2000 GMC Jimmy SLE 4x4 review from North America
"Does it come with Lemonade?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Engine crank seal was leaking at 25,000 miles.
The Bose stereo stopped functioning properly. More specific, the SCV (Speed compensated volume) quit.
The wiper control module has burned out twice before 35,000 miles. I barely use the wipers.
My front wheel bearings and hubs were shot at 43,000 miles.
The front window motor burned out at 25,000 miles.
General comments?
I love the 4.3 engine reliability. You will never hear of problems with the "engine" of these vehicles; its just everything else goes bad!!
The interior is cramped, especially in the back. At most, 2 petite people can sit barely comfortable.
Maintenance is very easy. Being a mechanics son, I do my own work. Its pretty easy to change all of the fluids. The fuel filter is hard though.
