2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"Great truck all around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clogged up the air intake driving on the beach and the engine misfired and stalled, but it was easy enough to clean out the gunked up air filter.
Removing of any suspension parts require a few days worth of spraying with wd-40 or else the bolt heads will break off and need to be tapped out.
Leaf springs in the rear sag a bit from towing, making the truck ride slightly nose high, but I'll fix it soon myself.
And who used tape decks in 2001?
General comments?
Comfortable front seats, uncomfortable back seats, but I never sit back there.
Very, very quick for a stock SUV.
I enjoy the non-disconnecting front axle that engages with 4 wheel drive. It's much better than other 4 wheel drive with open differentials in the front and back.
Factory fog lights are nice to have.
Rear wiper is nice, never thought I would need it until I had one.
Never experienced a problem I couldn't fix myself. It's a Jeep thing.
