1994 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4.0

Summary:

Problems that the corporation should fix

Faults:

Right now my ignition switch is messed up.

My drivers door latch is broke; I had to come up with another way to shut it, so I would be safe.

Also, my front passenger brake caliper keeps on sticking; I have to change it every year.

1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4 litre V6 engine

Summary:

Comfortable and fun to drive, but can get costly

Faults:

I Had to change thermostat when I first got it.

Air conditioning works, but makes the car over heat.

Windshield washer fluid light is continuously on, no matter what the level is.

Blower fuse for heat/air conditioning went out.

Drivers side mirror cracked.

All back end lights went out, some fuse I forgot the name of.

One of the rods that holds the trunk open, nut came off the screw and the only way to put it back together would be to take off the plastic and cut open a hole because its unreachable.

Drivers side front axle broke off of bracket and had to get welded back on.

Back brakes are odd, when coming to a complete stop, will make a noise and when starting off again, will release and "wiggle" the car a little bit, making that same sound again.

Removable cup holder broke.

Battery died out of no where.

Sometimes has trouble starting. Something with the drive shaft. Will have to jiggle the shaft in either park or neutral to get it started. Sometimes, leaving me to jiggle the shaft back and forth from park and neutral for up to 15 minutes or until I give up and try again at a later time.

General Comments:

Comfortable car and fun to drive. It handles pretty well and turns nicely, but not the fastest. It is top heavy, and it seemed at one point that I was going to tip after a sharp turn. At first, I thought the ride was a little bumpy, but got use to it rather quickly. Other than the removable cup holder (which I hate and have had more spills because it falls out of place), interior is nice. I have over-sized tires, but gas mileage isn't the worst. With 4 wheel drive, its great in the snow, have never gotten stuck. Being from isolated upstate NY, it's pretty good on the back, dirt roads, but I hit a good sized pot hole a little faster then I would have liked and it broke my axle. The straight 6 has good take off and I can pull a fair amount of weight.

The starting issue is your neutral safety switch; it corrodes over time. It's a simple fix, but kind of tough to get it off. When you get it off, you open it up, clean it out with carb cleaner, then give a nice coat of dielectric grease, then put it back together and you're good to go.

I really like how it handles.

How great it handles in the snow when the tires are almost bald.

1994 Jeep Cherokee Country

Summary:

Fine, fine little truck!!!

Faults:

While hauling a u-haul van last year moving from Vancouver Island to Watson Lake, Yukon, the Jeep engine light came on occasionally ... stopped in at Fort Nelson and got a quick comment from a mechanic ... he said no worries ... just and exhaust volume issue... ran fine all the rest of the Alaska Highway.

General Comments:

Fine vehicle!

I have done regular maintenance on my jeep all the years I have owned it... I have lived in Canada's north and near north and this jeep has taken me EVERYWHERE I wanted to go - off road and on... cattle country, the southern mainland and rainy island, the mountains, and mining country and creek beds were easy-peasy for my two sons and I... we slept in it, drove it constantly, and all I have replaced are the universals, the brakes, shocks, put on new tires when I needed them, and tightened down the head bolts a few years ago when I saw some oil on the engine. I do regular maintenance and keep it clean inside and out. It repays me with trouble-free driving on short and long hauls. I am just headed out for a journey back to the island and then to the Peace River country. I have no doubts about my jeep carrying on for a few years yet.

I noticed a small crack in my dash yesterday - gonna fill that in with some vinyl repair goop tonight (land of the midnight sun - good time for that kind of work is late in the evening when the sun is really low) Oh yeah, I had to arrange a spot weld on the wiper motor - it needed a little jag last summer - snapped off - but it is fine - my son just zapped it back into place at school in the auto shop! Did I say I love my Jeep?

My jeep gets an A+++++. British Columbia's and Yukon's winters have been the greatest tests for my jeep - snow is not a problem - this little 4x4 goes anywhere.

The paint is starting to fade now; got a bit of surface rust going on... looks like I may need to consider leaf springs and that darn catalytic converter soon...

Maybe the guy spinning wheels on the lawn needs some cool, over-sized knobby tires and a creek bed or mine road to play on instead of his front lawn!

Love my jeep!
