1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Jeep has put out a good looking powerful money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About one week after we acquired this vehicle, the fuel pump went out.
After having this problem fixed, we began to experience problems with the engine cutting out as we are traveling down the road. This is especially distressing at 55 mph in heavy traffic.
Took the vehicle in for a 30/60/90 service and were told the brakes were bad. They were not that bad when we took it in, however they had been squealing so a brake job was in the future.
Priority though was having the front axle replaced as the 4x4 axle was very worn. The service center that replaced the axle returns the truck to me with further brake problems stating the brakes are now dangerous.
Replaced everything from the brake lines to the brake pads, and we are still having problems. We are yet to find out if the problem lies somewhere between the booster and the ABS or if it is as simple as air in the system.
General comments?
I am rather distraught over the amount of problems we have experienced with this vehicle and the mounting repair bills to attempt to keep it functioning.
At this juncture I am afraid to tow with it though I know it has the power.
On the whole the interior is comfortable, and at least the air conditioner works.
Would be nice if the whole vehicle would work properly all at the same time.
