Faults:

The only real things wrong with this is the A/C stopped working (no big deal).

The power locks stopped working.

The oil pan gasket and the rear main seal needed to be replaced.

All u-joints had to be replaced.

And as a precautionary measurement, I replaced the complete front end.

General Comments:

This is the best vehicle that I have ever owned, and I would not trade it or get rid of it for anything in the world.

The toughest most reliable and most dependable S.U.V. on the market. Way better than any new model on the market.

The only down side to this manufacturer, is that they are no longer made by AMC. I think Chrysler makes them too cheap.

Faults:

A/C compressor first six months.

Battery every two to three years.

Both d/p side view mirror adjustment cables broke in 1993 (12 years)

A/C freon valves failed in 2005.

Alternator died at 167000 miles and 21 years.

General Comments:

Three rear end collisions and the rear bumper is still perfect, totaled the three cars.

This thing is a tank!

Driven from California to Rhode Island and back three times, all over the country of Panama, and in the Siera mountains skiing. Goes anywhere!

Great ground clearance.

Great room in the back.

Faults:

Bought the Jeep for $2500 Cdn. in Dec.2005 - Low mileage.

Have not driven it since - stored all winter - body great.

It is standard 4X4 - 5 speed - did not pass emissions test in Ontario. I am changing all emission control systems - new catalytic converter - bought new rocker panels to cut out old rusted ones.

Starts great after sitting for months - seems reliable.

Faults:

Radiator has been replaced twice. Systemic problem with the plastic top separating from the core.

Front wheel bearings went out at 70,000 miles and have been good since!

Water pumps replaced at 90,000 mile intervals.

Brakes don't stop well, no matter who's rotors, pads and shoes you use!

Paint clear-coat shot in less than 2 years of ownership. Aftermarket paint job lasted 17 years before clear-coat breakdown!

Harmonic balancer replaced once.

General Comments:

Very dependable vehicle. Turn the key and it'll start no matter where it is.

Still gets the same gas mileage today as I got the day I picked it up over 20 years ago.

Burns just little more oil than it did when it was new -less than a half a quart each 3,000 miles. The engine has never been opened or touched.

Doesn't drip any oil from either the engine or rear end. Clean driveway!

Very responsive, quick turning, great visibility, terrific off-road (where the Cherokee shines!).

Faults:

Normal brake wear.

The alternator.

U-joints.

General Comments:

Brakes wear out, no matter what year you get.

The alternator was still the factory one.

U-joints, well they have to be replaced when your car is older than your oldest child. (middle school)

Other than that... Nothing.
