE WERE TREES LINING THE ROAD, CONSUMER COULD NOT SEE AN INTERSETION OR LIGHT, CONSUMER THEN TRAVELED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND CONSUMER WAS BROADSIDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, CONSUMER STATES AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.*JB

WHILE TRAVELING AT 45MPH AND AS A RESULT OF AN HEAD-ON COLLISION, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. *AK VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TWO FRONTAL COLLISIONS IN ONE ACCIDENT, THE FIRST COLLISION WAS AT 40 MPH AND THE SECOND WAS AT 5 MPH, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY BOTH TIMES, 2 CONSUMERS WERE INJURED IN ACCIDENT, AN INSPECTOR STATE AIRBAGS NOT A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. *SLC

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH ON A SIDE STREET AND VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. THEN, VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL, AND HE HIT A LIGHT POLE ,AND BOUNCED OFF THE POLE. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.

CONSUMER WAS GOING 30MPH ON A DIRT ROAD AND SUDDENLY APPLIED BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING AN ANIMAL. VEHICLE SPUN AROUND, AND WHEELS LOCKED UP. CONSUMER WENT TO 1 DEALER, WHO SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH REAR BRAKES. CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO A DIRT DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED LEFT REAR WHEEL HAD LOCKED UP. WHEEL LEFT TRACTS IN DIRT. CONSUMER DECIDED TO GET A 2ND OPINON ON PROBLEM. AFTER PLUGGING THE VEHICLE, IT SHOWED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ABS SYSTEM. DEALER EXPLAINED HOW THIS WAS FIRST YEAR THAT VEHICLES HAVE THE INTEGRATED ABS, AND WERE HAVING ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THEM. ALSO, REAR ROTORS WERE FROZEN AND CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK CONSUMER STATES THERE HAS BEEN 7 BRAKE REPAIRS, CONSUMER IS STILL EXPERIENCING ABS PROBLEMS. CENTER LINK AND IDLER ARM WORE AND WERE REPLACED, CONSUMER IS STILL EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS. *SLC

WHEN DRIVING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NEEDED, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE SMEARING UP THE CENTER PORTION OF WINDSHIELD, CAUSING POOR DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. CONSUMER HAS CONTATCED DEALER. DEALER HAS REPLACED BLADE AND ARMS ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK THERE IS A GAP IN THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW, HOWEVER IT CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED BECAUSE THE HINGES ARE WELDED IN PLACE BY A ROBOT. VEHICLE EXPERIENCES POOR GAS MILEAGE, HOWEVER DEALER STATED THIS WAS NORMAL. *SLC

THERE IS A LOUD POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 1 TIMES, LUBED STEERING. SAID DID NOT HEAR POPPING SOUND.*AK
