Total Junk - 2001 GMC Jimmy
By Run Away - June 12 - 5:13 pmThis car has been nothing but one problem after another. Bought it for my wife to haul the kids around in but it seems like im working on it more than it runs. We have replaced rear end, month later the transmission went out, next the fuel pump quit, then the lock quit working, and now the thing wont start half of the time. Had it checked today and its the spider coil. It has been nothing but a money pit.

Complete Money Pit - 1998 GMC Jimmy
By spartan268 - March 25 - 3:30 pmMy parents bought me this car when I turned 16, they got it for about $3000. Unfortunately, they didnt take the time to make sure everything was in good shape. Over the past 2.5 years Ive replaced: Trans, a/c condenser, cat converter, front hub assmebly, radiator, exhaust, battery (twice), several computer chips, and now my fuel pump just died. Im pretty sure theres more, but I cant even remember. Id also expect a small SUV to get a little better mileage. By now, I could have bought 3 of these with the price of repairs - this thing is such a headache and a money pit, I cant wait to get rid of it. This will hands down be the last GM I ever buy.

Junk - 2001 GMC Jimmy
By vince_27 - March 9 - 11:04 amNever buy a 99 GMC Jimmy 2 Door 4.3L Sport. They are Junk! I had to put a new trans in it $1500. Plus upper and lower ball joins on both sides $426. They heater dont work. Also the rear end needs to be rebuild $700. The pinion bearings and gears are bad. Make lots of humming noise when your going down the road and let off the gas.

Piece of Junk - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By Nicole - December 16 - 9:51 pmThe first year we bought this vehicle, we had no problems. Then it all happened. It only has 95000 kms now and was bought with 75000 kms. There is a knocking noise that happens intermittently that no one knows what it is, the brakes and rotors have been replaced, wheel bearings, the gas gauge hasnt worked for 3 years, the seat handle snapped off, the power window switch on driver side doesnt work, front speakers have blown for no reason oh and we get 200 kms a tank! This is a piece of junk and i would never buy one or any GMC again!

Never again! - 2001 GMC Jimmy
By ex-GMCers - December 16 - 1:14 amThis was the worst choice we ever made! Things replaced: transmission module, overhead compass/temp, ignition switch, turn signal levers, oil cooler lines x3, door hinge pins, heater door, 4x4 buttons and front wheel bearings. Items with issues: transfer case removed d/t shifting fork lever sticking, transmission sun gear out, jack cover falls off constantly and speakers are crap. Depreciation is terrible. Definitely learned something from this purchase. Research, research, research. I wonder why GM is needing a bail out when they built crap like this but, attached a $31,000 price tag? Definitely expected more bang for our buck! If youre mechanically enclined this is a great vehicle to disolve your time on. Looks good on jack stands.

Expensive to maintain - 2001 GMC Jimmy
By senseiccol - November 14 - 1:30 amIve had to replace the alternator 3 times, the battery 2 times, both of the front ball joints As well as the idle arm have gone out, and the electrical system is junk. The door hinges and pins have gone out. I have also had to replace the fuses a couple of times. It stinks on gas. Nothing lasts very long on this SUV, and as soon as you fix one thing another thing goes out on you. Dont buy a Jimmy! Unless you like spending money on the same thing part again and again.

This is a lemon, buyer beware and read up - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By dmills77 - November 2 - 10:57 amWe have had nothing but problems with this car. Buyers need to really review what others are saying as they seem to have all similar issues. 4 wheel drive engages itself as you are driving. Heater issues, wiring issues, the list goes on and on. I will never buy a GMC again. Really do your research! Google the make, year and model and read up on them. I cant believe that some of these things that we are having problems with havent been recalled its obviously issues many are having and over and over again once they are fixed. The worst car we have ever owned!

Worst buy - 2001 GMC Jimmy
By Tom - March 19 - 6:06 amWorst purchase Ive ever made. Never better than 12 MPG on highway. Very little support from untrustworthy dealership. Required front ball joints at 60,000 miles because "southern hospital" mechanics failed to lubricate chassi properly and dealership refused to fix. No room in vehicle back seats. Have back seat belts for three, can only fit 2 people. Transmission gone at 140,000. NEVER ANOTHER GMC PRODUCT

Trash Truck or SUV? - 1999 GMC Jimmy
By Alex - March 14 - 8:53 pmNot to say that every thing about it is bad, but i have never owned a worse vehicle. I average 9.5 mpg driving conservatively and find myself in a serious money pit constantly b/c if its not the 3rd time i have to put gas in it in one week, Im at the shop paying 500 dollars to replace the next thing that went wrong with it. I have replaced pretty much everything under the hood with the exception of the block itself, and that doesnt come cheap. All in all i would not recommend this car to anyone unless it was free and they only needed it because they are doing a demolition derby with it. Hopefully you wont have to make the same mistake as me and buy a jimmy.

By ramdaddi - December 11 - 10:13 amyou will need a second car while this one is in the shop!! bumper to bumper, this ride was designed by a bunch of engineers who see cheech and chong as THEIR role models!! i thank God that i purchased an extended warranty, or i would easily be out over ten grand! the service engine light keeps me company. finally went off with a new injector pump in mid summer, but now it is back!! EXTENDED WARRANTY!!
