1997 GMC Jimmy review from North America
"This SUV is perfect for people who know how to fix cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have probably paid more on repairs than what the truck is actually worth.
Replaced the alternator at 80,000 miles.
Also had to replace the brakes a few times.
The belt in the engine squeaks when it rains or in the morning.
Also had to replace the ball joint once before and it is starting to make noises again.
General comments?
This SUV is pretty good with cornering and steering.
The inside is like an older style, but the seats are pretty comfortable.
The tinted windows can be a small problem though.
