  • Piece of Tin - 1997 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    While I enjoy sitting higher in a vehicle and having 4 wheel drive capability, this vehicle has been a disappointment. From riding like a lumber wagon, getting 17 mpg, road noise, no tire traction whatsoever (read: white knuckling it on ice/snow and Im from Minnesota and know how to drive) to the fuel gauge/thermomemter/CD player, etc., crapping out, I wouldnt buy a GMC again.

    we bought this car 1997 gmc jimmy in 2001, after a year having it the wiper motor broke down. we received the recall letter after we had it fixed. afterward, passenger door bolts broke down, then something about the break system, then fuel pump broke down followed with electricity that make the car starts. the car is only 7 years old and it all had the symptoms of a 15 year old car or worst. would never buy anymore gmc. it sucks, terrible, terrible car.

  • Dont Buy a GMC Jimmy - 1997 GMC Jimmy

    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.
