  Clanker - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Amadeus - June 12 - 9:08 pm

  It looks nice but the fuel economy is bad and the constants check ups makes it no realiable. The heater core failed and I had engine coolant steam inside the cabin and to fork out $$$ to repear. I wish I had not bought it.

  Total Junk - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Run Away - June 12 - 5:13 pm

  This 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.

  fuel pumps stink! - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By cranky - May 23 - 8:10 am

  I have put more into the jimmy then I paid for it. Im surprised I didnt see the fuel pump mentioned more. It has cost me 1200 alone. The ball joints are also a problem but do to roads where I live. I replace them myself to cut cost. I also had electrical problems and replaced the mass air flow sensor 2x. Over all gas mileage good comp to 98 ply voyager mini van. I enjoy driving it when its running and it hasnt left me stranded w/ 3 kids. Also back seat too small for 2 kids w/ car seats.

  Amazing - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By Female Driver - May 14 - 11:54 am

  I cant really complain about this car. I have had issues, but they were the fault of the previous owner (tire went flat, battery wont hold charge). The car itself is amazing. Being a girl, and a little on the small side, this car is nice. It gives me power in the snow and gets me where I need to go, yet isnt so big to the point where Im scared to drive it. Overall Id say this car is nice, very nice.

  James the Jimmy - 1999 GMC Jimmy
  By Anselm - April 27 - 11:48 am

  Ok Ive had a Jimmy for a few months now and i cant say that I havent had my share of problems (Engine Job, Front Ball joints, Intake Gasket, Gas Gauge doesnt work, and a couple missing parts that fell off) since I got it. But this truck has has been quite reliable, it has been through the runs and hell and back in the months that Ive owned it, its been through mudding, High speed driving, and casual driving. I like how it sits higher than most SUVs since it easier to go through deep mud and water and with some larger tires on it theres not many places that my Jimmy cant go.

  Time to unload it - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By redman - April 25 - 11:54 am

  Bought it in 01 with 19000 miles and overall has been a good, dependable ride. Gas mileage is a surprising 23 MPG hwy. Fuel gauge failed, brakes every 20000 miles, and currently having electrical problems(windows, door locks and mirrors quit occassionally). My daughter hit a deer last night so may take insurance settlement and unload it. Will buy another GMC however.

  Very Fun Few Problems - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By acam1 - April 13 - 9:33 pm

  I bought this vehicle in Sept. 2008, and now it is Apr. 2009. It has, so far, been an amazing vehicle. Yes, its had a few problems, but it was just normal wear-and-tear (rusty differential cover, O2 sensors, old block heater line). Overall, this vehicle is good, but not for its city driving. On average, I received about 9 - 12 mpg city, 13 - 16 highway, which is about what the much larger Tahoe/Yukon gets now. Offroad, it is extremely fun. I do prefer the much larger SUVs though, and that was my biggest regret in buying the Jimmy, although this so-called "mid-size" SUV (it is pretty long, actually) has proven to be extremely substantial and capable. Just take care of it and it runs fine!

  GMC SLS Jimmy 4x4 - 1998 GMC Jimmy
  By Edwin Vazquez Jr - March 30 - 3:09 pm

  I purchased this vehicle in NJ and used it for 4 yrs and then moved to Puerto Rico and this vehicle started to give me problems here. The seat level recliner snapped off on both side thats sad but true. The other items i changed on it is the battery, alternator, AC compressor and evaporator, fan belts, brake pads first time after 3 yrs. The ABS light on and Air Bag light drives me crazy but besides that I cant complain the truck has been very good and will continue to purchase GMC trucks. Edwin

  Complete Money Pit - 1998 GMC Jimmy
  By spartan268 - March 25 - 3:30 pm

  My 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.

  2000 jimmy - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By mike - March 9 - 11:39 am

  This is for all jimmy (2000) owners,that have a noise in font that knowone can find. In this model its the condenser/heater core loose in its housing. The gas gauge quits working properly because the fuel in Canada still contains a particular addative that has been removed in the US, where these fuel tank sensor where made,they get corroded in places and fail. Early failer of the front wheel bearings are do to just plain old "bad design" and low quality.
