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.

Loud humming sounds, and front wheels lock up when brakes applied. Both left and right side hub bearings failed. Both hub bearing kits were replaced by the dealer at a cost of almost $1100. 00. This vehicle had just turned 70,000 miles and has never been off roading.

1-normal care and maintenance of this vehicle. 2-the door hinges failed on both front doors, needing expensive replacement. 3-both front hub assemblies failed at 85,000 miles, costing $700. 00plus to repair. Both failures are unacceptable!.

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.

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.

Abs wheel speed sensor design does not provide an adequate seal with the unitized hub allowing moisture to cause a premature failure of the bearing on a 2001 GMC Jimmy.
