1999 Jeep Cherokee from North America - Comments

I own a complete LEMON.

Once I'm finally free I will never buy another Jeep for as long as I live.

Two weeks after purchasing: broken remote entry on driver side door - not covered by extensive 30-year warranty. (NOTE: none of the issues listed below were covered by this extensive, "must-have" wonderful warranty I was bullied into buying. NOTHING.)

One week later: same thing, passenger door.

First two or three years - relatively few major repairs, just bits & pieces every so often (electrical short, faulty headlight, new starter, new battery, new tires...).

Two years ago: Transmission blew.

A couple more electrical shorts.

Shocks.

Last year: New Engine - Blew a head gasket.

Check Engine light is on constantly, mechanics cannot figure out why.

A/C stopped working - got it fixed, don't know what the issue was.

This year: New Radiator - overheated, fan came apart and destroyed radiator and hoses.

Two weeks after that: New engine - I was told that the radiator overheating had cracked engine.

A/C stopped working, never bothered to get it repaired.

Detachable CD player started going on and off irregularly, never bothered to figure out why (may be the player, not the car).

Check Engine still light on constantly, mechanics still cannot figure out why.

Remote entry works about half the time.

Last week: New ignition coil.

Today: white smoke from under hood.

This car makes me cry and cry and cry.

I cannot afford to go out and finance a new car, and I am trapped throwing all of my hard-earned money at this piece of junk. I can't even put into words how much I hate the dealer. What a bunch of crooks.

I suspect your vehicle is a Grand Cherokee (as 1999 was the most problematic year for them) and I would be surprised if it was the smaller Cherokee, which tend to be very reliable vehicles.

The chick engine still on and doesn't give the codes??

Used give the code... but now doesn't give??

Can any one help me please?

Thanks.

Well, is this sled a Grand Cherokee or not?
