My 2000 Jimmy has leaks assoxiated with the oil lines. I have found out that this is and has been a known problem for many years. Where is the recall? I just spent over $400 to repair. . . Gm should pick up this cost.

I purchased a used 2001 GMC Jimmy from performance (lemon dealer) pontiac in syracuse n. Y. . The vehicle had 36,000 miles on it and 7 months later (purchased 6/03) the engine is shot. It had a leak through either a head gasket or head/block and antifreeze had been leaking into the engine oil. My vehicle now needs another engine or a complete rebuild!.

Was told by state farm this was a design defect. The oil lines leak from the engine down to the filter that is on the front bumper instead of on the engine.

I have a 1999 chevy blazer, and a 2000 GMC Jimmy, which are both basically the same vehicles. The 99 blazer developed an oil leak from the oil lines at 33,000 miles, and the 2000 now has the same oil lines leaking at 41,000 miles. I have heard that this is a common problem with these vehicles, and engines have been ruined due to the oil lines. I feel that gm should offer to replace the obviously defective oil lines.
Oil cooler hoses leak. Known issue on this vehicle. Failure results in full oil capacity on road, and probable engine replacement.
