Used 1997 GMC Jimmy Consumer Reviews
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
Jimmy Slt 97
Great car we love it. Just bought new tires. Serviced regularly. Fully loaded, gorgeous body, charcoal interior. Third baby on the way forces sale.

IT'S A DUD
THIS VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH USED, SHOULD HAVE BEEN EASILY TAKEN THRU TO 2005 WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEMS; I'VE HAD THREE RECALL NOTICES ABOUT CERTAIN PARTS OF THE VEHICLE AND IT'S BEEN A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT; I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A SUPPORTER OF GM VEHICLES, BUT THIS HAS REALLY SOURED ME ON GM PRODUCTS; I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN; THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALSO A DISAPPOINTMENT AND TREATED ME WITH DISRESPECT.
Good Experience
I liked driving my Jimmy. Great for a low cost SUV. Fuel pump quit reporting fuel levels around 90k miles, and had to replace CV joint around 95k. Unfortunately, to replace the fuel pump, you have to replace the gas tank. Stupid. So I just kept track of mileage between fill-ups. Exterior plastic parts faded. Otherwise, no problems.
Professional Engineering My Foot
Absolutely the worst car I have ever owned. I have replaced transmisson, brake booster,altenator,master cylinder,A/C compressor,rear sway bar parts,front sway bar parts,radio,several plastic parts, rear main seal, still doesn't stop well brakes very mushie. Just a poorly built car most unreliable for the mileage driven. Envoy can't be much better. Would never buy another GMC SUV.
