2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Falls apart after warranty period"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From the start on the transmission clunks.
The flap for diverting the ventilator heat to the front passenger & drivers feet is not working. A teddy bear stuffed at the drivers side open this flap now always. Do not want to know what it costs to repair this. With 0F and a bunch of snow in Michigan heat in your car gets important.
After a drive down to Florida and up-wards to Michigan my engine does not run stable anymore. Plugs and cabling was changed and fuel system cleaned. Still not 100% fixed.
At 58000 Miles On the highway suddenly 2 sensors fro engine gave up resulting in several large kickbacks at 70Miles/hour.
300$ repair.
At 60000 Miles left passenger door module failed to work. Door could not be locked. Cost around 100$ for spare part only.
At 64000 Miles the steering column has several issues. Need to replace several items. Cost 700$. As well recently the battery was empty after not using the car for a week. No failure was located at dealer. Every 3000 Miles I change my oil which is also a pain.
General comments?
After investing almost 2000$ in 1.5 year I'm considering selling my car.
Inside it looks good and has a lot of space.
