1994 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America

When the truck was 7-years old (and had 55K miles on it, a frame weld cracked where the outrigger for the lower control arm meets the frame. Although out of warranty, it was repaired at no cost.

The oil cooler hoses have been replaced 3-times. The last time at 66K miles. This time they came apart while driving and had to be towed for the repairs to be made. Again, although out of warranty, it was repaired at no cost.

AC has a slow leak that no one can find. The system has been recharged 3-times with 134a. It lasts all summer (duct temp 43 degrees). But seem to leak out over the winter.

Cat converter failed at 75K miles, as did both O2 sensors. This was on my dime.

Both the front and rear wiper motors failed. Both covered under warranty.

Fuel injector unit failed at 45K miles. Repaired under warranty.

Both front door outer Jimmy trim panels came loose and had to be replaced. Done under warranty.

Rear window hatch release failed. Repaired under warranty.

Of course basic repairs such as front bakes every 20K miles. Only had to replace the rear brakes in 96K miles.

Tuned up every 25K miles. All filters replaced religiously. Trans fluid flushed and coolant flushed and replaced every 30K. All hoses replaced at 50K miles.

Seat at power seat switch torn.

Pint flacking from roof rack.

Alternator at 40 and 75K miles. Both times under warranty or good will adjustment.

Rides rough.

Excess braking effort to stop the truck.

So-so fuel economy.

This truck doesn't owe me a dime!
