1995 GMC Jimmy from North America
Summary:
Not sure, I've had worse
Faults:
Replaced radiator, fuel injector, blower motor gone. Stinks not to have heat in the winter.
Radiator hose went, water pump... I think, recently the alternator.
Oh yeah, anyone having trouble with the doors... staying on, any broken hinges, door pins.. I am... BUT NEED HELP AND SUGGESTIONS.
So I'm driving home from work, it's dark, it's late, it's cold... out of nowhere the CHECK GAUGES light comes on. I notice the temp on the car running hot. I pull off the road, luckily by an open pizza place. I have to add water to the coolant reserve (to my surprise - empty) light goes off, I drive a little further and then a stop at a 7/11 for a gallon of water - this time the coolant reserve and radiator get filled. At first I see nothing leaking.
Not too much more down the road, another stop at an open restaurant. Another gallon of water, and now I notice a puddle as I'm pouring and a stream as I'm driving. Not too far and empty again... finally home.. At this time it's coming out as I'm putting it in. Didn't notice a problem with any radiator hoses or the radiator. It seems to be coming from just under the engine. Could it be the water pump or the freeze out plug? Comes out even when the car is off. How much is an estimated repair for either the water pump or freeze out plug? Please help.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
