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!
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.

Awesome!
Excellent handling in snowy conditions. I've repalced in the five years owned the water pump, breaks, rotars, Thermostat, wheel bearings, tires, a/c condensor, fuel pump, alternator, fuel gauge & battery. It has over 130,000. miles on it and runs great. With the money I've put into it I feel like I have a whole new suv. What else could go wrong? I love my Jimmy! Comfort and ease. Love all the little gadgets and stereo system on the steering wheel. Bose stereo! Excellent system.
Wouldn't buy again
I have had my Jimmy for about 4 years now and I have had some basic problems check engine lights on and no one can figure out why, blew a head gas get. I have been good to it always get oil changed on time. It feels like the car is made of plastic and it makes terrible noises when you drive. I guess all in all it been OK to me. Also terrible gas mileage I don't even want to check and see what it is now with gas $4
Total Junk
This car has been nothing but one problem after another. Bought it for my wife to haul the kids around in but it seems like im working on it more than it runs. We have replaced rear end, month later the transmission went out, next the fuel pump quit, then the lock quit working, and now the thing wont start half of the time. Had it checked today and its the spider coil. It has been nothing but a money pit.
