1995 GMC Jimmy Reviews - Page 3 of 5

Several ERG valves.

3 PVC valves.

2 fuel pumps

1 alternator.

4, yes 4 CPI units, each 13 months apart!

Conveniently 30 days outside the warranty.

This was a very comfortable and nice looking vehicle that was easy to keep looking good, however the reliability of this vehicle was so poor and the expense of the CPI units far out weighed any positive aspects of this vehicle. I can honestly say the check engine light was on more than it was off in this truck. The dealer had it in the shop more often than not. I am very disappointed in GMC not standing behind the CPI units at 800.00 a piece.

I can honestly say I will never own another GMC product. I have lost all faith in the brand. When I traded that truck in last week I felt so relieved, as if they drove off of my chest instead of out of my parking lot. I still look out my window at my new vehicle and feel relieved that the Jimmy is no longer my problem. I hope the next owner of that truck is a mechanic or they will spend more in fixing the thing than it is worth.

Drivers seat quit working. Had to change fuel pump twice. I even had to change, the

4x4 plunger to ingage it in 4x4 twice. I even had to change, the fuel regulator.

Well where should I start. It's a really strong truck. It has lots of power, when it runs. Its really hard on gas. If you want to own one of these trucks, you better have a good paying job. Fuel pump $120.00=X2, 4x4 plunger $85.00=x2, fuel regulator $800.00, and its still sitting in the garage, broken down.

This is the worst car I ever had, it was nothing but problems since I drove it out of the dealership.

At 10 miles the passenger side mirror fell off the car.

At 25 miles the brakes were soft and had to be replaced.

At 170 miles the transmission was replaced.

At 194 miles the tires had to be replaced.

At 200 miles the idler arm was replaced.

At 275 miles the engine was replaced.

At 400 miles the radiator was replaced.

At 560 miles the shocks/struts were replaced.

At 735 miles the power seats broke and were replaced.

At 750 miles another transmission was installed.

At 1,000 miles I put a for sale sign in the window.

This truck was a serious lemon, it was in the dealer for service more than I drove it. I called GM headquarters with my list of problems and they were not very helpful, they wouldn't even authorize a loaner car for me! I would never buy or recommend a GM automobile.

Original owner of this SUV. Have only had a few of what I consider major problems with this vehicle.

1. The EGR valve pintle will get stuck. Seems to recur about every 50 to 60,000 miles. Simple fix though. Take it off and clean the carbon on it.

2. Windshield wipe motor. GMC has repaired this once for no charge under a recall and now it is going again. Not a big deal to replace either.

3. Blower motor for heater. Working on replacing for the third time. Changed at 85,000 and now at 175,000. Have to remove some for the plastic firewall covering to gain access to this if you have not replaced yet.

4. Starter motor replaced at 75,000. This would seem typical life span to me for the parts on new cars today.

Other than these issues, typical stuff changed under normal use like plugs, distributor, wires, air filter, brake pads and such.

All in all, the truck has been very reliable. Starts when I need it to and gets me where I need to go. Working on my third set of Goodyear Wrangler tires. They seem to get me 75-80000 miles per set. The interior as well as the body has held up very well. If the engine decides to quit, I will definitely rebuild it. No way can I replace the performance of this vehicle for the cost of a rebuild.
