1997 GMC Jimmy SLE review from North America
"Steer clear of this"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got it was leaking brake fluid.
The transmission went out on the way from Michigan to Myrtle Beach.
Need brake drums at 40K.
Water pump.
General comments?
I think GM needs to work on fixing the reliability of their trucks.
The back seat is very uncomfortable on long trips.
It does accelerate nice. That's about the only thing going for it.
