1998 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America

After one week of purchase the transmission had to be replaced within two weeks of receiving my Jimmy back the same problem of before started again, all dash lights would come on, loose power, dealership said it was in the wiring, so back to the shop it went to have a wiring problem traced.

At 53,000 miles started making a loud noise Torque converter and drive shaft was loose from having transmission replaced, whoops forgot to tighten bolts. Back to shop.

Two weeks later drive shaft was falling out I took it to a private mechanic to have it fixed. $1152.00 of my money.

Starting in April of 2002, replaced window wiper gear approximately $250.00, battery, electronic starter $475.00, and the thermostat.

So far this year starting January of 2003 I have replaced all ball joints over $200.00 and now there is something making a loud squeak when you start pressing on the gas pedal that is sticking and of course the brakes squeak all the time.

Did I mention I have bought a full set of tires and the front two had to be replaced after 1,800 miles?

Love the way it handles.

Looks sharp on the road when drivable.

Gotta keep the body looking good because I owe more on it than the book value.
