1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Incredibly reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headliner fell a week after buying it. I found this to be a common problem with all Cherokee's.
My water pump burst at 163,000 miles.
I replaced the alternator at 170,000 miles.
Had the air conditioner serviced at 172,000 miles.
General comments?
I love my Cherokee it has been incredibly reliable.
The in-line six offers you pretty good pep and power for it size and weight.
It's a very handsome vehicle, yet it is tough as nails.
Plan to own it till the wheels fall off.
