Filed Jun 20, 2019 · Airbags, Body · 63,853 miles · MI

Front driver side door hinges unsafe design replace them 38 times no kidding. Airbag light has been on not blinking steady on for 5 years. Abs kicks in on dry road when turning sometimes. And yes all new hubs are on it. Other than these things the car is bullet proof and love it.

I would like to file a complaint about the ABS brake sensor not working. From online search this is a common problem with the 2001 gmc jimmy and no recall has been issued. I have had this issue for the past year that the ABS lights on the dash will come sometimes but at other times it will be off. I have been told the sensor is bad and it would cost over $700.00 to fix. Since this is a big issue I wish you would look into this and have gm issue a recall.

Abs module needs to be repaired at estimated 1200.00 and the pedal brake control and mechanism at 160.00 not including labor. This is ridiculous for a 2001 and have lots of others with similar problems.

Abs wheel speed sensor design does not provide an adequate seal with the unitized hub allowing moisture to cause a premature failure of the bearing on a 2001 gmc jimmy.
