Three problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 2000 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Automatic transmission failure at 83,000 miles . Transmission shop said they saw alot of these Jimmy with same problem, lost reverse first, then drove it to shop , in first geer. 1 week and about $2000. 00 for parts and labor.
While driving vehicle stalled without warning. Dealer diagnosed that transmission had failed. Consumer made reference to TSB#010730038 from GMC regarding transmission issues that may result in failure.
I purchased a 2000 GMC Jimmy with 34000 miles on it and at 38000 miles the transmission failed. The sun shell granaded as the service people at GMC dealership put it. Now with 83000 miles the transmission did the same thing. Is there something wrong with the sun shells? is anyone else having this problem. All of my miles are highway miles and I have all my maintanence records to prove that I do scheduled maintanence on my vehicle. I also do not abuse my vehicle and do not tow anything. I'll go broke if the vehicle requires a new transmission every 40000 miles. Each time it cost approx. $4,000. 00 to fix. Can anyone help? thank you.
