2001 Jeep Cherokee Laredo review from North America

Well, we bought our 2001 Jeep due to the fact that our 2001 Ford Explorer was total in a auto accident. We bought from a dealer that told us it was an one owner vehicle and had all the maintenance records with it form previous owner. We check on car fax and it was a clean title. There seem to be no damage and vehicle ran very well. After the purchase we got home and found out the the rear hatchback door didn't lock. We took it back to the dealer and they fixed it. They installed a new rear door lock switch. Works perfect.

About 3 months later an emissions light comes on took it to the dealer. They told us it need an evap sensor. That was about $150.00 to replace. Drove car home, and on the way the same light came on. Hmmm, took it back to dealer again. The dealer told us that it was another evap canister that was under the fender of the vehicle; another $350.00 to fix that.

Drove the car home the emissions light came on again. OK so now I am getting upset, went back to the dealer and they said there is nothing wrong. Reset the light and gave us a full tank of gas. The light stayed off for until the gas tank got down to 1/2 a tank. So this time I took it to a local repair shop. They told me the same thing the dealer told me; you have to two things wrong.

Evap canister needs to be replaced, and evap sensor are bad. He showed me the canister; it was very old and looked rusty. So it was never replaced. Got taken my the dealer. So I paid them another $350, drove the vehicle home, not more than 30 minutes, the stupid light is on. I can't believe this.

Beware if you have this problem. I went to Pep Boys and had them check my brakes. Nothing wrong and I told the tech that worked on my vehicle about all the problems I had. He told me hold on he checked the codes that came up and told me that the evap canister and sensor were bad according to the codes. Then he told me this happens a lot with all vehicles.

He sold me a new gas cap and told me that the seal on the cap was bad and gas vapors were leaking, and that would cause the emission light to come on and give false readings on the code. Well 6 months has gone by and no light. Thanks Pep Boys, I will return to their service for all my needs. Watch out for this problem and don't get taken like I did. But it is an awesome vehicle to own!!!

Well, first of all this vehicle looks great. Has great pickup and you can go off road where no man has gone before.

Handles well on the high ways, and for being a SUV it does get 27 miles per gallon on the highway. We took this vehicle to the Smokey Mountains and had no problem climbing the very steep roads. In the city we have been averaging about 21 miles per gallon.

If your looking for a used SUV, I highly recommend this vehicle. Looks good, runs goods, it is all good.
