2001 GMC Jimmy Problems

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HINGES UNSAFE DESIGN REPLACE THEM 38 TIMES NO KIDDING. AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON NOT BLINKING STEADY ON FOR 5 YEARS. ABS KICKS IN ON DRY ROAD WHEN TURNING SOMETIMES. AND YES ALL NEW HUBS ARE ON IT. OTHER THAN THESE THINGS THE CAR IS BULLET PROOF AND LOVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC JIMMY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 06/02/2017 *JS

MY SON ASKED ME IF I COULD TELL WHAT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND INSIDE THE 2001 GMC JIMMY. WHEN CHECKING FOR TURN SIGNALS,LIGHTS, ETC, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WHAT LEAST WHEN THE CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD, THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. OTHER TIMES THEY WORK. DAVIS STANLEY DEALERSHIP SAID ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN FIXED. IF THE RECALLS WERE FIXED, THE REPLACEMENTS APPARENTLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINALS. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS BEING DRIVEN AROUND IN A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE OF A SAFETY ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT GM ONLY HAD TO WORRY ABOUT REPAIRING ONCE EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN AFTER THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. IS THERE A SITE THAT WILL TELL WHO AND WHEN THE RECALLS WERE FIXED. THANKS *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, I PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING TO START ON FIRE, AND FOUND THE BOTTOM BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING BUT THE TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. AFTER GETTING HOME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY GMC VIN# HAD BEEN INCLUDED IN A RECALL. BUT WHAT WAS REPLACED AND WHEN IT WAS REPLACED I DO NOT KNOW. IT ONLY STATED THAT MY VIN # WAS INCLUDED, AND THAT NO OTHER RECALLS WERE IN AFFECT AT THIS TIME. SO ACCORDING TO GMC WEB SITE THERE WERE 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND 3 DIFFERENT PARTS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. 1- THE BRAKE SWITCH, 2- THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND 3- THE FLASHER SWITCH, AND TO DETERMINE WHICH PART IS THE FAULTY ONE YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC THEN PAY HIM IN THIS INSTANCE BETWEEN 300.00 TO 400.00 (WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE YET DO TO I CAN NOT AFFORD IT) FOR THE NEW PART AND HIS TIME TO REPLACE IT. SO HOW CAN A CAR MANUFACTURER ONLY HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE ISSUE ONLY 1 TIME WHEN APPARENTLY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT ANY BETTER OR REDESIGNED TO BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL PART? I FEEL THAT GM OR ANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE FOR FREE ANY RECALLED PART FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD ONLY HAVE TO BE FIXED 1 TIME, AND WOULD NEVER BE AN ISSUE AGAIN.(AND I WOULD NOT BE USING MY TIME TO FILE THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT). BETTER YET HOW ABOUT BETTER ENGINEERING AND QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING TO ELIMINATE RECALLS ALL TOGETHER. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC JIMMY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD, ABNORMAL BANG. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT AXLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 85,000.

The contact owns a 2001 GMC Jimmy. The contact stated that while at a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle turned off independently. The contact stated that he had to depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time to keep the vehicle running. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the spider fuel injectors needed to be replaced. Additionally, there was very low compression on cylinder #1 and #3 of 55 PSI. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was unrepairable. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR THE 2001 GMC JIMMY, MAINLY RECALL #01073A & B STATING EXT. LIGHTING BRAKE SWITCH/ NO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I'M TOLD THAT THE SERVICE WAS APPARENTLY COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE IN 2002, BUT ANOTHER RECALL CAME OUT IN 2008 STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM CANADA IS REFUSING TO DO THE NECESSARY RECALL ON MY TRUCK STATING THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS OVER A DECADE OLD, SO IT'S MY PROBLEM. I WON'T BE PURCHASING ANOTHER GMC IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING AND ITS THE SWITCH THAT NEEDS REPLACING. THANKS FOR NOTHING GM! YOU JUST LOST A LONG TERM CUSTOMER OVER A RECALL PART. DEC 2001 - RECALL #01V364000 MAY 2008 - RECALL #01V364 / 01073B

WHEN I GOT TO WORK ON TUESDAY MORNING, WENT TO PARK CAR IN SPACE, PUT IN REVERSE, CLUNK, NO REVERSE, CAN'T GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED 30 MILES EACH WAY TO MY MECHANIC. TURNS OUT THE PLANETARY GEAR WENT, NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, COSTING OVER $3000.00. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I SEE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON SOMETHING CALLED THE SUNSHELL GEAR 4160E THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON MANY OF GMC PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS. I EVEN CAME ACROSS A SERVICE BULLETIN THEY PUT OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT NEVER ANY RECALL ON SUCH A PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2001 GMC JIMMY. THE SERVICE BULLETIN RUNS IN AUTOS FROM 1993-2005. NOW, I WONDER, WHY NO RECALL ON SUCH A HUGE PROBLEM. I MEAN IT'S THE MOST COSTLY THING TO REPAIR AND HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL. I WOULD SUGGEST THIS BE LOOKED INTO, I MEAN NOW I GET A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM GMC WHICH I'M SURE THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SHELLED OUT BIG BUCKS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND MOSTLY AT LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THEIR VEHICLES. TRANNY'S SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THAT. I AM SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT RECEIVED ON THIS SUBJECT FROM WHAT I SAW IN MY RESEARCH. IF IT'S A DEFECT, RECALL IT AND FIX IT. WE, AS CONSUMERS WORK HARD TO HAVE A VEHICLE WE CAN RELY ON AND TO HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM LIKE THIS HAPPEN IS REALLY NOT RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY GMC IS AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH 2001 GMC JIMMY. BATTERY - WAS LEAKING & RUNNING DOWN ENGINE COMPARTMENT - (UNDER WARRANTY) DEALER WAS GOING TO REPLACE BATTERY & FIX WHERE ACID HAD EAT UP PAN, UNDER COATING,WIRES, ETC. DEALER DID NOT DO ANY OF THIS - ALL THEY DID WAS SUPER GLUE BAD BATTERY CONNECTOR BACK TO BATTERY. I WENT BACK TO DEALER TO COMPLAIN & WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EVEN LOOK TO VERIFY THAT NOTHING WAS DONE. WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 DAYS LATER. GO FIGURE! BRAKES - HAVE GONE THRU 2 SETS OF PADS ALL AROUND - HAD TO REPLACE 2 ROTORS SO FAR- AS THEY WERE EAT UP COMPLETELY - NOTHING LEFT ON ONE SIDE. MAKES CONSTANT GRINDING NOISE LIKE BRAKES ARE BEING RIDDEN. LIGHTS - HAD TO HAVE EMERGENCY SWITCH REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.( HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS) TRANSMISSION - ALWAYS REVVING UP OR DROPPING DOWN. FRONT END - POPPING CRACKING NOISES. INTERIOR LIGHTS - DIM & LIGHT ALWAYS ON EVERYTHING. ASK 1ST DEALER FOR A PRINT OUT OF SERVICE ON VEHICLE- WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE TO IT EVER. ASK 2ND DEALER FOR PRINT OUT - FOUND THAT VEHICLE HAD BEEN TOWED IN 3 TIMES FOR PROBLEMS ( I BOUGHT IT WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT) THEY HAD REPLACED A FEW THINGS SEVERAL TIMES (FORGIVE ME I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFO HANDY AT PRESENT) ALSO, SOMETIMES IE FEELS LIKE ACCELERATOR STICKS. I USUALLY DRIVE CHEVY - THIS WAS MY 1ST & LAST GMC (I KNOW THAT THEY ARE THE SAME BASICALLY) I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR & I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET MY OLD CHEVY RUNNING AGAIN SO I CAN GET RID OF THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!! PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE. THE TIME LINE IS FROM JULY 2002 THRU CURRENT JAN 2 2005. *JB

2001 GMC ENVOY - GAS TANK NECK LEAKING AT GROMMET. GM DOES NOT OFFER A FIX. THE COST OF REPLACING TANK WITH LABOR IS AN ABSURD $600-$800 DOLLARS. THIS SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR RECALL OF ALL SIMILAR MODELS. *TR

EVENT LEADING TO FAILURE: I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY THE LEMON IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE FAILURE (S) OCCUR ON A REGULAR BASIS. I BOUGHT THIS 2001 GMC JIMMY IN 2004. AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR. IT HAD 38,075 MILES ON IT. I DIDN'T HAVE IT A MONTH BEFORE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT. SHORTLY AFTER THE POLLUTION CONTROL AIR PUMP WENT OUT. THEN IT WAS THE AIR FILTER PUMP AND HOSES TO THE REMOTE FILTER. NEXT CAME REPLACEMENT OF ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS. ALL OF THIS BEFORE 40,000 MILES. NEXT CAME THE FUEL PUMP(APRIL 2006).A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT WAS THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND FUEL SENSOR. THEN IT WAS REPLACING THE 2WD/ 4WD SELECTOR MODULE IN THE DASH. NEXT IN LINE WAS A NEW ALTERNATOR. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT WAS ANOTHER NEW ALTERNATOR,A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO IT WAS ANOTHER NEW FUEL PUMP. THERE ARE AT LEAST A DOZEN OTHER THINGS THAT WERE REPLACED. I ONLY MENTIONED THE REALLY COSTLY ITEMS. I HAVE SPENT JUST A LITTLE OVER $5000.00 ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK. CONTACTING GMC CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS IS A BIG WASTE OF TIME. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC ANYTHING. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD PULL THE PLUG AND LET GMC CLOSE DOWN FOREVER. *TR

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

Driver and Passenger door will not stay shut while driving, I almost fall out the passenger door while my boyfriend was driving the car from Fett's city motor in omaha nebraska when we bought it the door wouldnt shut we have to lift the doors and slim them shut and lock them and that doesnt even work. My Little 15 year old baby brother and his girlfriend was riding with me while driving down [XXX] and the both doors flew open and i didnt have anywhere to pull over to shut the doors my little brother fall out and his girlfriend. I put down $500 on [XXX] and when we bought the car Fette's motors knew the Driver and Passenger doors wasn't shutting the correct way and they still let me buy the car and that is a health hazard and dangerous. Fett's Motor shouldnt be allowed to sell cars or at least sell cars that isn't a a dangerous zone or safety hazard. My 15 year old baby brother had to go to the ER because he and his girlfriend fall out the passenger door and driver door.
