Five problems related to brake abs warning light have been reported for the 2000 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This happens a lot. I was backing up out of my sister's driveway and when I hit the brakes there was a crunching feeling under my foot along with a weird sound like, "doing" at the end. I could not stop fast enough and ran into her brother in laws hitch on his truck with my right rear corner bumper cover. (if that's what it's called? maybe fascia?) it didn't hurt his truck at all, but it sure busted up that corner piece real good on my Jimmy. It's been scary a few times since! I have had the brakes bled, and new brake pads installed, and it's still doing it! also, the abs light is on most of the time. When it's off is when this problem occurs. So I get a little panicky when that light goes off, although I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be on to begin with? I don't know what else to do about this except to contact someone about it. I read somewhere that this abs issues is from a problem with a sensor something or other gets corroded and has been recalled. Is this true? p. S. I have noticed the abs light goes off when it's rainy, sometimes when it's snowy, and usually when you first get in the vehicle to go somewhere, if that helps.
1. Normal driving 2. Abs light on. 3. New wheel bearings. They are not cheap to have them installed twice!!!! light still on. No abs brakes!!!! but I have brakes.
The contact stated while driving the abs activated. This resulted in extended stopping distance during low-speed applications. The vehicle has not been taken to dealer for service at this time. Updated 1/4/2005 - the failure of the abs did not result in the abs light illuminating. The vehicle has been serviced at a GMC dealer to repair the problem.
Wheel bearings on the front left and right side. They both failed, plus the abs light illuminated. The whole wheel bearing assembly was replaced this truck is junk and I will never own a gm ever again. This repair cost about 900. 00 total.
Abs light keeps coming on, and has already been replaced once. Dealer cant find cause. Driver window would not roll up all the way while driving due to it was misaligned. Underhood light bulb broken, dealer replaced bulb. Air bag light illuminates intermittently.
