1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"If I didn't still owe so much on the loan, I would love the vehicle in spite of the problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam shaft position sensor needed replaced at about 80,000 miles because the car would shut off with no warning. Took the third garage all day to figure out what the problem was.
Replaced radiator now A/C not very cold.
After driving for 30 miles or more, when I turn the steering wheel hard enough to enter a parking space I get a thumping and bumping (like if you were driving on a flat tire) that no one can find. The noise and rough ride goes away as soon as the wheel is straightened out. It doesn't happen on shorter trips and not all the time on longer ones.
Automatic transmission just starting to have hesitation when shifting gears.
General comments?
I bought the car for comfort and safe winter driving.
When it's not shutting off or making horrible noises, I love the vehicle.
The problems that no one can "find" really make me afraid to drive the thing with my family inside.
Any ideas on the unidentified problem would be very much appreciated.
