This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The entire car is defective, though it does not state it is a lemon. I purchased it used. I have replaced many major parts that are not considered routine maintenance, such a driver's door hinges and bearings, hood release cable, steering arm (twice) hubs (twice) the wiring system is faulty. I have gone through 4 alternators in under 2 1/2 years.
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'm the original owner and vehicle had 27,000 miles when problem first occurred). Same problem occurred recently this 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). Furthermore this problem never occurred before with any other vehicle I've 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 problem and a known defect that should be fixed by GM.
