1999 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America
"Me and Jimmy are a great Match, awesome vehicle!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front passenger door resistor broke the very day I bought it. It must have been slightly ceased and just broke right off so now the door does not stay open on it's own.
Front wheel bearings had to be replaced recently after 106000km. I thought it was just the ball joints needing replaced, but it turned out to be a $1000 repair. Should have lasted longer I think.
The hatch leaks quite a bit of dust on gravel roads in the summer, but only in around the window and doesn't really come in the cabin.
Mileage computer is slightly tricky to reset after fueling up.
General comments?
This truck is awesome in the winter, in fairly deep snow or icy roads. It handles great in a spin. The auto 4x4, is amazing in getting around town.
The heated seats are the best, once you have them you never go back. Leather is so much easier to clean and look after.
It has wonderful space, I am tall and so is the rest of my family and we are very comfortable in it for long distances. Cargo space is roomy, and extendible cover is added security.
