2000 GMC Jimmy SLE 4.3 V6 from North America
Summary:
Not so bad if you like to do repairs
Faults:
Some of the things that have gone wrong so far.
Fuel pump at 105,000 miles, replaced myself for 250.00.
Injectors at 110,000 miles repaired myself for 225.00.
Heater wasn't working, heater core cleaned out for 100.00.
Turn signal noise constantly goes off.
Vehicle shutters badly at high speeds.
I think the radiator is going to pop soon. Cat is starting to go too.
General Comments:
I like the interior of this car and it is good for long trips, but believe that it is poorly engineered. I think that as long as you properly maintain the car, you shouldn't have as many problems, minus the wheel bearings that everyone else has had to replace.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone. I was lucky being a mechanic and was able to do my own repairs.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The drive train on these is OK, but you are right about the rattles; oh my, they are terrible enough that I sold it after 6 months and bought a Nissan Pathfinder.
