2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited review from North America
"4x4 Polished turd"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
12000 Miles the front brake rotors need replacement. (warranty)
26000 Miles the front brake rotors needed replacement once again, I was told this was common. (warranty)
Around 31000 miles the oxygen sensor failed. (warranty)
57000 Miles rear right axle/wheel bearing failed, also damaging the axle seal causing oil to get all over the brake pads. (out of pocket)
Most recently the transmission has gotten stuck in reverse, after a few minutes of playing with the shifter it went into drive. Have not brought it into the shop yet.
Front brake rotors pulsing again..
General comments?
When I bought this vehicle I thought I was getting a solid rig, I was sadly mistaken. Off road as well as on road it handles like a dream, a little body roll, but not bad for a SUV of its size. Gets poor mpg for the amount of power (slugish). Nice looks, and comfortable.
Ill never buy another jeep.
