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. *NM

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

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy

THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC SERVICE BRAKE NORMAL, EMERGENCY, AND PARK BRAKING PERFORMANCE."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED, THE SEATING SEAL COULD BE BROKEN DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY, OR FROM EARLY ROAD INPUTS OR BRAKE FLUID CYCLING, AND A LEAK COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE BRAKE STOPPING DISTANCE.
