1996 Jeep Cherokee Laredo review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door central locking latch motor not working.
Drivers seat belt not pulling out properly.
Back window wiper not working.
Right hand drive, so hood latch is on the left hand side.
Not economical for around town.
Hi/Lo ratio not engaging properly.
Hard lock turn tends to shutter a bit like the diff is locking up.
Expensive parts.
General comments?
I've had this car only three weeks, and have had all these faults on it. Apart from the 'Faults' this car is extremely comfortable to drive and to ride in.
Plenty of power when you need it, awesome down at the river on the rocks... BIG rocks... for such a luxury family car.
But I'm seriously considering selling it because of the cost to run. Petrol here in New Zealand is $1:83 per litre at present. May hit $2:00 by Christmas. Other than that, a very nice looking car, and nice to drive.
