2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America

The memory system is intermittently causing the driver's power mirror to point outwards each time the door is unlocked with the remote.

The windshield washer nozzles make contact on the windshield below the wiper arms, which uses too much fluid and still doesn't clean the window very well.

The engine was over-serviced with double the amount of oil at the last oil change. This was noticed when the vehicle was parked on a slight grade and the engine was started. A cloud of white smoke engulfed the Jeep. I checked the oil, and it was 2 feet up the dipstick. The dealer de-serviced the oil, but now the engine has a very rough idle. They kept it for 24 hours and couldn't fix it. I am giving them one more chance before I contact Chrysler.

The brakes started grabbing after a slight panic stop. The dealer took care of this after 13,500 miles, but only because he had the vehicle from noon to noon to fix it. They claim to be a 5 star dealer, but with the surveys I send back, it won't last long.

The vehicle is very well designed, except for the bad seats and the blind spots. It is good on a trip, as long as you get out and stretch. The size of the Grand Cherokee is the most appealing thing about owning this Sport Utility. I can go anywhere, even on top of a mountain with the Quadra-drive system, as long as the landowner doesn't mind.

However, if you ever try to trade this puppy in, you will be disappointed with the trade-in value. For some reason, if just doesn't command a decent price.
