1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"An excellent 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake rotor recall.
Serpentine belt went at 50,000 miles.
Squeaking noise when turning.
Gas tank had some problems early on with a valve.
Some squeaking and noises when going over rough terrain... probably to be expected.
Some minor paint flaws and a little bit of "bubbling" starting to occur.
General comments?
I really like the Jeep Cherokee Sport and it is a disappointment that they are no longer producing them. The Liberty will never be as popular no matter what Jeep tries.
Comfort for the driver is excellent. If you are a passenger in the rear however, you will not be the happiest camper!
