1997 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America
"Right now very frustrating, when I first bought it loved it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior lights flash on and off periodically during the day and evening for the past 2-3 years.
Key-less door entry only open Driver door and glass hatch back, does not lock car.
Interior door lock sometimes does not lock all of the doors, you have to manually lock them. Drive it a few feet and it might work.
Car will start and travel a few feet and then stall, no interior lights nothing. Let it sit and try to start it again, sometimes it will turn over and other times it sounds like it wants to turn over, but won't.
Did have to have a new transmission put in at about 50,000 but that has worked fine up until recently, now it is leaking.
General comments?
I love the comfort and feel of the vehicle. Has had good power and handling on long trips.
Seating is a little tight for four average size adult. Those of us that are 5'5" and below it sits fine.
