Review
Horrid vehicle. Extensive problems
since purchase - major mechanical
failures. Sporadically refuses to
start - problem untraceable by
mechanical professionals. Wipers
periodically choose not to work when it
rains. Design a nightmare - remove
whole console and side panel to replace
a broken heater core? You've got to be
kidding. Had Chevy with over 200k
miles with no problems. Nissan the
same. GMC Jimmy a nightmare. Had to
get cell phone for protection due to
it's unreliability. Will never own GMC
product again.

high wind noise, replaced alternator,
both front wheel bearings,radiator
problems, key igntion lock went bad,
seat adjuster handle broke,waterpump
went bad,oil cooler lines leaked and
needed replaced,turn signal electrical
problems...I understand most of these
common on all '98 Jimmys but GM refuses
to re-call. All happened right after
warranty (36,000 mi)

Terrible! Transmission, altenator,
wiper motor, power window motor all
went out. I am very dissapointed in
this vehicle and would not recommend
anyone to buy one.

I've owned this beauty since she was a
baby. Perfect condition and only had
minor problems. Rides smooth and fun
to drive. On Colorado terrain, you
feel safe with its stong 4WD system.

It's five years old and I have had it
for almost three years. Almost $5000
have been spent in repairs and only
$1200 of that was paid by the dealer
(Since I have had it). Bad climate
control (took 30 days to fix), major
transmission work, new front end
suspension, complete brake replacement
with rotors, two alternators, and two
wiper motors. Not to mention the
general repairs and upkeep that comes
along with any vehicle. No more
domestics for me!

I have owned this truck now for 5
years. I am the 1st owner. This truck
has been absolutly flawless. The ownly
thing that has been replaced is the
altenator. It has been to the dealer
for only the altenator and routine
maintanence.

Powerful truck with fair gas mileage. However, if you plan on making repair yourself get a different truck. This thing is impossible to work on. As with a lot of American cars, the equipment is STUFFED in. Took 4 hours to replace a leaking oil line.
Also very querky. Airbag light is on, dealer could not find a problem. Windshield wipers sometimes work other times don't.

Have had some problems with
transmission which would not shift out
properly due to a faulty valve; also
have problems with fuel pump and
electrical system.
