2000 Jeep Cherokee Reviews - Page 30 of 31

From almost the first day I had it, the steering wheel on the Jeep shook when I traveled at over 50 MPH. After ignoring it for a couple of months, I noticed that in addition to the steering wheel, the passenger seat now shook (when empty) as well. I took it to the dealer and was told that the right front rim was bent, and was causing the shaking. I'm assuming the rim was bent before I purchased the car, as I haven't been in an accident, but I couldn't prove it to anyone so I didn't bring that up. I shelled out about $120 for a new rim and assumed all would be well. Of course, the wheel still shakes just like before. I've returned to ignoring it.

I'm leasing the car for (something slightly short of highway robbery) too much. I owed a bit on my trade in and it's been the death of me in this lease. I'd love to get out of it, but "car lease" seems to be code for temporary slavery. I give up.

So far nothing has really gone wrong with my XJ. I just had the 15,000 mile service done (a little late). The dealer changed the differential fluid front and rear, and changed the transmission fluid.

It had a small noise coming from the rear dirrerential, but after the fluid change that is gone.

I used to drive only Honda/Acura cars. I always said that if I could find an American vehicle that was as dependable as the Honda cars were, I would buy it and never sell it. After a friend bought one and my father bought a Grand Cherokee in 1998, I got a Cherokee (XJ) myself and have not turned back since.

My wife drives a 1994 Cherokee and I trust that she is safe and will be make it wherever she goes, even with 108,000 miles on the odometer! The 1997 and newer models are a great improvement while retaining the same timeless design and dependable mechanical features.

We looked at trading her 94 on another Acura and while they are nice cars, they do not have the charm and go anywhere feel that a Jeep does. We are going to purchase a 2001 Wrangler instead and stay with the Jeep line.

Wheel shakes between 50-55 MPH.

Right now in the shop for third time because there is a bad smell of gas fumes while driving. Then the check engine light goes on.

I have had this Jeep in the shop 3 times already for the same problem. They tell me things like the gas cap is not on tight or I leave my key in the on position when I am getting gas.

I own a 2000 Right Hand Drive Jeep Cherokee. The dealer was all to happy to sell me this Jeep, but now I want to sell and it's only worth about a 2/3 of what I paid for this.
