My Engine crank seal was leaking at 25,000 miles.
The Bose stereo stopped functioning properly. More specific, the SCV (Speed compensated volume) quit.
The wiper control module has burned out twice before 35,000 miles. I barely use the wipers.
My front wheel bearings and hubs were shot at 43,000 miles.
The front window motor burned out at 25,000 miles.
I love the 4.3 engine reliability. You will never hear of problems with the "engine" of these vehicles; its just everything else goes bad!!
The interior is cramped, especially in the back. At most, 2 petite people can sit barely comfortable.
Maintenance is very easy. Being a mechanics son, I do my own work. Its pretty easy to change all of the fluids. The fuel filter is hard though.
Its been at least 4-5 years since I wrote this review. I just want to update. I sold the 2000 Jimmy 4x4 in 2004. The final straw was the actuator motor for the heat went bad, it would only heat on the floor (so what happens when you need defrost? exactly) The dealer wanted an exuberant amount of money to fix it. So I did what any self respecting person would do - brought it down the road to the Chrysler dealer and traded it in for a brand new Chrysler Sebring. I only kept the Sebring for 10 months (hated it) and traded the Sebring in for a 2002 Envoy, of which I still have.
You're wrong... the engine went out on my 2000 Jimmy SLE... it decided it would be fun to throw a rod... $9600 piece of crap.
