2000 GMC JIMMY Complaints

FUEL GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED FOR THE LAST YEAR. IT GOES FROM FULL TO 3/4 OF A TANK AND STAYS THERE. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO "E" THEN BOUNCE AROUND. HAVE BEEN COUNTING MILES BETWEEN FILL UPS TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS. *JB

FUEL GUAGE DOES NOT WORK. MUST WATCH ODOMETER TO GUESS WHEN GAS NEEDED. ABS ENGAGES AT SLOW SPEEDS. REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. DOORS MUST BE SLAMMED VIOLENTLY TO CLOSE DOORS.

GMC JIMMY, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS DROP WHEN OPENED. WONT CLOSE CORRECTLY, HAVE TO SLAM THEM. PER A CSC REPRESENTATIVE AT GMC, THIS IS A KNOWN ONGOING PROBLEM, WITH NO RESOLUTION. I WANT THE HINGES ON BOTH DOORS REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND MY SONS GMC SONOMA. BEFORE THE DOORS DON'T SHUT. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION BECAUSE I AM NOT AN LONG TIME RELIABLE CUSTOMER TO THE SPEEDWAY CHEVY DEALERSHIP THEY CALLED! *NM

2000 GMC JIMMY HAS HAD 4 FUEL PUMPS IN LAST YEAR AND A HALF JUST STOPPING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND 2 TRANSMISSIONS SAME AS FUEL PUMPS STOPPING WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WIRING HARNESS VERY BRITTLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP. ADDITIONALLY, THE MECHANIC DETERMINED TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LOW AND THE WIRES OF THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, ADDED TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND NEW WIRES TO THE WIRING HARNESS. AFTERWARDS, THE STALLING PROBLEM PERSISTED. UPDATED 4/6/2006 - *NM

THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ONCE THE AMOUNT OF GAS IS BELOW HALF A TANK. I HAVE A GMC 2000 MODEL. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET, YET NO RECALL. THE GAS NEEDLE EITHER STICKS, BOUNCES AROUND OR SHOWS A FULL TANK WHEN EMPTY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE OR IF I WILL END UP STRANDED ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I GUESS IF SOMEONE HAS A DEADLY ACCIDENT DUE TO THEIR VEHICLE CUTTING OFF DUE TO AN EMPTY FUEL TANK WITH A GAUGE READING FULL IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, SOMEONE WILL LOOK AT THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THEN. I HOPE THAT I AM NOT THAT PERSON. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS COMING TO A STOP, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGED MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED HOWEVER, NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC TOOK OUT THE FUSE TO THE ANTILOCK BRAKES.

WHILE ON MYCARSTATS.COM I NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO MY 2000 GMC JIMMY JUMPING INTO 4 LOW. ONE PERSON WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN AT A STOP SIGN BUT IT HAPPENS WITH MINE A LOT. THE ODD THING IS WE HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS THE MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HEAR IT SWITCHING YOU CAN TRY TO CONTINUE MOVING AND PUSHING THE 2WD BUTTON FRANTICALLY. IF YOU AREN'T LUCKY ENOUGH TO CATCH IT, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STOPPED COMPLETELY, PUT IN REVERSE AND PUSH THE 2WD BUTTON CONTINUOUSLY. OTHER TIMES VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF?? I TOO AGREE THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS WHEN YOU CAN'T GO ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH OR NEED TO PUT YOUR CAR IN REVERSE AT A STOP SIGN!!*JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 99V220000 CONCERNING ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK
