Problems with 2000 GMC Jimmy STRUCTURE

This happens a lot. i was backing up out of my sister's driveway and when i hit the brakes there was a crunching feeling under my foot along with a weird sound like, "doing" at the end. i could not stop fast enough and ran into her brother in laws hitch on his truck with my right rear corner bumper cover. (if that's what it's called? maybe fascia?) it didn't hurt his truck at all, but it sure busted up that corner piece real good on my jimmy. it's been scary a few times since! i have had the brakes bled, and new brake pads installed, and it's still doing it! also, the abs light is on most of the time. when it's off is when this problem occurs. so i get a little panicky when that light goes off, although i'm pretty sure it shouldn't be on to begin with? i don't know what else to do about this except to contact someone about it. i read somewhere that this abs issues is from a problem with a sensor something or other gets corroded and has been recalled. is this true? p.s. i have noticed the abs light goes off when it's rainy, sometimes when it's snowy, and usually when you first get in the vehicle to go somewhere, if that helps. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 gmc jimmy. the contact stated that the rear latch, front driver and front passenger side doors failed to close. the contact mentioned that the failure would occur during cold weather. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 86,342 and the current mileage was 133,000.

Slowly the door has been getting harder and harder to close. then the door panel started popping off everytime you close the door and now the door wont close all the way. was told jimmys are well known for this problem with the door hinges... *tr

Gmc jimmy, both driver and passenger doors drop when opened. wont close correctly, have to slam them. per a csc representative at gmc, this is a known ongoing problem, with no resolution. i want the hinges on both doors replaced on my vehicle and my sons gmc sonoma. before the doors don't shut. they say there is nothing they can do to help me with this situation because i am not an long time reliable customer to the speedway chevy dealership they called! *nm

Dt: the contact owns a 2000 gmc envoy diamond edition which he bought new with major guard protection. currently has 40,000 miles on it, and two years left on my major guard insurance. a safety problem surfaced. the top hinges on the two front doors cracked , causing doors to open while driving down the highway. the front doors were sagging and not aligned correctly with striker plate. the contact stopped at local dealership and talked to the service representative. . he looked for tsb bulletins for 2000 jimmy envoy. he said there were no bulletins or recalls on the door hinges , but noticed they have changed from welded hinges back to bolt on hinges, and the problems were not covered by gm or major guard protection plan. for approximately $700-$800 they could change the hinges to solve the problem. *ak

Pin in driver door hing broke

2000 gmc jimmy experiencing problem with start up as well as with the gas gauge on the dashboard. *mr the incident occurred on an extremely cold morning in which the vehicle would not start. the following day the vehicle started, but the consumer noticed that the gas gauge started going from empty to full. the consumer was instructed by the manufacturer to take the vehicle to the dealer and have them replace the pcm module (powertrain control module) free of charge. the engineer suggested that this problem would occur if the weather is very cold. *sc the passenger side weather strip failed. *jb

Door hinges have broken at least four times since purchase 2 1/2 years ago - the bushing breaks and the door "falls" open and when pulled close, hikes up over the peg. can't understand why this problem keeps recurring on both doors and we have to pay $200 to have it fixed! *jb

While pulling into an intersection vehicle lost steering. vehicle towed to a repair shop, and informed consumer that engine cradle bolts needed to be replaced. feel free to provide any further information.*ak
