2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"One Tough Truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned 3 Jeeps. First 2 Wranglers, and my last is a 2001 Cherokee Sport with the upcountry package. Tires only last me 30k miles.
I'm going on my 4th set of brakes up front.
I have a frozen caliper too.
It also just started leaking oil from the rear main and rear diff.
I lost a O2 sensor a while ago, but pulled one out of a junk yard for $15 bucks.
I had leaks in the EGR system and found all the hoses under the Jeep were all cracked. Easy fix.
General comments?
If your check engine light is on, get a code scanner. Best $75 bucks you could spend. I live in San Diego, so no rust and all my speakers work...
