  JIMMMYY! - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By ahusson - June 8 - 9:44 am

  So I got this 2000 GMC Jimmy at 165,000 miles, now it has 172,000 miles and it a complete money pit, but a life saver. I have spent $3500 in repairs in the last 6 months. Ive taken it to three different mechanics and technicians.Every single part on my brake is brand new, and the ABS light is still on. I cant afford to keep it anymore, so this is a good car if you are a mechanic or have a mechanic who knows who he is doing. BUT this has saved me through the winter. With All-Season tires it plowed through 2 feet of snow and 2 inches of ice. No weather condition stopped me, and I was incredibly thankful. (Maine Winter of 2014-2015)

  204k miles & running - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By ztucker - October 4 - 11:08 pm

  I bought my Jimmy 7 years ago with 87k miles on it. Now it has 204k & has lasted pretty well. Id buy another one, but im really curious to how this "fuel efficient" life could be... My mechanic says wow the engine is built so strong. This last year was by far the worst, everything my diagnostic a few years ago told me would go wrong: did. But what do u expect? Main repeat issues: both doors kept breaking hinges. Both seat adjust handles were broken off from the time I bought it & its an impossible to fix, so no reclining my seats for 7 years. Heater stopped working 2 years ago (expensive fix to lift engine & change a $5 part). Engine light always on due to fuel cap being loose.

  GMC - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By gtsxtt - January 10 - 1:43 am

  This SUV has only left me stranded when the alternator went out. I bought a new one 100$. The pitman arm was bad and caused swaying all over the road and unresponsive steering replaced it and it was all fixed. I am now at 102,000 miles and have had no other problems. I have maintained it myself per gm suggestions and it still runs like new no smoke or anything, I get 25mpg on premium when light on the throttle. Not much bad I can say about the vehicle. just maintain them and theyll run a long time. It has got me through 6 winters some snow ice and mud and a bunch of hills.

  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.

  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.

  My James - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By judi - June 15 - 7:02 pm

  I love my SUV, have always loved sitting up a little higher than in a low sedan style. I bought this one used with 52000 m. on it. Had some trouble with electrical. Hubby thinks it went thru Katrina flood but I dont! It has suddenly quit after on a couple instances of long trips-always during hot season- just all electrical quit, had to call AAA once--another time just waited side of the road 1 or 2 minutes, and it started right up and ran ok. Seemed like when it heated up, air running, etc. it happened. No one could ever explain or figure out the problem. So, consequestly, I do not have the confidence I should have in this particular Jimmy. Always loved them before.

  The SUV is pretty good! Some things have gone bad on it like the ball joints and the catalytic converter is going bad right now but overall it is a good SUV!

  Worst SUV ever - 2000 GMC Jimmy
  By Wyn - April 11 - 10:17 am

  This SUV was bought brand new. Not a month into driving it had to have the ball joints done. The problems just kept going from there. In total, the ball joints have been replaced 8 times. The master cylinder has been replaced 5 times. Brakes every year and rotors almost every time the brakes get done. Gas gauge sensor had to be fixed. ABS module is broken. Heater core is broken. Shocks need to be done almost every year. Multifunction switch had to be replaced. New battery about once a year. 4x4 gets stuck. There are so many things that need to be done, I dont think Ive listed nearly all of the problems. I used to think that this Jimmy just happened to be a lemon but now I know better.
