1999 GMC Jimmy SLX review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Great to be able to blow off steam.
The BIG/LITTLE 3 deserve all they get by selling JUNK to their customers. This piece of CRAP has 50000 miles on it, and thus far you name it and it has been defective.
Heater core leaks at 49000 miles; cost to repair at GMC dealer $1500.
Door hinge pins & bushings gone; cost $220.
Now front wheel hubs shot; another $750.
Today the service engine light; $150 at GMC dealer just to hook up their computer to check.
I have always been a GM guy; NEVER again. I had three new Cadi. SLS and all 3 had the same issues; air conditioner, heater, tail lights. GM quite simply CANNOT make a good car.
My 1999 Q-45 Infiniti has 180000 miles on it, and I have NOT had to replace even one light bulb. YES I have put brakes and tires on it.
My 2004 M-45 Infiniti has 45000 miles on it; same thing, NOT one penny in repairs.
I wish I would have read this site prior to buying this PIECE OF CRAP GM product. They should be ASHAMED selling such defective products.
I guess NOW it is PAY BACK time for US auto makers, and they DESERVE everything they get. These guys have DESTROYED the average Joe's trust in their product, and their ability to run the BIG 3 and do what is right.
General comments?
SORRY, NOT one good thing to say about this product. I WILL NEVER buy a US made auto again, NEW or USED.
