1989 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Gas guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the carberator.
Replaced the radiator.
Replaced the rear brakes.
Grumbles when shut off. Sometimes backfires.
Will not go over 60 MPH without shaking.
General comments?
This car is great for going to the beach and carrying kayaks, bikes and surfboards.
However every time I turn around there is something falling apart and/or breaking.
The gas mileage is terrible.
The car is not very reliable and I would not drive it anywhere but around town. I have had to get towed one too many times.
