1995 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"Next vehicle will be 4-wheel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Molding on drivers side keeps falling off, but is not causing a problem.
Alternator replaced around 70,000.
Rear defroster wire came off.
2-wheel vehicle is terrible in foul weather (rain, snow).
Major expense replacing CPI on the Vortex engine around 100,000.
General comments?
I love the look and handling of my Jimmy in the warmer months, but it is extremely terrible when the road is wet. I understand there is a problem with the Fuel Injection System (CPI), which is very costly to fix. I hope if more complaints are made it will be recalled.
