1997 Jeep Cherokee LTD review from UK and Ireland
"A big disappointment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vehicle is now on its 5th set of alloy wheels since the finish cracks and bubbles - 1st set after two months.
Rear suspension changed at 10,000 miles.
35 different electrical faults so far, most of which were due to poor assembly.
General comments?
This could be such a good small 4x4 but is let down by shoddy build quality, if it wasn't for the this poor quality issue, in my opinion it would out perform any diesel 4x4. Having said that I will never buy another one, from now on it will have to be Japanese.
