The only major problems I have experienced with the Jimmy has been electrical - had to replace ignition switch which caused "CHECK ENGINE" light to stay on and the transmission to shift erratic. I also had an over heating problem that required me to replace the Radiator pluseI had a minor transmission leak where the shift lever enters the transmission body.

All front 4x4 components replaced prior to 36,000 miles due to loud roar from differential & axles (thankfully under factory warranty). Test drove an identical Jimmy that had the same front 4x4 problems (yet GMC states that it is not a widespread problem with the model). Alternator replaced at 55,000. Transmission rebuilt at 63,000 - 7 electronic components and 3 major gear components failed (I do no heavy towing). 4x4 switch failed prior to 40,000. Impossible to keep front end aligned which results in expensive reallignments and premature tire wear.

I don't know where to start complaining about this worthless piece of garbage! Rear wiper only worked for a short period of time before burning out, door hinges squeak even after lubricating. Transmission has gone once and have had it back twice for more repairs and is leaking yet again! Will not pass emissions test even though I have dumped tons of money into it. Brakes stink and it stinks even worse in the snow. Very poor handling. Water leaks into this thing and my feet are constantly soaked. Sound system works sometimes, but not always. My brother has major problems with his too, from the transmission going to everything else I have described. I wish I had my Dodge back!!!!!
