1996 Jeep Cherokee LTD review from UK and Ireland
"If only it wasn't flawed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor dashboard electrics.
Ball joint fell out of track rod - fortunately when traveling slowly.
Rocker gasket failed resulting in oil in the footwell.
Rear differential noisy.
Gearbox noisy.
General comments?
Well appointed, interior stands up to hard use.
Surprisingly frugal, and good performance from the TD engine. But the engine is agricultural (noisy), gearbox rumbled between 1500 - 2000 rpm.
Spares are very expensive.
