1998 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America
"The most unreliable but comfortable item I ever purchased"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I lost my ignition module after 5 hours off the show room floor.
Replaced the air conditioner twice and the alternator three times.
Finally the windshield wipers would not quit until the ignition was turned off.
General comments?
This vehicle handles very well and was the most comfortable truck I have ever owned.
The reliability of the Jimmy leaves very much to be desired. All of the above problems occured prior to 38000 miles. At 42000 I could take no more and traded in the truck for two Nissans. Since that day I have never had to worry about being stranded on the side of the road.
