1997 Jeep Cherokee 4 door review from North America
"I do love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2000 Right after I bought it the bushings, radiator,sway bar need to be replaced dealer said not under warranty, $900.00 to fix.
2001 Noticed the paint job is horrible black jeep white specs where paint is missing all over hood, cracking paint under clear coat. Dealer says it is from bird poop too bad.
2003 fuel gauge does not read right 1/4 tank sometimes I run out sometime I don't.
Also the rear oil seal started to leak fixed now.
The back brakes are making a clicking noise when applied. The front pads where fine two months ago now the rotors are shot along with pads.
Water pump replaced.
General comments?
This Jeep is fast, and can handle speeds up to 100 great, was chased on the LA freeway by a nut in a expedition and left him in the dust.I had it up to 100 mph it jammed.
Kind of bumpy, but hey it's a jeep. not a jag.
