1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Woody review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tailgate window has a little trouble going down. A new motor would make it work like normal.
Rear passenger door handle does not work from the inside. Something is loose inside of the door.
Rear passenger lock does not work with key-less entry. Something is loose inside of the door.
Headlight switch gets hot and turns off headlights. An easy fix for $15.
General comments?
The Jeep only gets 10 mpg, but that is really good for a carburated engine. A new fuel injected SUV will not get much better.
4x4 still works great. The Woody will hammer through snow with no problems.
The body is getting rusty, but that is common. I suggest getting it painted before the rust spreads.
The engine runs great for the high miles. It is not very fast, but the woody is a very heavy vehicle.
I love this woody and have no plans of selling it. Add new paint and maybe even a rebuilt engine and you will have an SUV that EVERYBODY loves to look at. I get compliments on this vehicle every week.
