1996 Jeep Cherokee review from North America

What hasn't gone wrong with this car!

I have NO faith in Dodge/ Chrysler.

Okay, I'm sorry that I am not car savvy. But my husband wanted a Jeep so badly we never researched it at all.

It's been a good car, engine wise I mean. But all the little stuff that has nickle and dimed me to death.

So 1 year after we got this jeep, the air went out. We had it fixed, damn near replaced, and 1 year later, the same problem. The mechanic said it was common problem with Jeeps. He said I would be better off having it recharged every summer. So that's what I did.

The rear window wiper has never worked correctly! It doesn't even touch the window. Replaced that, it worked for awhile... then replacement went bad, same issue, doesn't touch the window. So I bent it.. the bar, that seemed to help little.

Now onto the major problem that I have had. My driver's side door keeps breaking. I mean I can't close it! I know it's time for a new car... but this jeep is UNSAFE! One would assume that an off road vehicle would be built better. We never even took it off road. I just think it should have been stronger... tougher.

There have been other issues... plenty of stupid little stuff. I will bury this Jeep.... it is my vow that no-one else take this Jeep and drive it. In my heart it's a death trap. So I'm off to dig a huge hole in the back yard & for the first time in my life... push a Jeep in it. <just kidding> I'll junk it, I won't sell it or trade it.
