1998 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"The truck needs work"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First week of owning, the battery went. Did not think anything of it. Have replaced 4 batteries so far. They get completely drained beyond charging.
Computer for the brakes failed three months after purchase, not covered under warranty.
Hub Bearings are now going. Occasional loud noise when turning the steering wheel.
Seat adjuster on passenger side broke off recently.
General comments?
Very dependable 4 wheel drive.
