1998 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America
"The quality of this truck is poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joints several times
4wd stopped working
Turn signal caught fire
Wheel bearings
Shocks
Passenger recline lever broke
Rear wiper stopped working
Coolant lines leaking
Oil leaking
Alignment
wheel vibration.
General comments?
I have had this car since new and I have realized I hate driving it.
The wind noise in the cabin is intrusive and it is difficult to hold a conversation at hwy speed.
The truck wanders across the hwy and it is difficult to keep going straight. It needs constant steering corrections despite having it in for alignments numerous times.
Every time I bring it for service, it needs something else fixed.
The door leaks when it is raining.
