  Questionable quality - 1994 GMC Jimmy
  By Slim Jimmy - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I would like to say that in general, i am somewhat happy with my Jimmy. However, the EGR valve is quite troublesome. I also have a motor mount that slips and allows my fan to hit the housing. My Jimmy has 96,000 miles on it and it seems like every time I turn around it is in the shop.

  GMC Farewell tour - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By lwusra - November 8 - 2:00 am

  traded my 97 jimmy with more problems than can list, for the 2000 hoping for better luck to no avail. Comfortabloe my all means for long trips, but cant deal with paying 400 a month for a truck i have to worry about breaking down. only owned it 6 months, was in shop 3 times, smog pump at 36k, alt was going bad, trim was peeling on roof rack.

  GMS 1995 Jimmy 4x4 SUV - 1995 GMC Jimmy
  By Debra White - October 26 - 1:00 am

  After our first purchase of a GMC product, we will NEVER AGAIN purchase a GMC auto. This has been the WORST auto ever for us. Many recalls on it.

  Comfy but Problemmatic - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Rande - October 12 - 2:00 am

  Purchased new in May 2001. First year was great. Starting the second year it has been a nightmare. Wiring went faulty, car woulnt start, lights flickered and eventually stalled in traffic. Ball joints (all) replaced 4 times and Im taking it in for a fifth. Control arms, idle arm, battery, alternator, and tires have all had to be replaced. GMC does not stand behind this vehicle so Ive had to flip the tab for rental vehicles.

  Better than expected - 1999 GMC Jimmy
  By ramped1 - October 8 - 2:00 am

  Through four years of service this vehicle has been surprisingly reliable. It has had just two issues (head gasket had to be replaced under warranty, and the alternater went out at about 42,000 miles), which is better than we expected. The interior is well-designed and functional, although the plastics are inferior and have deteriorated in some places. The engine is excellent, plenty of torque and acceleration. Handling is cumbersome and the ride is jiggly over uneven surfaces. The ride is excellent on smooth roads. Overall, this SUV has been an excellent value.

  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.

  Be afraid. Be very afraid. - 1996 GMC Jimmy
  By jcscratch - September 10 - 2:00 am

  I have the distinction of owning the worst vehicle ever built. Bought this lemon used with 60,000 miles on it. In two years and 65,000 miles, I have replaced the ball joints three times, the tires twice, rebuilt the starter, replaced the transmission, alternator, radio, and water pump. But, hey, the mufflers still good! And all those cheap plastic fittings holding the interior together are shot. I have about fifty individual rattles inside. Depreciation keeps me from selling or trading this in. I am die-hard "Buy American made", but those fools in Detroit are going to force me to buy foreign.
