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.

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.

Worst buy

2001 GMC Jimmy SLS 4WD 2dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 5M)

Worst purchase I've ever made. Never better than 12 MPG on highway. Very little support from untrustworthy dealership. Required front ball joints at 60,000 miles because "southern hospital" mechanics failed to lubricate chassi properly and dealership refused to fix. No room in vehicle back seats. Have back seat belts for three, can only fit 2 people. Transmission gone at 140,000. NEVER ANOTHER GMC PRODUCT

you will need a second car while this one is in the shop!! bumper to bumper, this ride was designed by a bunch of engineers who see cheech and chong as THEIR role models!! i thank God that i purchased an extended warranty, or i would easily be out over ten grand! the service engine light keeps me company. finally went off with a new injector pump in mid summer, but now it is back!! EXTENDED WARRANTY!!

Very Disappointing

My wife and I purchased this vehicle brand new. Loved the car; had wonderful amenities. SLT with heated leather seats, moonroof, onstar, the works. We've performed all of the scheduled maintenance. It's been garage kept for its entire life and driven less than 10 miles a day with the occasional trip out of town. Drove great UNTIL the warranty expired. Ever since then $$$. Heater stopped working. We've poured over $3500 into it and it still won't blow hot. The GM mechanic had the nerve to come show my wife how to "properly" turn the heat on. What a jerk; never buying GM again. Too many problems to list. Can't wait until its gone. This was a $35,000 piece of crap. No wonder GM needed a bailout.

Wasted Money

This suv is a waste of money. I haved nothing but problems. Buying GMC, I thought I was better off than Chevy. That was a lie. All I bought was a expensive hunk of junk. From pins in the door squeaking to terrible gas mileage and Gmc customer service and dealerships that give poor service to you. In summary look at something different. I've owned this suv for two years and want everyone not to have the same problems as me. I diffinately would recommend something else.

I hate my car

I have had this vehicle for 2 years now. It has 113,000 miles. Replaced the ball joints 4 times and they need it again after just replacing the fuel pump at $900. I have probably spent at least $4000 on just repairing this vehicle. The 4 wheel drive switch went wacko. Now the brake lights are on and staying on. Fuel economy is rotten. This car has been in a repair garage more than it's been in my garage. I'll definitely not buy another GMC product again.
