1990 Jeep Cherokee review from North America
"It simply won't quit running"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced Head Gasket at 170,000.
Rear Bumper brackets need replacement.
General comments?
This truck is actually too reliable. I am wanting a new one, but can't justify replacing this one.
It always starts, even on the coldest of days. Handles Buffalo snow like a breeze.
The handling couldn't be better.
The room inside amazes me even after all this time. I helped a friend move and his entire apartment only took three trips. Fold down those seats and you could live in the back of this thing.
As I inch toward 200,000 with a motor that doesn't seem to want to die, I wonder if I am ever going to replace this thing.
My only regret is that Jeep doesn't make a vehicle for a larger family.
