1997 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"Mustang and SUV in one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car October 2002.
My transmission blew at 100,000.
The wiper motor was recalled.
116,000 miles Check engine Soon light appeared: upon inspection idler arm needs replacement.
General comments?
I love my Jimmy.
I would not trade it, I have had some normal problems with the car.
Nothing major other than the transmissing.
Although whipping around turns is not an option in this, it does have a great pick up.
