1996 GMC Jimmy SLE review from North America
"Not mechanically reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bubbling when air conditioner on, system flushed by dealer three times, still continued to make noise. $864 for repairs.
After flushing we developed a transmission leak and then found out we had water in the transmission, $2,800 for repairs.
After this the heater core needed to be replaced, another $750.
Then the water pump went, I forget how much that cost to replace.
General comments?
We received no help from GM customer service (contacted 3 times) and when asked if we would purchase another GM vehicle and said "no" we were told they could not help us with our problems.
The dealer ignored our complaints and refused to return calls, etc.
