Three problems related to brake disc caliper have been reported for the 2000 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Noticed dampness around the left rear brake hose to rear brake caliper. We took our vehicle to be inspected and were told that there are "2" copper washers that are causing the leak and requires replacement. We were also told that this is quite a common problem. If this was not repaired and the leak continued, it would have resulted in the loss brake performance, loss of vehicle control and injury to the occupants.
2000 Jimmy envoy is one big piece of junk!!!!!.
Consumer was going 30mph on a dirt road and suddenly applied brakes to keep from hitting an animal. Vehicle spun around, and wheels locked up. Consumer went to 1 dealer, who said there was no problem with rear brakes. Consumer was pulling into a dirt driveway and noticed left rear wheel had locked up. Wheel left tracts in dirt. Consumer decided to get a 2nd opinon on problem. After plugging the vehicle, it showed there was a problem with abs system.
