  Dont Buy a GMC Jimmy - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By srussellshome - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this Jimmy since 99.It has been nothing but trouble.We took it to OH at Thanksgiving just couple weeks Before we could get there the RPMs stuck uplike between 3wouldnt come down,then the check engine light came on.This past July check engine came on for like th 8th time. This time I was told it needed a new valve body for the transmission. This was done 2 weeks after that light came on again, this time was the eye that controls the flow of air thru engine. It has came on 2 more times since and the car dealership has had my Jimmy for over a week. They cant figure out what is wrong with itthis time.

  Stay away, Stay away - 1996 GMC Jimmy
  By Lisa22 - July 25 - 2:00 am

  Bought new and the doors were too short for the frame. Two days after purchase the transmission went out. The dealership would not take the car back. Since then, all mechanical parts have been replaced at least once. Service engine light is always on. Therefore, it lets you know the engine is running.

  FIRST & LAST GMC - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By mysticknight - April 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought this Jimmy used with only 26000 miles & was in for repair several times. The brake/tail lights failed, weatherstripping popping off, driver door hinge had to be repaired, passenger side ball joint replaced, reverse lights stayed on through all gears & a switch had to be replaced a week after getting it back from the shop. The transmission failed & had to be rebuilt at about 41K miles. The dealer seemed to do everything right the first time & I only had to pay for one repair. They paid for the transmission even though it was out of warranty. I just cant keep a car I never get to drive. This is my first & last GMC.

  PATHETIC!!!!! - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By Maher - April 19 - 2:00 am

  THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. GM MUST BE VERY AFRAID OF THEIR QUALITY HAVING ONLY A 3 YEAR, 60,000KMS. WARRANTY! WE ONLY HAVE 50,000KMS. ON THE 4X4 BUT THE 3 YEARS HAVE PASSED AND BELIEVE ME THIS IS 100% JUNK. FROM DAY ONE,ALL THE BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE IGNITION WENT OUT ON IT. THE EGR VALVE, THE TRANSMISSION SEALS, TWO ENGINE SENSORS, THE OIL COOLANT LINES, THE BATTERY, THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE THAT IS ANY GOOD. THE ENGINE IS UNDERSIZED, AND WE DONT EVEN GET 17 MILES TO THE GALLON ON THE HIGHWAY.

  not the best suv - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By michigan snow driver - March 29 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle was a pain from the beginning, secondday we had to get the antenna wire re-connected to get FM. Weve had problems with the wheel bearings and $800 later it still makes a noise. The windshield wipers froze one day and they started crash into eachother and Im afraid to drive in the rain now. Sometimes when control is in off position they stay up. Rear windshield wiper doesnt always work. Rattles come from everywhere with all the cheap plastic. The suspension creaks. The plastic panels in the back fall off for no reason other than the little fasteners dont hold. It has a rocky and unconfortable ride, and backseat is small.

  NICKEL AND DIME TO DEATH - 1999 GMC Jimmy
  By LORA - January 15 - 2:00 am

  Where do I start, new ball joints,new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. new front stablizer bolts, c-v shaft and boot. All the above repairs still have not fixed the numerous problems and this vehicle has only 70,000 miles. I now have to replace the starter, throttle position sensor and possibly have the injectors flushed. I will be about $ 2000.00 up side down in my money pit. Do not recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  no quality in american cars - 1995 GMC Jimmy
  By sandbox - August 14 - 2:00 am

  This SUV was to be my vacation play car and it only can stand up to in-town travel. 1st scare was going 75 mph in 5000 ft elevation...and car stalls. No fix...tech states this model lacks a computer chip to recalibrate info for fuel system. Traveling in the middle of summer in 100+ degrees...A/C wimps out. Intermittent problem [cannot be duplicated in town] occurs on highway after an hour in elevated heat does...when you most need it. And lastly, the big Vortex engine with 190 horsepower falls behind 4 cyliner cars while driving up hills...torque sucks!
