1996 Jeep Cherokee review from North America
"Had some starting issues, but still it was a good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every couple of months for the last four years, my vehicle would go through a small period of time where it would not start on the first try, and I would have to put it into neutral to start it. Sometimes this would go on for a couple of days, sometimes a couple of months, and then it would just go back to normal.
Brakes got a little squeaky.
Reverse lights developed a short in 2007, and only went on sometimes.
General comments?
Overall the interior and exterior held up nicely. The car still looked nice after 12 years.
We kept it up pretty well, and we didn't have a lot of major issues.
