  Last GM Ever - 1999 GMC Jimmy
  By No More GM - June 4 - 2:00 am

  Many Problems. Began new with a noise that sounds like spark knock. Turned out to be the exhaust system. Many complaints later, GMC says: That model with that emission package makes that noise. If we ever find a fix, well call you. Have replaced 3 front wheel bearing assemblies, oil cooler hoses, ball joints. Also had a 95 Jimmy and 92 Olds Achieva. Both junk. GM - 3 strikes, youre out.

  I like my Jimmy - 1995 GMC Jimmy
  By Betsy - May 21 - 2:00 am

  Its a 4dr, 2wd, SL SUV. Bought this SUV in 96 iwth 30K on it. Now have 225K on it. Rides rough on long trips (slight frontend shimmy) and otherwise I cant say anything bad about it. In all those miles, with very few exceptions, I get in start it up and drive. Handles well in traffic, handles well on forestry service roads. Never dreamed it would last this long and still going strong.

  I would buy another one tomorrow - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By mtjhiggs - May 16 - 2:00 am

  This truck is exactly what I expected. The people who are complaining about it, obviously bought the wrong vehicle. This vehicle is the perfect mid-size SUV. Performance, ride, gas mileage, and quality are exactly as expected with this vehicle. The selling/ servicing dealer can make all of the difference.If buying one, definately go for the DiamondEdition interior. The comfort is well worth the extra money. Only problems have been, 4x4 switch went bad and fog light had water leaking into it.

  Buy Toyota - 1996 GMC Jimmy
  By APL - May 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car from a GMC dealer with extended warranty. the dealer sucked. They refused to change any parts. So I took the vehicle to a private garage. Within the first year I had to have the ABS brake sytem replaced, the fuel gauge replaced then the ball joints started to go. At 114000 miles I had to have the intake gasket replaced, the mechanic said hes never seen a gasket deteriate like this before. I used to buy toyotas and I decided to try GMC my next SUV will be a toyota again.

  Underrated American SUV - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Steve Sherrod - May 10 - 2:00 am

  Four wheel drive with the touch of a button. Comfortable cloth power seats, great moonroof, Bose stereo, and gas milage is good-- I average 18 mpg in city traffic and much better on highway. Complete instruments on dash are eash to read. Cruise control is straightforward. Dealer service was quick (overnight) with free rental car for minor recall and one leaking seal.

  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.

  Good little truck - 1994 GMC Jimmy
  By BuffDriver - April 8 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my 1994 GMC Jimmy SLS from September of 1998 through May of 2003 and it has been an extremely reliable, powerful little SUV. Ive only had to do routine maintenance and the replacement of the instrument panel. I recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  1998 GMC Jimmy - 1998 GMC Jimmy
  By HarP - April 5 - 2:00 am

  Powerful truck with fair gas mileage. However, if you plan on making repair yourself get a different truck. This thing is impossible to work on. As with a lot of American cars, the equipment is STUFFED in. Took 4 hours to replace a leaking oil line. Also very querky. Airbag light is on, dealer could not find a problem. Windshield wipers sometimes work other times dont.
