1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic review from North America
"Bad brakes and stay away from the dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wheel hubs had to be replaced at 3000 miles.
The brakes have squeaked since we owned it. Dealer says it is normal.
Rear brake drums had to be replaced at 19,000. Due to being warped.
A clunking noise is coming from the rear of the vehicle (again) when applying the brakes at moderate speeds.
This is only to name a few problems with the brakes.
General comments?
There is obviously a problem with the brake system on this vehicle, and I am getting no help from the dealer.
The car rides good and has plenty power.
