This is for all jimmy (2000) owners,that have a noise in font that knowone can find. In this model it's the condenser/heater core loose in it's housing. The gas gauge quits working properly because the fuel in Canada still contains a particular addative that has been removed in the US, where these fuel tank sensor where made,they get corroded in places and fail. Early failer of the front wheel bearings are do to just plain old "bad design" and low quality.

So I got this 2000 GMC Jimmy at 165,000 miles, now it has 172,000 miles and it a complete money pit, but a life saver. I have spent $3500 in repairs in the last 6 months. I've taken it to three different mechanics and technicians.Every single part on my brake is brand new, and the ABS light is still on. I can't afford to keep it anymore, so this is a good car if you are a mechanic or have a mechanic who knows who he is doing. BUT this has saved me through the winter. With All-Season tires it plowed through 2 feet of snow and 2 inches of ice. No weather condition stopped me, and I was incredibly thankful. (Maine Winter of 2014-2015)

Great power and utility, fair gas mileage, comfortable seats, bumpy ride. I loved this vehicle at first until the problems started. By the time 35000 miles hit I bought an extended warranty which paid for itself. MANY transmission problems. One of which would toss vehicle occupants around when switching gears, intermittant, dealer could not duplicate on 10 seperate visits.

Starting at 20000 miles, my 2000 Jimmy has had nothing but problems: front wheel bearings, both sides ($450 but GMC covered this even though I was out of warrenty for one of them because this vehicle has had so many problems), ignition switch, front and rear pinion seals TWICE recurrent problem every 18000 miles or so), electrical problems. Now my brakes are making a strange creaking and groaning noise if applied with any force. Here I paid $28000 two years ago for a truck that is now worth only $12000 trade in and I cannot with good conscience sell it to a private buyer without revealing all the problems, then who in their right mind would buy it!

Bought this used. Had a 1995 Villager that need some money be put into it so figured would be better off with a newer vehicle. Well I was wrong. In the year since I have purchased this I have spent more money in repairs then I would have had to do to the Villager. Plus now a monthly payment. Fuel pump, hubs both sides, passenger needs it done again. Ball joints, brakes done right before I bought, needs COMPLETE brake job again. It's nice looking and good in the snow but that's about it. Dont buy. They are horrible.

When I finished making payments on this truck thats when everything started to go wrong. The transmission blew twice I'm on my third one same for my alternator, water pump, ball joints and the front end, the fuel pump and the intake manifold had to be replaced twice. Then I had to replace the rear wiper motor and rear door lock, the front wiper motor, the radiator, the spider injectors, the front wheel bearings, the window and lock controls never worked right, the 4x4 actuator has to looked at before the first snow fall because it has failed me many times. Thanks to gmc I'll never never buy an American car! Again

Bought it in 2001 with 64K. Now has 311K. Wheel bearings replaced twice. Ball joints and front end done. Head gasket blew at 100K. Brakes yearly. Fuel pump. Major valve job. Alternators every 18 months. New battery every 3 years. Fantastic to drive, (live in Western Canada) Horrible to maintain. The double edged is that it does what it's supposed to but at high maintenance. Rear wiper motor is absolute rubbish. Shocks are on their way out. Put the best tyres you can afford on it and it stays on the road in the worst conditions. Gas mileage leaves something to be desired.

Well thank goodness Ive only a few months left with this vehicle. This vehicle from the begining had problems. Starting with the recurring brake problems(ABS), to electrical problems. The ignition went out after a year. The serpentine belt went out. Headlights mysteriously went out while driving home one night. The past 5 months have been pretty uneventful fortunately. I still wont have peace of mind until I get a new car. And of course it wont be a GM car. Bad experience overall.

Engine and transmission very good. It's all the little stuff that breaks. It will keep running but could nickle and dime you to death. Runs fine at 228,000 miles.

Bought the vehicle used for work. Gotta love those GM engineers! $800.00 for wheel bearing replacements every 30,000?!!!? Shoulda read up on the Edmunds Forum! Otherwise so-so performance. 4WD works well. Tight fit for a big guy. Milage for this type of vehicle is not too bad. Avg. 16 if I don't use the 4WD. I bought this based on my excellent experience with a 1999 Silverado, but I don't think I'll buy another Jimmy.

Bought it in 01 with 19000 miles and overall has been a good, dependable ride. Gas mileage is a surprising 23 MPG hwy. Fuel gauge failed, brakes every 20000 miles, and currently having electrical problems(windows, door locks and mirrors quit occassionally). My daughter hit a deer last night so may take insurance settlement and unload it. Will buy another GMC however.

I bought this car with 21k miles on it and from day one it has been hell. I had to repalce the fuel pump 2 times, the alternator, the ball joints on all tires, the driver and passenger door hinges, the catalytic converter, the muffler, all 3 oxygen sensors, the moonroof motor, shocks, the driver side window motor. Let's not forget to mention that I have to replace brakes every year and the fact that my fuel light comes on at about 170-180 miles on a fulltank of gas. Stay away from this truck. It is fun to drive, but it will always be in the repair shop.

I bought this Jimmy used with only 26000 miles & was in for repair several times. The brake/tail lights failed, weatherstripping popping off, driver door hinge had to be repaired, passenger side ball joint replaced, reverse lights stayed on through all gears & a switch had to be replaced a week after getting it back from the shop. The transmission failed & had to be rebuilt at about 41K miles. The dealer seemed to do everything right the first time & I only had to pay for one repair. They paid for the transmission even though it was out of warranty. I just can't keep a car I never get to drive. This is my first & last GMC.

Problems have included; a squeaky clutch, leaking rear wiper hose, small hole in body, heat is always on, frozen emergency brake line, poor gas mileage. All probems fixed except the heat always on and the poor gas mileage. I've owned 2 other Jimmy/Blazer types, 1986 and 1994. Both older ones were better on fuel, 26 to 28 mpg, and no problems with heat. The 2000 gets 22 to 24 mpg with the 5 speed (clunky shifting)standard transmission. Make the centre drivers side spark plug easier to change and angle the grease nipples for easier access on the tie rods. An average vehicle with an average price. You get what you pay for.
Average in all regards

Got my 2000 Jimmy when it had 32,000 miles. Overall, I've liked it, although it's been about average in all regards. Had to do little maintenance repairs pretty frequently ($100 here, $70 there), and "major" repairs have included front rotor and fuel pump, which hurt the pocketbook. Also own a Toyota, which has more miles on it but has required fewer repairs, which doesn't build confidence in the Jimmy. Like the engine for a V6 and the vehicle is fun to drive. Interior is average, back seats not too comfortable for full-sized person. Lots of room with rear seats folded down.
Pretty Good SUV! SLS, 2dr, 2w dr.

The main issue I have with the SUV are the blind spots, very hard to see people coming up beside you, in parking lots, etc., you really have to turn your head, because I don't trust the mirrors, all the time, esp. in heavy traffic, when driving. I had a problem with the radiator early on, because GMC told customers to put the wrong antifreeze in it, after pouring stop leak in for yrs & replacing coolant way too much, I finally replaced the radiator in 2012. It does go through alternator's, fairly quick, over 20yrs, I've replaced the alternator 3x's. I also replaced the fuel pump in 2013, the drivers side motor for the electric window, & once the orginal distributor cap goes(mine lasted for at least 12yrs), you will have to replace it about every yr, but I got one from Autozone, priced around $50, cap & rotor, w/ a lifetime warranty & they replaced it for free. Everything else has been basic repairs for its age. I do think for a $20,000+ SUV, the interior could've been built a little better. I have really made the effort to take care of the interior, replaced sm. broken pieces or had them repaired, so it doesn't look like its 20yrs old! This truck has only left me stranded 1 time & it was my fault for not having it looked at when the alternator started to go the 1st time. I can't say that about many cars, esp. at this age!

Loved it until last week. With only 32,ooo miles on it the engine seized up. It will cost almost $4,000 to replace the engine. Don't know why this happened. Oil was changed as recommended and vehicle was not mistreated in any way. It was running fine before and then just died in the middle of traffic. Of course the warranty has expired so there's not much I can do but fix it. I'm not happy and will probably not buy another GMC. I could understand this happening if this vehicle had 75,000 miles on it or was over an older model and not taken care of. WHAT'S UP GMC?
Long Term GM owner, Love/ Hate the GMC Jimmy.

I've owned this 1998 GMC Jimmy since 2003. I am a Mechanic, Machinist, tradesman and I perform all of my own maintenance. As of 2016 I have replaced; Rear Brakes nearly every year, Rear caliper slides tend too seize and cook the pads, Fronts OK. All Rubber hoses and some steels on brakes. Parking brake cables replaced 2008. Two Right hand Wheel Hub Assy, every 50,000. Two alternators, 4 batteries since 2003. 1 Radiator, Oil cooler lines. AC Compressor/ Drier. Rebuilt the injector Spider Assy. fuel pressure Regulator , intake manifold gaskets. Timing chain at 130.000 and water pump pulleys and belt tensioner, belt. Replaced all Differential bearings due to bad pinion Growling sound at75,000mi. Fuel Pump + filter, 100,000mi. I haven't included regular maintenance, Oil changes, Spark plugs, Cap / Rotor,Wires. This Truck is driven daily, It now has over 170,000mi and going strong. Oil pressure is low now due to worn bearings/pump. No Rust yet. I need something bigger.

I have put well over $8000 in repairs to this vehicle. It is a very sharp SUV that was poorly designed. I have replaced ball joints and well bearing hub assemblys multiple times. A small fortune was spent to fix a secondary air induction pump. I would recommend everyone to stay away from purchasing this vehicle. I am not the only one that has these problems, everyone I know with one has the same problems to some extent.

I bought this vehicle in Sept. 2008, and now it is Apr. 2009. It has, so far, been an amazing vehicle. Yes, it's had a few problems, but it was just normal wear-and-tear (rusty differential cover, O2 sensors, old block heater line). Overall, this vehicle is good, but not for its city driving. On average, I received about 9 - 12 mpg city, 13 - 16 highway, which is about what the much larger Tahoe/Yukon gets now. Offroad, it is extremely fun. I do prefer the much larger SUVs though, and that was my biggest regret in buying the Jimmy, although this so-called "mid-size" SUV (it is pretty long, actually) has proven to be extremely substantial and capable. Just take care of it and it runs fine!

What a piece of %^&*( this vehicle has been. The first six months we owned it, it was in the shop for 8 weeks total because of nagging problems with the anti theft system locking up and making the engine shut dow or not start at all. Loads of rattles, brake noise and squeeks. Plus the infamous "vortec" engine sounds worse than a John Deere tractor...lots of metalic thrashing when under acceleration.
good car if taken care of

A great SUV! I bought it 2 years ago, and never had a major problem with it. I drive it a lot. It now has 87,000 miles on it and it still runs great. The only things that have gone wrong are the back window had to be replaced (seal was broken) and I just had to replace the battery. The drivers door sqeaks a little and I wish the fuel tank was bigger. All in all, it's been a great running, comfortable vehicle for me and my family.

This SUV has only left me stranded when the alternator went out. I bought a new one 100$. The pitman arm was bad and caused swaying all over the road and unresponsive steering replaced it and it was all fixed. I am now at 102,000 miles and have had no other problems. I have maintained it myself per gm suggestions and it still runs like new no smoke or anything, I get 25mpg on premium when light on the throttle. Not much bad I can say about the vehicle. just maintain them and they'll run a long time. It has got me through 6 winters some snow ice and mud and a bunch of hills.

This SUV has been nothing short of a horror story for me. Quickly running down the problems/repairs: wheel bearings (too many to acurrately remember), rear wiper motor, fuel pump,defective gas guage, ball joints, turn signal defect, blown both front speakers, handle to raise/lower seat back broke off, horrible accelleration/power, and very low heat that keeps recurring even after I get the heater core flushed. The car rides so horribly that it feels as if the wheels are going to fall off. I bought the truck w/ 22000 miles and it's been a nightmare since day one. Do not ... I repeat Do Not buy this SUV!! Ask any mechanic .. these things are notorious for all the problems I've listed and more

I purchased my Jimmy brand new, and have enjoyed it so far. The leather seats are super comfortable, and it has a good ride. So far, most things have worked. The defects I've experienced are the battery and the turn signal switch. The factory battery was defective, and to make a long story short, I'm on my third battery!! Acid leaked out of the other two. I can't really blame Jimmy for that... After 91,000 miles, my turn signal switch has gone out (I think) there is a blinking noise eventhough the blinkers aren't on.

I bought this SUV as my first vehicle with 123,000 mile on it and the only thing to ever go bad was the heater core. The part was only 50 bucks. I installed myself to save money. The 4x4 feature is awesome. Auto 4x4. Great.

The front interior is too small needs to be roomier. The gas mileage is terrible. The heater core is going on it and it will take eight and a half hours to fix it and more than $800. Why does it have to be that hard to get at the core. The shocks are terrible and I had to replace the ball joints. I like driving it It has lots of pep I like the looks of it and it has a great heater.

Eight trips to the dealership for repeated repairs including wheel bearings, pinion seals, electrical, ignition switch, brakes, the list is endless. Finally took a beating and traded it in (with 3 more problems) for a Honda CRV and what a world of difference. I am sorry I every bought the Jimmy (an expensive lesson). Very poor quality.

I love the handling in snow and ice, the reliability starting in heat and freezing temperatures. Very responsive handling, good cargo room. I wish the gas mileage was better. This vehicle has a small gas tank just like the Chevy Blazer, and Chevy Trailblazer. This product needs better gas mileage and a larger tank or a hybrid design.

I bought this truck with 70,000 miles on it already about 3 years ago. I have not had any major problems at all with it since I've owned it, and it's now over 100,000. The only thing so far has been the audible turn signal thing is broken so it clicks even when you don't have the signal on - I've gotten used to it and barely notice it anymore, so I haven't bothered to get it fixed. I like the ease of switching to 4x4. I don't think it handles as well as the Jimmy's previous body style in 2W or 4,but is less bumpy. (I had a 94 Jimmy prior to this one.) I think it's very comfortable and like the power driver seat although passengers don't like the 'lump' in the floor.

The first year we bought this vehicle, we had no problems. Then it all happened. It only has 95000 kms now and was bought with 75000 kms. There is a knocking noise that happens intermittently that no one knows what it is, the brakes and rotors have been replaced, wheel bearings, the gas gauge hasn't worked for 3 years, the seat handle snapped off, the power window switch on driver side doesn't work, front speakers have blown for no reason oh and we get 200 km's a tank! This is a piece of junk and i would never buy one or any GMC again!

We have had nothing but problems with this car. Buyers need to really review what others are saying as they seem to have all similar issues. 4 wheel drive engages itself as you are driving. Heater issues, wiring issues, the list goes on and on. I will never buy a GMC again. Really do your research! Google the make, year and model and read up on them. I can't believe that some of these things that we are having problems with haven't been recalled its obviously issues many are having and over and over again once they are fixed. The worst car we have ever owned!

I love mine, it's problem-free (so far [knock on wood]) and is fun to drive. Would've liked to have the 4wd, but oh well, such is life. I didn't see paying the extra $$$ for it when I probably wouldn't use it for anything practical. It's still a great 2dr SUV. I test drove several others out there before buying. This one made me want to purchase right there (which I did).
iIs this a nightmare or not?

I purchased this vehicle with 33,842 miles. At 36,597 the intake manifold valve had to be replaced. At 52,181 the ABS pump and master cylinder had to be replaced. The driver's back seat rest handle broke off and the mileage is horrible. It also is the noisiest vehicle I have ever driven. In essence, I have only driven this car 18,339 miles in 4 years (purchased in 2002). After reading the article in the Detroit Free Press, dated May 23, 2006, re: Dex-Cool, what might happen next??? I also got a printout of previous repairs and it's 2 pages long. Ford Fusion here I come! I have been a GM customer for 40 years and have always had problems. I'm DONE.

I bought my Jimmy 7 years ago with 87k miles on it. Now it has 204k & has lasted pretty well. I'd buy another one, but i'm really curious to how this "fuel efficient" life could be... My mechanic says wow the engine is built so strong. This last year was by far the worst, everything my diagnostic a few years ago told me would go wrong: did. But what do u expect? Main repeat issues: both doors kept breaking hinges. Both seat adjust handles were broken off from the time I bought it & it's an impossible to fix, so no reclining my seats for 7 years. Heater stopped working 2 years ago (expensive fix to lift engine & change a $5 part). Engine light always on due to fuel cap being loose.

I leases this SUV new in 2000. All I can say is it spark knox, every piece of cheap plastic inside rattles, the tailgate release broke, the steering makes a popping snap sound, the handle to recline the front seat snapped off. I only have 13,000 miles and I should of kept my 7 year old Explorer.
I Love My Jimmy

The SUV is very reliable. All the parts are cheap. The SUV has 128,000 miles on it and the transmission hasn't shown any wear. The engine was build to last and no leaks or smoke out the exhaust. It doesnt fall apart like the Blazer.
