Pros: Good power and handling
Cons: Unreliable
I bought this fully loaded SUV because I got a good deal on it and then used my GM points to reduce the price even further. However, just as the warranty expired, my transmission went bad and so did the alternator. In addition, the plastic paneling...

Pros: Fuel economy, ride

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this- it will end up costing a lot of money and you might become stranded!
Basically, I like the GMC Jimmy for a good vehicle to drive, ride in, and carry things in. I also usually average about 22 miles per gallon. However, there are some problems people should know about this vehicle. For the first two years, it was great....

Pros: Very durable and stylish vehicle
Cons: rising gas prices
I have had my SUV for almost a year and it has 141K miles and had only had to put brakes on it, it has been a very reliable vehicle to go to the cabin and haul a ATV or boat, i had no problems that were out of the ordinary that is normal wear/tear that any other vehicle would have. Very easy maintenance the only bad thing i would have to say is the gas and with gas prices rising its not helping but overall i am very pleased with my vehicle.

Jimmy problems

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good, hauls well, tows well.
Cons: tons of $200 problems
On or about 60K miles, my gas gage quit working.
About every 2 years I need a new alternator.
I drive in the DC area and I always needed to replace my brakes every 12 months or so, I find ceramic brakes quite better and last considerably longer.
I had replaced all three oxygen sensors this year (2005); the check engine light finally went off.
I have a bad accessories electrical fuse(the large one) that got very hot and is bad. I replaced it and the new one popped in less than 10 minutes. No new additions to the truck, so I wonder the problem.
