  • lemon - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    Replaced ball joints twice, ignition switch, oil cooler lines, drivers side door window actuator, brakes every year, broken gas gauge, blown speakers, overheating problem with a/c, transmission at 60k, squeak problem from front end, door hinges, if this thing was worth anything I would drive it off a Cliff and collect the insurance. I want my money back. Also who let this off the engineers proof w/ out further inspection.

  • Piece of Junk - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    The first year we bought this vehicle, we had no problems. Then it all happened. It only has 95000 kms now and was bought with 75000 kms. There is a knocking noise that happens intermittently that no one knows what it is, the brakes and rotors have been replaced, wheel bearings, the gas gauge hasnt worked for 3 years, the seat handle snapped off, the power window switch on driver side doesnt work, front speakers have blown for no reason oh and we get 200 kms a tank! This is a piece of junk and i would never buy one or any GMC again!

  • This is a lemon, buyer beware and read up - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    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!

  • Horrible, Horrible SUV - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    This SUV has been nothing short of a horror story for me. Quickly running down the problems/repairs: wheel bearings (too many to acurrately remember), rear wiper motor, fuel pump,defective gas guage, ball joints, turn signal defect, blown both front speakers, handle to raise/lower seat back broke off, horrible accelleration/power, and very low heat that keeps recurring even after I get the heater core flushed. The car rides so horribly that it feels as if the wheels are going to fall off. I bought the truck w/ 22000 miles and its been a nightmare since day one. Do not ... I repeat Do Not buy this SUV!! Ask any mechanic .. these things are notorious for all the problems Ive listed and more

  • Nightmare Finally Over - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    I finally unloaded my Jimmy. Took a big loss with trade-in. SUV was the biggest money pit I have ever owned. Performance through first three years was good, but as soon as the warranty expired, bang, the problems occured. GMC had to know this car was substandard by only offering the 3/36 warranty. Wheel bearings/ball joints went at 60k-dealer told me I was lucky, as he had seen them "as early as 14k." That was $1300. Other problems: drivers door joint fell apart/replaced rear window hatch rusted/replaced alt. replaced, etc. I maintained this car meticulously with no off-road. Much of the miles were highway. Reading other similar ownership reviews leads me to believe this car is a lemon!

    Replaced 4 sets of wheel bearings to date. Ride is terrible on gravel and bumpy roads.

  • FIRST & LAST GMC - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    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 -

    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.

  • not the best suv - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    This vehicle was a pain from the beginning, secondday we had to get the antenna wire re-connected to get FM. Weve had problems with the wheel bearings and $800 later it still makes a noise. The windshield wipers froze one day and they started crash into eachother and Im afraid to drive in the rain now. Sometimes when control is in off position they stay up. Rear windshield wiper doesnt always work. Rattles come from everywhere with all the cheap plastic. The suspension creaks. The plastic panels in the back fall off for no reason other than the little fasteners dont hold. It has a rocky and unconfortable ride, and backseat is small.

  • Rattle Box - 2000 GMC Jimmy
    By -

    I leases this SUV new in 2000. All I can say is it spark knox, every piece of cheap plastic inside rattles, the tailgate release broke, the steering makes a popping snap sound, the handle to recline the front seat snapped off. I only have 13,000 miles and I should of kept my 7 year old Explorer.
