The truck was great looking. But broke down on a regular basis. Electronics and engine problems. Even the dealer was tired of fixing it! Finally traded it in for a more reliable truck .
Expensive to maintain

I've had to replace the alternator 3 times, the battery 2 times, both of the front ball joints As well as the idle arm have gone out, and the electrical system is junk. The door hinges and pins have gone out. I have also had to replace the fuses a couple of times. It stinks on gas. Nothing lasts very long on this SUV, and as soon as you fix one thing another thing goes out on you. Don't buy a Jimmy! Unless you like spending money on the same thing part again and again.

Engine still running strong at 124,500 miles, but I have gone through front end parts like crazy. 6 wheel hubs, ball joints replaced twice. Fuel pressure sensor and purge valve went out. It has been in the shop a lot for suspension/front end parts and wheel hubs are not cheap. I also have issues with the car shaking/shimmy-ing at low speeds/reverse when in 4WD. Read an information bulletin that there have been complaints on this problem but no recalls.
Nice Vehicle

We bought this Vehicle in 2007, because of the design other amenitites it came with. It only had 49,000 miles on it when we bought it. It now has 81,000 miiles and it needs lower ball joints, seals on the motor cause it leaks bad and other minor stuff. We keep the oil changed regularly. Now, we don't drive it at all. When we bought it, it still had a warranty and I took it back to be fixed, of course the warranty doesn't cover any of the things wrong with it. I would like to trade it. I won't buy another one. It has heated seats on both driver and passenger side in the front and memory seats on the driver side. Both of these options were what sold us on it,including leather and other options

Lot of problems with radiator, water pump, thermostat and heater coil because of red antifreeze damage. There were recalls by GMC on red antifreeze and law suites against GMC, but I bought used, did not know about this an the dealer of course never mentioned any problems. Car was owned previously by a Doctor who could afford the extra maintenance. One month after purchase, It needed a water pump. It Needs a 120.00 radiator flush every 3 mo. or so to keep down rust build up in raditor. Red rust is so thick it looks like wet red clay dirt and clogs up the heater coil and water pump, heat won't work. I would not recommend that anyone buy a car that uses red antifreeze. Don't walk, run away!
