General Comments:

I bought this car on an as seen basis at the roadside, without it being started up as the battery was flat. After a jump start and a drive home of 5 miles, I thought my worst fears were coming true. However, when my mechanic got to grips with the vehicle, bingo, I had struck gold.

I paid £750 for this car, and it's now everything I dreamed of.

I know the fuel consumption is poor, but this is offset by the driving experience and comfort. I also know that it will be heavy on maintenance costs, but was aware of this before purchase.

I would like to have one of these Cherokees also, but in 4.0 litre guise, which is the only decent engine that can be had in them, other than the diesels, which are anything but decent. I just could not afford the high teens or very low 20s MPG that they are just about capable of achieving. Even if I could find an LPG converted one, they would still be too heavy on juice to afford to run. That's a shame as I really like the nice "not over the top" classic rugged American styling, which has long since gone.

Summary:

Buy a Euopeen Made Jeep

Faults:

Brake rotors warped a few times... I brake to hard - too often.

One piston disintegrated at 60K miles.

General Comments:

I'm Europe, Jeep Grand Cherokees are made in Sweden. We get a three year full warranty in the price and can extend it to five years. This has made my GC very cheap to run... cheaper than my last family saloon.

The build quality is very good and appears better than rental models I've experience stateside.

So guys, is it Jeep who have quality problems, or just Jeep USA?

Oh no, Jeep Grand Cherokee is not made in Sweden. Maybe you mean Switzerland?

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 V8

Summary:

Too many problems for a high end car

Faults:

Front ABS sensor failed - 17k

Front driver seat heating pad failed - 20k

Front two rotors warped - 24k

Rear left passenger door locking system failed 23k

Rear differential noise on turning (fixed twice now back again) 14k, 20k and 29k.

General Comments:

A very comfortable car to drive, it can pull a trailer, climb hills, eat up motorway miles, turn heads and offer safety for the kids. But it leaves me worried, and never sure what will break next. So a warranty is a must.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0

Summary:

A great comfy stylish 4X4

Faults:

According to the dealer something on the rear suspension was worn so they replaced it under warranty on its first service.

General Comments:

This is my second Grand Cherokee and is a vast improvement on the first model. I still consider this car to be an excellent alternative to the ultimate 4x4, the Range Rover, with the added attraction of a $20k saving!

If Chrysler would only get the brakes sharpened then this would be about as good as it gets for the money.
