First the transmission went out and I had to have it rebuilt...then, I had to replace a ball joint...now the other one has to be replaced. The mechanic says it is too dangerous to drive. These repairs are not cheap and premature! prior to having the transmission rebuilt I had it put on the machine and it sent out several different codes that had to be corrected...nevertheless, we still had to replace the transmission...also, the four wheel drive gets stuck periodically.

2000 Jimmy has had noise and vibration in front end since it had 4900 miles on it. Repeated complaints to the dealer but they "could not duplicate" the problem, so nothing's been done. Sounds like the driver's side front wheel is going to fall off, and vibration is felt in steering wheel, seat and floor.

I have had to replace both the right and left wheel bearings in less than six months at a cost of $200 in warranty deductibles, and missed work as a result. I have read other complaints on this site and am completely appalled at the fact that GM has not considered a recall concerning this issue.

This car has continually had transmission problems. I have also stopped in the dealer on 2 separate times about the transmission. The mechanic hooked up a computer to see the problem. I was never given a work order sheet for those 2 times. It has also been recalled for seat belts & ignition switch.
