2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic from North America - Comments

"Jeep Cherokee is a timeless classic that still out performs all others"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This is my third consecutive Jeep Cherokee. I had a Basic 92 Cherokee and then a 94 Sport. There were no failures on these two except normal maintenance. The first six months I owned the 2001 Classic, I was battling with a check engine warning light and many trips to the dealership for attempts to correct it. The problem involved the gas tank pressurization. The dealer replaced a number of fuel system parts, including the tank pump and then even the gas tank itself.

After nearly going to arbitration against the dealer to get the Jeep replaced, a regional Chrysler Mechanic discovered the problem was the cars brain or black box was faulty and generating random error codes.

That was replaced and I have not had a problem since.

General comments?

Even with the glitch mentioned above, the 2001 Cherokee Classic is still a fine vehicle.

The off road performance is second to none.

The 4 Liter Engine is nearly bullet proof.

Still the best styled SUV out there. Traditional rugged good looks.

Get rid of the Liberty, bring back the Classic Cherokee line of Jeeps.

I agree with you. The Cherokee is much better than the Liberty. It looks like they cut off about half the vehicle. It's almost a girly looking SUV now...
