Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HEARD A LOUD HUMMING NOISE FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE. DEALER FOUND FRONT HUB BEARING NEEDED REPLACEMENT. DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ON 2/20/03 (NOTE: I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND VEHICLE HAD 27,000 MILES WHEN PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED). SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON 3/15/04 THAT TIME ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE HUB BEARING ON 3/15/04 AND COST WAS SPLIT 50/50 WITH GM AND MYSELF (NOTE: 46,000 MILES ON VEHICLE). SAME PROBLEM RECURRED ON 9/15/06 ON PASSENGER SIDE HUB BEARING. DEALER STATES THAT HUB BEARING IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN WHICH IS A $500 REPAIR JOB. FURTHERMORE THIS PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED OR ANY OTHER NON-JIMMY OWNERS THAT I KNOW OF. FROM REVIEWING YOUR COMPLAINTS AND TALKING TO OTHER JIMMY OWNERS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD RECURRING PROBLEM AND A KNOWN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM. *JB
