1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4DR review from North America
"All around OK car, could be better on the wallet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump blew March last year.
Both rear speakers popped after their first month of use.
Constant clunking noise in the front driver's side suspension, dealer of course cannot locate or repair it.
O2 & Cam sensors replaced.
No other engine problems whatsoever.
General comments?
I love the way it drives. Handles like a car, pulls hard like a small V-8, good interior space, although the back doors are a little too small. I wish it was a little better on gas though.
The "Sport Package" roof speakers are a joke. This model came without CD also, disappointing.
It seems that the previous owner may have got it into an accident, alignment is never steady for long, and there is always a noise coming from the front end which cannot be traced.
