1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport TD review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too numerous to list, I'll give you just a few:
Oil feed pipe to head cracked - replaced TWICE.
New turbo due to faulty EGR valve oil leak.
Timing case cover oil leak - one week old.
Rear springs replaced 140,000kms sagged.
Door trims and interior lights falling off etc
I could keep going for some time but I'm sure you have already worked out how I feel about this junk box.
General comments?
Not very happy with the result from Jeep Australia when I wrote to them explaining my problem.
Sorry to upset any people who actually like their Jeep.
