I bought my 2001 Jimmy in July 2007, it was a used Jimmy. It has a good engine has always started but the security systems stinks. We drove the Jimmy a week after we bought it to Georgia. We get to Chatanoga TN and we started having problems with the Jimmy stopping and the security light coming on. We get back to Indiana where we live and the horns start going off and lights flashing in the middle of the night. We stop at a gas station shut the engine off, put in gas, pay for gas, get back in the Jimmy start it up and the security light comes on and we can't move. Now over a year later, the Jimmy runs but only for about 10 minutes and shuts off, won't run. Trading off as soon as I can.

Never buy a 99 GMC Jimmy 2 Door 4.3L Sport. They are Junk! I had to put a new trans in it $1500. Plus upper and lower ball joins on both sides $426. They heater dont work. Also the rear end needs to be rebuild $700. The pinion bearings and gears are bad. Make lots of humming noise when your going down the road and let off the gas.

Bought the car as a demo, less than 10k miles..., Nothing but problems...Had to bring it back to the dealer over 15 times prior to the warranty running out. First it was Fuel Pump, Air Pump, and basically the whole engine... Then it started leaking oil out of the engine gasket. All this when it was under 36,000 miles. Total trash..... No more GMC for me. No dealer want this piece of trash for a trade in. You'd be lucky to get 1,000 for it.....
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!
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.
