2000 GMC Jimmy SL review from North America
"General Motor Company,for me stands for bad business and low integrity"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil changed every 3,000 miles by the dealership.
At 52,000 miles-A #5 rod went bad. I had to have six rings and a bearing kit, seal and a gasket set. $1400.
At 68,000 miles-I had to have the head transfer case fluid changed.$159.
At 90,000 the turn signal. $208.89.
At 96835 miles I had to have head gasket set, oil cooler lines, flush kit, several different gasket sets- total cost this time $1,922.54.
At about 100,000 I was told I needed to have a Crank kit again due to engine knot on driver side!! est. $1968.!!!
General comments?
The 2000 General Motor Company (GMC) jimmy that I drive is a very nice car to look at. It has leather seats and a moon roof. It is power everything and the drivers side is comfortable to ride in. However the rest of the car is very uncomfortable. The passenger side has a large bump in the floor. This bump makes the legs hurt.
But, looks is only a small part of why we buy a car. Dependability is the number one reason we buy a car. The 2000 GMC jimmy has no depentability. It is high priced and poorly made! I'll bet that other GMC cars and trucks have the same dependability. The GMC people that I spoke with would not stand behind their workmanship. I was left holding the bag! So, I was left to drive around in a $20,000.00 car with a very badly made motor. I still haven't had the crank kit done. I just found out last week. No, they are not standing behind their work. It is called low integrity. Be careful.
