2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America

I have owned my jeep for over 4 years\60K miles and it has held up very well except for a few minor problems.

The engine light came on at 25K miles, so I took it back to the dealer and they told me it was a miss-fire problem in cylinder #1. The engine light came back on 3 more times after that and every time I took it back to the dealer because it was still under warranty.

The dealer finally told me the truth about the engine light coming on. They told me it was an engineering defect and nothing could be done to fix it. All they could do was put a heat shield next to Cylinder #1 to keep it from over heating and causing it to miss-fire. (What BS!)

Now my Jeep is no longer under warranty the engine light has come back on again…. WHAT DO I DO? I’m not going to pay them a $100 for them to reset the engine light and tell me it’s a miss-fire problem. I could ignore the engine light if I knew it came on because of a miss-fire, but what if it came on because of a major problem.

If anybody has any ideas of what I should do, it would be very much appreciated.

Also, I read some of the reviews on Jeep Cherokees and a lot of you complained about the right front speaker not working. I found out after getting new speakers install by Car Toys that the speaker wire is ran under the carpet and it had been broken from me always stepping on it. Why they would run wire that way… I will never know.
