WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 GMC JIMMY MY LEFT SIDE UPPER BALL JOINT BROKE. LUCKILY I HAD JUST CAME OUT OF A SHARP CORNER AND MY SPEED WAS ONLY ABOUT 25 MPH. A CAR HAD JUST PASSED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION WHEN MY VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE LEFT, HALFWAY INTO THE OTHER LANE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF IT. UPON INSPECTION, THE TIRE WAS LEANING INWARD AND MY BRAKE LINE WAS SEVERED. I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. *TR
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. *NM
I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I AM THE THIRD PERSON I KNOW OF WITH GMC JIMMY 99 OR NEWER WHO HAD TO HAVE UPPER BALL JOINTS, TIEROD(S) AND THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED WHEN VEHICLE WAS AT OR JUST OVER 3 YRS OLD. THE FACT THAT 2 OF THE 3 HAD THE PROBLEMS PAID FOR BY GMC DEALER, EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, MAKES ME THINK GM KNEW THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING & CHOSE TO ADDRESS IT ON AN "AS NEEDED BASIS, INSTEAD OF A RECALL. MY COSTS WERE SAID TO BE A "GM CUSTOMER LOYALTY ADJUSTMENT". I AM CONFUSED THAT MY DEALER AT FIRST SAID I WAS TO PAY FOR PARTS ONLY, NO LABOR. THEN CHANGED IT TO LABOR ONLY, NOT PARTS. I NOTICED AFTERWARD THAT MY INVOICE FOR THE WORK SHOWS WORDING THAT LIFETIME WARRANTY APPLIES TO ONLY CUSTOMER PAID PARTS. DOES THAT MEAN SINCE I DID...
