Used 1997 GMC Jimmy Consumer Reviews
It's been good for me...
I've had this Jimmy over 4 years - bought used at 35K miles now up to 117K. I have had absolutely no problems with it other than normal maintenance. It has been extremely reliable for me, so I was surprised to read other reviews that were so negative. I do agree that the brakes tend to be "mushy" but it was easy to get used to and drives fine.
My Jimmy Stinks!
We have multiple problems with the dex- cool coolant. It turns into clay and ruins the radiator. We have to have it flushed every 3-6 months. We've had 2 major transmission problems. The windshield wipers work only when they feel like it! It sounds like the back window is open at all times. Something is wrong with it every 2-3 months! Do not buy

Amazing
I can't really complain about this car. I have had issues, but they were the fault of the previous owner (tire went flat, battery wont hold charge). The car itself is amazing. Being a girl, and a little on the small side, this car is nice. It gives me power in the snow and gets me where I need to go, yet isn't so big to the point where I'm scared to drive it. Overall I'd say this car is nice, very nice.
Can't Really Complain
Well, my parents bought it new to economize from the Suburban. I took it over my 3rd yr. of college because dad ruined the transmission in my 1993 Dodge Dakota. what can I say 189,000 mi or so and I've replaced everything on the vehicle once. But she survived very cruel treatment between my first few driving lessons, teen-driving, and off roading for volunteer fire calls. Money's-worth yes, but not anymore sunk too much into it this last time.
Must have gotten the good one
have had my Jimmy since 1996, Only problem was shim in the steeering coluum, fixed twice by dealer at no cost, everything runs great, But the mileage is lousy 16 in the city, the ive gotten on the Hwy is 21. Probably would not buy another one, but am retiring this february so ill keep it till it falls apart
