2003 Jeep Cherokee CRD review from South Africa
"Jeep Cherokee is NOT worth spending money on!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From day one the vehicle had a vibration when it is driven at speeds exceeding 100km per hour. This is very irritating and is a terrible driving experience. The vehicle has been back to the dealership numerous times for repairs, but to no avail. The latest correspondence from the dealership and Daimler Chrysler is that it is a "characteristic" of this model! It is hard to believe that a premium branded product such as Jeep displays such a poor "characteristic" (Noisy and vibrates)! I was not told of this "characteristic" when I bought the vehicle. I would advise any potential buyer of this model to make sure that he or she is happy with this "characteristic", especially when you are going to spend at least two hours a day in your Jeep like I do.
General comments?
The Jeep Cherokee gives a terrible driving experience. I will not advise anyone to buy this vehicle unless you are sure that you get what you pay for. Don't let the looks and the brand deceive you, because all the positives could be overshadowed by the bad "characteristics" of the vehicle.
