2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 liter review from North America
"I would rather have a Yugo!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 2001 Jeep Cherokee has a common problem that nobody is able to solve. I've read on-line that surging is a common problem with my model truck.
I will be driving at a steady speed and the truck will just start surging, it feels like and sounds like it is down shifting while the tachometer holds and then drops.
I have spent over $2,000 on this problem, and everyone is willing to guess at the problem at my cost, I've no replace the whole a/c system, fuel pump and filters, transmission fluid and filter, spark plugs 2x. Next on the mounting list of things to be done is the mass air flow sensor is to be cleaned and the purge sensor replaced and that's gonna be at least another $100. I now have a sign in my window ready my Jeep is a Lemon to warn the public about this injustice!
General comments?
Jeep is not all it's cracked up to be.
