1991 Jeep Cherokee Limited review from North America
"Dependable SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front speed sensors needed to be replaced.
Front Axel and universal joints replaced at 225000km.
The water pump was leaking and was replaced at 240000km as well as belt tension adjuster.
The master seal has been replaced because of a small leak.
The fuel pump periodically leaked so it was replaced.
The brakes are done every 60000km, the tires every 80000km.
There is a small amount of rust starting to show and the finish on the wheels needs to be redone.
The leather is immaculate and the power seats work like they are new.
General comments?
This truck is old, but still runs like a top. I drive it every day and it always gets me where I am going.
The maintenance costs for the vehicle have been reasonable. Most of the maintenance has been found during normal oil changes and mileage checks.
I have two other newer vehicles (a 1994 convertible Mustang and a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan) but this is by far my favorite vehicle. I call it my baby and love the way it drives and handles.
I am going to take it into the body shop at the end of the summer and have all the rust spots taken care of and get it repainted. I have no doubt that it will run to 400000km.
