  Never again! - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By ex-GMCers - December 16 - 1:14 am

  This was the worst choice we ever made! Things replaced: transmission module, overhead compass/temp, ignition switch, turn signal levers, oil cooler lines x3, door hinge pins, heater door, 4x4 buttons and front wheel bearings. Items with issues: transfer case removed d/t shifting fork lever sticking, transmission sun gear out, jack cover falls off constantly and speakers are crap. Depreciation is terrible. Definitely learned something from this purchase. Research, research, research. I wonder why GM is needing a bail out when they built crap like this but, attached a $31,000 price tag? Definitely expected more bang for our buck! If youre mechanically enclined this is a great vehicle to disolve your time on. Looks good on jack stands.

  Its an okay SUV - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By terri - November 20 - 10:21 am

  The front interior is too small needs to be roomier. The gas mileage is terrible. The heater core is going on it and it will take eight and a half hours to fix it and more than $800. Why does it have to be that hard to get at the core. The shocks are terrible and I had to replace the ball joints. I like driving it It has lots of pep I like the looks of it and it has a great heater.

  Security Stinks - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By applered - November 14 - 2:04 pm

  I bought my 2001 Jimmy in July 2007, it was a used Jimmy. It has a good engine has always started but the security systems stinks. We drove the Jimmy a week after we bought it to Georgia. We get to Chatanoga TN and we started having problems with the Jimmy stopping and the security light coming on. We get back to Indiana where we live and the horns start going off and lights flashing in the middle of the night. We stop at a gas station shut the engine off, put in gas, pay for gas, get back in the Jimmy start it up and the security light comes on and we cant move. Now over a year later, the Jimmy runs but only for about 10 minutes and shuts off, wont run. Trading off as soon as I can.

  Expensive to maintain - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By senseiccol - November 14 - 1:30 am

  Ive had to replace the alternator 3 times, the battery 2 times, both of the front ball joints As well as the idle arm have gone out, and the electrical system is junk. The door hinges and pins have gone out. I have also had to replace the fuses a couple of times. It stinks on gas. Nothing lasts very long on this SUV, and as soon as you fix one thing another thing goes out on you. Dont buy a Jimmy! Unless you like spending money on the same thing part again and again.

  This is a lemon, buyer beware and read up - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By dmills77 - November 2 - 10:57 am

  We have had nothing but problems with this car. Buyers need to really review what others are saying as they seem to have all similar issues. 4 wheel drive engages itself as you are driving. Heater issues, wiring issues, the list goes on and on. I will never buy a GMC again. Really do your research! Google the make, year and model and read up on them. I cant believe that some of these things that we are having problems with havent been recalled its obviously issues many are having and over and over again once they are fixed. The worst car we have ever owned!

  Cant Really Complain - 1997 GMC Jimmy
  By firephool - October 3 - 12:49 pm

  Well, my parents bought it new to economize from the Suburban. I took it over my 3rd yr. of college because dad ruined the transmission in my 1993 Dodge Dakota. what can I say 189,000 mi or so and Ive replaced everything on the vehicle once. But she survived very cruel treatment between my first few driving lessons, teen-driving, and off roading for volunteer fire calls. Moneys-worth yes, but not anymore sunk too much into it this last time.

  Buyer beware - 1998 GMC Jimmy
  By BUYER BEWARE - September 26 - 10:45 pm

  Stay away from these trucks! I needed a car for college and found this nice, lady owned, Red 98 SLT with 100,000 miles on it. It was a great looking truck with black leather, and body was in great shape. However, after 7 months I replaced fuel pumps, idler arm, ball joints, 3 wheel bearings, battery, alternator, brakes, heater and more. Pain to work on. Needed more work than I could afford so after six months I sold it. I consider myself lucky because most people I talk to have had 4x4, and trannys go out. I try to buy American but now I know why I see so many late model Jimmys in the junkyard. These are money pits!

  Wouldnt buy again - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By The Jimmy - September 13 - 4:33 pm

  I have had my Jimmy for about 4 years now and I have had some basic problems check engine lights on and no one can figure out why, blew a head gas get. I have been good to it always get oil changed on time. It feels like the car is made of plastic and it makes terrible noises when you drive. I guess all in all it been OK to me. Also terrible gas mileage I dont even want to check and see what it is now with gas $4

  I hate my car - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Phil - September 6 - 6:19 pm

  I have had this vehicle for 2 years now. It has 113,000 miles. Replaced the ball joints 4 times and they need it again after just replacing the fuel pump at $900. I have probably spent at least $4000 on just repairing this vehicle. The 4 wheel drive switch went wacko. Now the brake lights are on and staying on. Fuel economy is rotten. This car has been in a repair garage more than its been in my garage. Ill definitely not buy another GMC product again.

  Love this SUV - 1998 GMC Jimmy
  By love this suv - August 22 - 1:42 am

  Only problem was a fuel pump. 250 dollars and that was at 140,000 miles. I replaced the tires only once in all the years i owned it. Still a smooth ride and a reliable one.
