"Never say die durable 4X4"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

AC blew, needs a recharge.

General comments?

This JEEP hauled me to work for 10 years. I racked up 274K+, and after all the bad reviews that are posted here, here's a RAVING GOOD REVIEW for the Jeep Cherokee.

Inside held up just fine, the engine is still strong after all those miles, 4X4 was always reliable, interior was tough and is still nice looking. Some rust on the undercarriage, but hey, after 10 years that's OK.

Sold it for $2,500, bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee that will hopefully be just as good.

I have a Jeep Cherokee Laredo and it's a 91 with Super Swamper Radials all the way around. It has 200,000 and it's a beast from hell!

I own a 1992 Cherokee Laredo with 219,000 miles on it. I don't know what kind of tires they are, but they get me where I need to go and in a hurry. The transmission is in good shape and the 4X4 still rocks. I've had to replace the regular parts and a few that most people won't have to deal with, but it's been through some rough treatment so it wasn't surprising. All in all it's been great.

I purchased my 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo on December, 1989. Now with 180,000 miles and over 16 years old, it still runs and looks great. Keeping it garaged and changing oil every 3000 miles has helped keep it in great shape. All major components are original and still work well. The usual things like brakes, plugs, belts, etc, were replaced by me over the years. But overall, replacement parts & repairs have few and far between.

As a volunteer fire police officer, I have to go out under all kinds of weather, both on and off road. The Jeep has never failed me. I almost wish it would really break-down so I could buy a new One, but it looks like it going to be around for several more years. (It might outlast me-I'm in my seventies).

I bought my 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo in 2000,for $2000 6 years later and it's still kickin, but not without some scraped knuckles, lets see... The headliner fell down, had a gas leak, blew a head gasket @ 135k, replaced valve cover and all hoses, serpentine belt, starter, rebuilt the motor, replaced Throttle Position Sensor, Crankshaft Position Sensor, almost all sensors... put on a Super -Ride Rubicon suspension, replaced the brake lines and the rotors, calipers, the rear brakes too... replaced electronic fuel sender and much much more, some Transmission something switch keeps it from starting...sometimes...I love my Jeep, but then again a coat of paint and some re-upholstery it would be almost new... when it starts!

I own a 1990 jeep laredo most the time it runs like a charm, the transmission slips in between first and second gear. a lot of people I know have this problem, but yet it doesn't do it all the time. i don't think the transmission needs replaced, but maybe a part of some kind in the transmission.it's a automatic. can you help? thanks, kassy.

I have owned my 1997 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo since 1999 and have never had anything of any expense or inconvenience go wrong with it. Our local jeep dealer is responsive to questions. I am often on call for surgery and being called in on winter nights has never been a problem, it is sure footed to drive and nice and warm to drive through the ice and snow. I promised it to my son when he turns 16 and that time is nearly here. I regret that promise, especially after trying out an x-5 BMW yesterday and only getting 30 miles before that developed problems. I was grateful to return that vehicle to the dealership after much stalling at red lights, got back in my jeep and left. I am going back to my jeep dealership and look at the new jeeps this week.

I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 148 K runing like brand new. I already did full remodeling expending 4,000. I love it more tham my another Jeep Cherokee 2005. Both are black ones. The 97 is great and strong. The 2005 has a beatifull design and performance. Really Jeeps are my passion. Excellency, reliability, lasting, confort, security. JEEP the best.

I have a 1990 Cherokee, and except for a steering column and a U joint in the front axle, it was the best $100.00 I ever spent.

I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. bought it in 2004 for $3000 and have done a lot of work on it, only because I love this thing and want to keep it going for another 20 years!

Replaced shocks, ball joints, tie rods, steering stabilizer, pads, rotors, calipers, shoes, drums, exhaust system, all new fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, starter, and probably some more I have forgot to list.

The next thing is the paint job because it has starter to flake on the roof and the hood, and rust is starting to show through. Other than that, and the fuel smell I keep having in the cab, I love the damn thing. 310000 km/s.

December 8th 2008.

My parents bought me a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo for 1200 dollars in May of last year. I have put 3000 miles on it since then.

It now has 212,000 miles on it and it can still squeal tires. Oh, and the 4x4 rocks like a brand new one, and the transmission is still the original.

These are tough little Jeeps and they are awesome.

I own a 1990 Jeep Laredo. Paid 1500 for it in excellent condition. Only problem I've had is the steering column - sometimes the 4 wheel drive won't engage. Other than that, 267.000 miles on it and still running strong.
