Faults:

Battery went at about 20,000 miles.

Rear windshield wiper motor went about 25,000 miles. I have had to replace the whole front end, ball joints, bearings. I had constant belt whines.

All door hinges started rusting immediately. Constant noises in the doors which they finally fixed under warranty.

It's impossible to get the vehicle lined up properly.

I purchased it new and paid quite a bit. All my miles are highway miles.

Also had a problem with transmission fluid leaking out of it all over the garage floor.

Now I just ignore the noises. I had 850 worth of repairs last week. Guess what, the vehicle died today on the road. They think it's the fuel pump. Although this is the first time it's left me stranded, I am never going to buy an GMC again.

I'm looking into buying a Toyota 4Runner or Honda Pilot.

I have an Acura integra with 140,000 miles on it that's seen less days in the repair shop and still runs like a top.

Please think twice about buying a GMC Jimmy.

The only thing I like about it is the heated leather seats. They have not failed -- yet.

Faults:

Head Gasket blew at 90,000km.

Two weeks later it is back in the shop for bent valves (this time not covered under warranty).

Multi-function switch replaced.

Thermostat replaced.

Water pump replaced.

O/2 sensor replaced.

Rad cap and rad hose replaced.

Truck has been towed 4 times in just over one year.

Finally the whole engine blew.

Oil leaking into coolant system.

Chunks of metal found in the oil.

General Comments:

This has been the worst mistake of my life and I will never purchase from GM again.

I have had to drive rentals, buses, and was stranded out of town and had to take a train.

Can't get the book value for the vehicle and have already spent $3000.00 of my own money in repairs - and I have a warranty!!!

Faults:

After one week of purchase the transmission had to be replaced within two weeks of receiving my Jimmy back the same problem of before started again, all dash lights would come on, loose power, dealership said it was in the wiring, so back to the shop it went to have a wiring problem traced.

At 53,000 miles started making a loud noise Torque converter and drive shaft was loose from having transmission replaced, whoops forgot to tighten bolts. Back to shop.

Two weeks later drive shaft was falling out I took it to a private mechanic to have it fixed. $1152.00 of my money.

Starting in April of 2002, replaced window wiper gear approximately $250.00, battery, electronic starter $475.00, and the thermostat.

So far this year starting January of 2003 I have replaced all ball joints over $200.00 and now there is something making a loud squeak when you start pressing on the gas pedal that is sticking and of course the brakes squeak all the time.

Did I mention I have bought a full set of tires and the front two had to be replaced after 1,800 miles?

General Comments:

Love the way it handles.

Looks sharp on the road when drivable.

Gotta keep the body looking good because I owe more on it than the book value.
