2001 GMC JIMMY Complaints

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
