: the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the engine stalled without any prior warning. The engine would not restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop for inspection. The mechanic suggested replacing the fuel pump. Additionally, the mechanic determined transmission fluid was low and the wires of the wiring harness needed to be replaced. The mechanic replaced the fuel pump assembly, added transmission fluid, and new wires to the wiring harness. Afterwards, the stalling problem persisted. Updated 4/6/2006 -
At 50,000 miles, both front wheel bearings had to be replaced, as the vehicle was pulling off the road as it was being driven. I was told that they wore because of no grease. Now at 61,000 miles, the intake manifold gasket is leaking, and the oil lines are also leaking. The dealership estimated repair costs at well over $1100 dollars. This is a 2000 GMC Jimmy, and only has 61,000 miles.
My 2000 Jimmy has leaks assoxiated with the oil lines. I have found out that this is and has been a known problem for many years. Where is the recall? I just spent over $400 to repair...GM should pick up this cost.

I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer, and a 2000 GMC Jimmy, which are both basically the same vehicles. The 99 Blazer developed an oil leak from the oil lines at 33,000 miles, and the 2000 now has the same oil lines leaking at 41,000 miles. I have heard that this is a common problem with these vehicles, and engines have been ruined due to the oil lines. I feel that GM should offer to replace the obviously defective oil lines.
