2000 GMC Jimmy Powertrain (other) Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Powertrain (other) reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE ENTIRE CAR IS DEFECTIVE, THOUGH IT DOES NOT STATE IT IS A LEMON. I PURCHASED IT USED. I HAVE REPLACED MANY MAJOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT CONSIDERED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, SUCH A DRIVER'S DOOR HINGES AND BEARINGS, HOOD RELEASE CABLE, STEERING ARM (TWICE) HUBS (TWICE) THE WIRING SYSTEM IS FAULTY. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 4 ALTERNATORS IN UNDER 2 1/2 YEARS. *JB

MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2000 JIMMY. BOUGHT IT USED FROM CARMAX AT 18K MILES ON JAN 2003, GOT EXT. WARRANTY, BUT SOON AFTER, FRONT BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED, REPLACED BY CARMAX FOR FREE, BUT 6 MOS LATER BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED. WAS ADVISED THAT REAR ROTORS AND BRAKES WERE ALMOST AT END OF LIFE. 9 MOS LATER, REPLACED REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, SPENT $450 AS WELL AS REPLACING SERPENTINE BELT AND FLUSHING BREAK FLUID, TOTAL COST $650. PROBLEMS WITH SUNROOF STARTED IN APR 2003, IT FINALLY STOPPED WORKING AND WAS REPLACED AT 43K MILES UNDER EXT WARRANTY, HAD TO GET NEW BATTERY, NOISE IN UNDER CARRIAGE ON DRIVERS SIDE, DETERMINED TO BE PROBLEMS WITH HUB BEARINGS AND IDLE ARM, INNER TIE ROD, ALL REPLACED UNDER EXT WARRANTY, TOTAL COST WOULD HAVE BEEN $750. *NM

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

THIS VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED NEW ALL FOUR WHEELS OUT OF BALANCE, OUT OF ALIGNMENT, AND A SEVERE DRIVELINE VIBRATION. THE CURE FOR THE DRIVELINE VIBRATION WAS TO REINSTALL THE DRIVESHAFT BECAUSE IT WAS A 180 DEGREES OUT! I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY OTHER JIMMY'S WERE DELIVERED LIKE THIS, BUT IT SURE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR US. SHAME ON GENERAL MOTORS!!!!! DT

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
