1999 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both front wheel bearings had to be replaced.
Transmission had to be fully repaired.
Oil lines, both out and return lines had to be replaced.
4WD transmission motor had to be replaced ($1950.00).
Driver information cluster had to be replaced (Thank god it was under warranty on this one)
Both front door hinges had to be replaced, water was leaking inside.
As you're driving (summer or winter), there's always hot air coming at foot level, even with the temperature control switched off.
General comments?
All, except one of the above problems happened after the warranty ended. So this car really put our finances in bed shape. GM off course adopts the policy (you bought it, its yours).
I would never buy this car again.
