2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"For the most part, it's okay"
General comments?
I own a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, and my vehicle, like those of many individuals on this site, exhibits a rather severe front end vibration/shimmy at around 45-55mph. I was told at a local repair shop that one of the tires had a broken belt, but this wasn't the case.
Also, my key tended to get stuck in the ignition for long periods of time. I could turn the key forward and restart the engine, but after turning the engine off I could not get the key out. I realized that on my Jeep, however, it was not the ignition but a worn automatic transmission shifter. If I push the shifter for slightly forward the key comes out every time (has for about two years with no problem). While this is clearly not the cause of the ignition woes for all on this site, perhaps it may help someone.
