1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport from North America - Comments

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.

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.

I can honestly say I do not know where you would get that the jeep is a gas hog. My jeep I filled up and went on a road trip that was 478 miles and it was barely on a ? of a tank. I also own a 1998 jeep Cherokee 4.0. however do you have the in-line six? or the 4 cylinder? You may e-mail me at warren87401@hotmail.com.

No doubt, Jeeps are gas hogs. Just look at the EPA rating.

I bought my Jeep 2 months ago with 150,000 miles on it. It is in perfect condition. No leaks, problems, etc.

It sucks gas big time!.. I put a cat-back exhaust system on it... since then I get approx 14mpg in city and 21 highway.. It is a bullet-proof motor. I just worry about the cooling system, as living in San Diego the secondary fan keeps coming on.. My coolant has been flushed and changed, however that fan keeps coming on. Also, when I park, after the A/C has been on... the water that drops off of the A/C unit is amazing.. id have to put it at close to a gallon. (a line of water about 30ft long) Is this something to be worried about?..

Please if anyone knows, email me : haggisgood2001@yahoo.com.

I would like to discuss vehicle history, probs, etc.

Thanks.

I have a 98 jeep Cherokee sport with a stick shift and I can usually average around 19 in the city and 25-26 mpg on the highway depending on my speed.

I have a 1994 jeep sport, yes, I also get a lot of water coming down from the A/C... it's actually weird. As far as gas it's not the best, not the worst. The thing I disslike the most is the ride, it's very shaky..
