2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Special Edition review from North America
"4x4 capability and luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recall for Engine Control Unit Spring 2004.
Windshield trim started to separate Spring 2004, fixed under warranty.
Squeaking/Rubbing noise while going over bumps late winter-Spring 2004, fixed under warranty.
General comments?
Perfect size for 1 driver.
Comfortable cabin.
Easy to use controls.
Maintenance interval reminder along with vehicle information center integrated into overhead compass/temperature display.
4.0L I-6 could use more power, better design (similar to Chevy Trailblazer/GMC Envoy's 4.2L I-6)
Great Infinity Gold stereo, although it breaks up a bit while under power lines.
Handles wet and snowy weather with ease.
Brakes need to be much stronger, too weak of a braking system.
