Used 2001 GMC Jimmy Consumer Reviews
Research before you buy I wish I did.
I bought this SUV used out of desperation it was actually going to auction. Silly me should've let it go. This truck has been absolutely nothing but a nightmare. I've replaced the transmission $1800. Drove it home to Michigan from sc and it actually died two blocks away from my in laws driveway. The plastic manifold is a joke it has melted twice with flames destroying gaskets so here goes another $400 in repairs. The driver side window works when it wants to, the gas Gage at 1/4 tank goes move up to 1/2 tank so you really never know how much gas you have in it. Its a money pit and in this economy who needs this! Don't buy this vehicle take it out back and put it out of your misery!
GMC 2000 JIMMY
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN RELIABILITY OF PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER WARRANTEE IS UP DEALER NOW TELLS YOU THIS SHOULD BE DONE, THAT SHOULD BE DONE, AND OH BY THE WAY ALL THE WHEEL BEARINGS NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 45,000 MILES THIS VEHICLE IS FALLING APART. THIS IS AFTER IS HAS BEEN FAITHFULLY SERVICED AT AT GMC DEALERSHIP SINCE BOUGHT THERE AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY A FEMALE THAT DOES NOT ABUSE VEHICLES.

Fun and Nice to Look at but a Black Hole
I like the GMC Jimmy just fine. I am am not big on fixing my own cars personaly though but I love fun & tough cars and SUVs. The GMC Jimmy is tough and reliable to a point. Yes basic maintenance is required most definitly but wear and tear and a bit of cheap parts make that go a little more quickly than one can keep up with. Money is definitely needed to own this car because big items do go on it and sometimes all at once.
Stands the test of time
I've owned this vehicle for a little over 2 years, and it's still a great family vehicle. It has all the features you'd ever want, and the build quality is excellent. It rides well and handles well in all weather conditions. In all, an excellent vehicle.
Never again!
This was the worst choice we ever made! Things replaced: transmission module, overhead compass/temp, ignition switch, turn signal levers, oil cooler lines x3, door hinge pins, heater door, 4x4 buttons and front wheel bearings. Items with issues: transfer case removed d/t shifting fork lever sticking, transmission sun gear out, jack cover falls off constantly and speakers are crap. Depreciation is terrible. Definitely learned something from this purchase. Research, research, research. I wonder why GM is needing a bail out when they built crap like this but, attached a $31,000 price tag? Definitely expected more bang for our buck! If you're mechanically enclined this is a great vehicle to disolve your time on. Looks good on jack stands.
