2001 GMC Jimmy SLE 4X4 review from North America
"LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front hubs went out twice, first time not even a week after getting the car. Second time at 43000 miles.
Pitman arm went out at 42000 miles.
Front end is still a mystery. The car wanders all over the road. Steering is terrible. Very scary to drive on windy days. Dealership has no clue what is wrong.
General comments?
This car is the worst car I have ever owned. When accelerating, it gets spurts of power. Maybe just a tune up, but from other reviews, I hope the transmission doesn't go out.
