problem #1

Nov 152004

Jimmy 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles
Transmission failure / replaced transmission - upper & lower ball joint failure / replaced upper & lower ball joints - rear window wiper failure / inoperable at this point - extremely expensive replacements with no old parts available at this point. Events leading up to failure I can only attribute to severely poor manufacturing of products, there was no operating misuse or abuse. Also other parts that have failed and have since been replaced are the: Alternator, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and cooling system failures.
