Front wheel bearing
1998 GMC Jimmy suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 25 of 25, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When making a turn vehicle would pull to either the left or the right. Dealer has replaced sway bar/ idle arm and hubs on front end. However, problem still exists. Manufacturer has been contacted. Please provide further information.
I didn't bring the vehicle to the dealership because they told me it was out of warranty. Figures...it went out of warranty in may 2001. I don't think that a vehicle should need new ball joints at 28,916 miles. It is my understanding that the ball joints are being replaced on other gm jimmy's that are older than mine. I aslo, included the emergency brake which I was told was frozen in place. This emergency/parking brake was not used. How would it be frozen in place????
Auto transmission in twice before failed,battery leak damaged elec sys, rear defog stopped working (glass had to be replaced), dealer unable to stop front suspension popping noises, pass seat recliner handle keeps breaking off.
This is the 3rd wheel bearing replaced on this vehicle - 1 at 59,657 and 2 at 71460 miles.
The left wheel bearing failed causing a humming noise from the left front wheel area while driving, the faulty bearing also damaged the wheel, the consumer is requesting reimbursement. Nlm
Premature failure of upper ball joint. Dealer has replaced ball joints , also, pitman and idler arm failed.
Front wheel bearings failed. This caused wheels to become loose. Vehicle made a loud terrible grinding noise. Took vehicle to mechanic who indicated bearings could have sheared off. *ak ABS brake failed. Also, u-joint failed causing grinding noise and vibration.
Front suspension constantly pulls to the right, dealer adjusted caster which improved but did not correct the pulling. Nlm
Failed wheel bearing and loose pittman arm - both were replaced
Steering pulls to the right all the time, have had checked many times, no answers. Can someone help with this problem. Have seen many complaints on this problem!
Idler arm failure, vehicle pulled hard to the left, have saved the defective part if it is needed for any reason
Vehicle pulls to the right and after three attempts to correct the problem the vehicle now exhibits uneven tire wear and a popping noise from front right suspension. Also, after several attempts to correct the air conditioning problem, it continues to cool the interior down well below selected temperature.
My foot with shoes or boots is 6 inches wide and I get stuck under the brake pedal (and against the console) when switching from gas to brake. Several times, I had to avoid the cars in front of me and hit the ditch. Now, I brake with my left foot in emergencies.
When releasing the steering wheel the vehicle immediately begins pulling to the right.
