2000 GMC Jimmy SLE from North America
Summary:
GM did not put this car together very well
Faults:
I drove this car from South Dakota to California, it was fine.
So far I have had to replace all the rotors.
Next I replaced the shocks, along with the radiator hose.
The next weekend I was back in the shop, my check engine light came on. 2 of the 4 O2 sensors went bad. Costly fix. It ran fine for 1 day and my check engine light came on again. I believe it's the other 2 sensors.
I bought this from my friend for 1200 dollars. I thought I was getting a good deal. Wrong, he babies his cars, but spent 1300 dollars in repairs himself.
So far I have spent close to 4000 dollars on repairs in the 3 weeks since being in California. I love the car, but it is a giant money pit.
I should have gotten rid of it earlier, only had it for a month. Very costly vehicle to maintain. I will never buy another GM product again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I purchase my 2001 Jimmy in September 2000 and still have it despite the problems. It has and always has had a highway shimmy. I have replaced tires, wheels aligned, balanced and rear end spider gears? Just too short of a wheel base. I have 213000 and still drive it today. Mine is a two door sport model. Back seat never used. Black five speed, V6 still gets it. Gas gauge is all over the place. I use the trip odometer, but has been overall reliable.
