1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"Gas Hog definitely, but dependable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The catalytic converter guts broke loose at 80000 miles and would rattle until I removed them.
Very hard on suspension and brakes. shocks have been replaced twice and brakes 4-5 times.
Air conditioning will need recharged this season because it isn't cooling right.
General comments?
This is my second Jeep I previously owned a 1989 Jeep Laredo 4.0L both vehicles have been very reliable although the gas mileage is lousy at around 15 mpg I maintain my vehicles and change oil every 3-4k miles. If you can handle the crappy mileage it's a great vehicle.
