1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 8 Cylinder

Summary:

A bargain all the way around

Faults:

Just a little wear on the side of the leather seats. The brakes need more repair than most cars that I have owned. Over all it is a superb vehicle. The other people that have griped about their Jeeps, should have never bought a Jeep. They are in my oppinion not Jeepers, and have no business owning one.

General Comments:

Jeeps are wonderful vehicles. Complainers should drive a Ugo, and spend their money on lap tops, or anal plugs.

Hi there,

I currently own a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport (2 door model) with the OHV V6 and am in the market for a newer more comfortable riding SUV. I have Driven several newer models such as 2002 Explorer V8, 2001 Chevy blazer, etc. and I Drove the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 V8 and instantly fell in love. I have heard lots of brake replacements are needed, but after some research and dealer questioning, I found out that a permanent fix for the rotors warping is to have after market slotted and vented rotors from the jeep dealer installed, and the high end brake pads to join the new rotors. The salesman at the dealership swore by it and gave me his word that if I were to purchase a 99-05 Grand Cherokee from them he would install it for half price and if I ever came back with a problem with the new brakes, he would take care of it free of charge and refund my money from the cost of the new rotors. So just a tip the next time your brakes need servicing look into slotted and vented rotors from the jeep dealership it just might save you some money.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6

Summary:

Great Car, bought from a great dealership

Faults:

I bought the Jeep from CarMax, which I highly recomend, When I first bought the Jeep, it was making a funny noise like an auto-tensioner was bad, well anyways I took it back to car max, and they found the auto-tensioner was indeed bad, and the water pump was also on its way out. I have driven it from Texas to Georgia, and I have put 2400 miles on it in less than a month and have had no problems with it, it rides great. I guess it all comes down to the dealer. I will never go to a traditional car dealer again, I highly recommend Car Max.

General Comments:

I read all these bad reviews about My Jeep, and honestly I am scared now. But I take care of my vehicles, because a couple of dollars extra for the premium gas, and Fully Synthetic Oil, and Good Brake Pads and Rotors. if put garbage in your vehicle then you can expect garbage out of it... I love my Jeep and I only run premium gas, and put a quart of slick 50, with 20w 50 fully synthetic motor oil, and I never had problems, same with my other vehicles.

Bottom Line, you take care of you car, and your car will take care of you...

I have always taken a lot of time and money yo keep all my vehicles perfect inside and out, but my 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited is a lemon. Too many brake problems, too many electrical problems, too many trnsmission problems. If you make a mistake and buy junk, you get junk. Never again, I'm going back to GM.

I take car of all the cars I've ever owned, including my Jeep GC Laredo. Fact is, it is a 4 wheel drive SUV. I had a Toyota Paseo as my first car that NEVER once in 85,000 miles needed new rotors. My Jeep needs them every other oil change. Face it, Chrysler put out a very poor design when it comes to the brakes. Be thankful you got lucky. (Also and FYI... if you read and follow your owners' manual it recommends NOT using premium or high octane gasoline)
