1996 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America
"All 1996 GMC Jimmy's should have been recalled all together!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced starter, water pump, all belts, hoses, and gaskets, front brakes 4x's, back wheel cylinders, drums, and shoes (shoes 2x's), radiator, system flushed 3x's, heater core, thermostat (x3), not to mention the lack of anything working properly!
General comments?
For starters I never wanted this truck to begin with! But somehow I let someone talk me into it and I have regretted it ever since! I bought it in 2004 with 144,00 miles on it for $3500.00 and was assured it was a great running vehicle, but the previous owner had another child and the 2 doors just weren't working out. YEAH RIGHT! He saw me coming! Needless to say I have put more money into it then I ever would've paid for a better used vehicle! I know its my own fault for being dooped, but come on people the way they make cars anymore is ridiculous! I know more about vehicles then I appear to and I am quite upset at the way people push their lemons onto other unsuspecting, trusting individuals. As far as I am concerned I will never buy GMC again!
