2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic review from North America
"Jeeps are true, off road capable vehicles!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vehicle has a loud and rough standing idle which can be annoying. I have chosen to accept it.
Vehicle has an intermittent whining noise coming from the rear brakes.
Vehicle requires constant correction to hold a straight line on the highway.
My friend, who also owns a Jeep, does not speak highly of the local dealer so I avoid them at all cost. I choose to do all of the maintenance myself.
General comments?
This model Jeep is a rough riding vehicle and should not be purchased by anyone who desires the ride of a sedan. This is not a car-based SUV! Having said that, it is one of the most capable, inexpensive, four wheel drive vehicles you can buy.
My Jeep easily transports me to all of my off-road destinations. Unlike my previous four by four, it has yet to let me down.
Wonderful vehicle to load up with camping gear; from the cab, to the roof, to my mountain bikes mounted on my hitch based carrier.
The tried and true manual transfer case is the only way to go for those who never want to be stranded off road, stuck in two wheel drive because of a push button system that failed.
This vehicle provides solid assurance on snow covered highways.
I love my Jeep and would definitely buy another one. Keep in mind that I am a thirty something male and do not mind the rough ride characteristics.
