1998 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"Turning into a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trim is coming off both driver and passenger windows.
Rear wiper motor has passed away.
Oil lines are leaking.
Power door locks flicker uncontrollably.
Seat adjuster handle has broken off.
Engine tends to hesitate unless under a lot of acceleration.
General comments?
Truck has adequate power and handling, but is costly to maintain. Extended warranty is recommended. Repairs should be done by independent garages as the dealer will always charge you for something.
