1984 AMC Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"Luxury and ruggedness"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leaked so I replaced it, minor transmission problems. Usual maintenance problems like paint chipping, recharge need on the A/C.
The carburettor is slow to accelerate but it hasn't shown any serious problems. The only problem that I really found a pain was the power window had problems and I eventually had to replace it after replacing the drive track twice. Other than that it works great now.
General comments?
I love my vehicle because it is so rugged, yet comfortable. The body is tough enough to resist most minor impacts but it can dent. I feel much safer in my Wagoneer than in most other vehicles. It has all power including: seats, windows, mirrors, rear windows, and locks. It can move just about anything in low gear. It would be the perfect family car if it only had better gas mileage.
