  I luv my Jimmy! - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Trisha - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Bought used 2006..only major problem was the gas tank back in 2008. This year, 2010, was the axle. Its at 190,000 today and just thought I celebrate this milestone and say maybe GMC didnt make MY Jimmy so bad after all.

  1999 GMC JIMMY Owner - 1999 GMC Jimmy
  By unhappy owner - October 22 - 2:00 am

  Not very impressed with it the handle to recline the seat on the drivers side is broke off, smells of antifreeze when the heat is on, cant use drivers side door because it wont stay closed, the rear wiper motor doesnt work, makes a crunching noise when turning, buttons for the 4wd broke, leaks on passenger door when it rains. Doesnt start when its real cold out.

  Good Experience - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By joe - October 4 - 2:00 am

  I liked driving my Jimmy. Great for a low cost SUV. Fuel pump quit reporting fuel levels around 90k miles, and had to replace CV joint around 95k. Unfortunately, to replace the fuel pump, you have to replace the gas tank. Stupid. So I just kept track of mileage between fill-ups. Exterior plastic parts faded. Otherwise, no problems.

  3 transmissions, and 3 fuel pumps - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Kat - September 17 - 2:00 am

  Hi I bought it used. Now have 191,000 and if you throw enough money at something it will keep running, This is the only vehicle I have ever had to have towed 7 times and I have been driving over 40 years. AAA is a must if you drive one of these. The body still looks great. Now there is something major going on with the front end. Afraid to take it to the mechanic. This is the third transmission, one radiator, fuel pump has been replaced 3 times. The starter, brakes and rotors several times. The 4 wheel drive and a/c works perfectly have not had to do anything with either too bad the whole car wasnt like these components.

  Great Vehicle!!!!! - 1991 GMC Jimmy

  Never failed me. of course with it being an old car, the little things died out but since its American they were cheap to replace. Engine and Tranny will just last forever.

  Money pit - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By money pit - August 4 - 7:02 pm

  When I finished making payments on this truck thats when everything started to go wrong. The transmission blew twice Im on my third one same for my alternator, water pump, ball joints and the front end, the fuel pump and the intake manifold had to be replaced twice. Then I had to replace the rear wiper motor and rear door lock, the front wiper motor, the radiator, the spider injectors, the front wheel bearings, the window and lock controls never worked right, the 4x4 actuator has to looked at before the first snow fall because it has failed me many times. Thanks to gmc Ill never never buy an American car! Again

  80,000 miles guaranteed tranny swap - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By dizzle - July 25 - 11:48 am

  My 2001 GMC Jimmy SLE is for the most part a reliable vehicle. Definitely fun in the snow! Heavy 4wd vehicles are though right. Im loyal to this SUV though the worries tell me never to buy another and possibly never another GMC. From a rebuilt transmission, gasket replacement, bearings, and water leaks plus alignments? How should i feel?

  Been a good vehicle - 1999 GMC Jimmy
  By Mitch - July 22 - 4:04 pm

  We traded a big Ford van for our Jimmy and it took us a while to be satisfied, but finally decided we had done a good thing. This Jimmy has given us good service with probably just a little over average repairs. We have put probably 60,000 miles on our Jimmy and am now considering getting another vehicle. Since we can no longer buy a Studebaker, I dont really know what we may get. Everything is so expensive today especially for old folks who are on a broken income.

  What did I do? Oh, I bought a Jimmy! - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By Darrell - May 5 - 6:40 am

  I bought my Jimmy from a friend. As soon as I bought it I had to take it to Florida (about 800 miles one way). I noticed after it got to operating temperature, when the trans would shift it shifted hard. Checked the trans fluid at a rest stop and had to add. After adding the correct amount of fluid it shifted harder in every gear. Then I noticed the big trans leak. After it leaked down enough it shifted fine but dipstick dry. Electrical problems of many kinds. I had to take my critically ill wife to a specialty hospital and it broke down to and from the hospital with her in pain and me at night beside of the road trying to get her home. 2 days 200 miles. Still gives elec problems today any type strange

  good vehicle - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By dave - April 28 - 10:49 am

  Very funny to read comments from those suckers who have been getting ripped off from shady mechanics and blaming GM. 3 waterpumps and you blame GM ? They were garbage aftermarket parts. And ball joints ... get good ones that can be greased and have oil change people lube them -its called maintenence.Your mechanic uses garbage parts and charges you top $ and its GMs fault ??.. get a clue. Yes you have 125,000 miles and need to get repairs - big surprise. Quit getting ripped off, spend the time to find an honest mechanic -many of you sure dont know one. This is a decent , fun 4 wheel dr that goes great through snow. Love mine.
