Used 2001 GMC Jimmy Consumer Reviews
From one problem to next
Bought it new. Replaced water pump, many bearings, idler, pitman arms, every kind of leak possible due to Dex- cool GM problem and had problems with 4x4. At least the body has held up over the years.
Are you kidding me!
Wow, and I thought I was the only person who absolutely hates this SUV! Single mom trying to make it and this suv keeps putting me further in the whole. When my transmission went out the repair shop told me they replace at least two or more of these models of transmissions every week. They recommend that you buy a new transmission and have it rebuilt. Yeah $1500.00 and 1 1/2 years later the transmission is just about shot again. I have replaced almost all front end parts 2-3 times (yes, the same parts) I was told after buying it that it is a high maintenance suv. Wish someone would have told me that before I bought it...lol ABS/brake lights stay on wipers always break I could go on for days

3 transmissions, and 3 fuel pumps
Hi I bought it used. Now have 191,000 and if you throw enough money at something it will keep running, This is the only vehicle I have ever had to have towed 7 times and I have been driving over 40 years. AAA is a must if you drive one of these. The body still looks great. Now there is something major going on with the front end. Afraid to take it to the mechanic. This is the third transmission, one radiator, fuel pump has been replaced 3 times. The starter, brakes and rotors several times. The 4 wheel drive and a/c works perfectly have not had to do anything with either too bad the whole car wasn't like these components.
80,000 miles guaranteed tranny swap
My 2001 GMC Jimmy SLE is for the most part a reliable vehicle. Definitely fun in the snow! Heavy 4wd vehicles are though right. I'm loyal to this SUV though the worries tell me never to buy another and possibly never another GMC. From a rebuilt transmission, gasket replacement, bearings, and water leaks plus alignments? How should i feel?
Everything I expected
I bought this SUV new from the dealership in 2001. I now have 90,000 miles on it. I get around 18 MPG city and 22 highway and I love to hit the gas. The biggest problem I had, was needing new tires at 28,000 miles. Was told that it helps keep the cost down to build them. This is a great SUV and will keep it for a long time.
