1998 Jeep Cherokee Rubicon review from Netherlands
"Great!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS-system was tuned-up after a recall of Daimler-Chrysler: it was fixed under warranty of the manufacturer.
The battery is replaced at 75,000 miles. At approx. the same time the ring of the after part of the exhaust broke: replacing was costly, due to rust. The airconditioning compressor broke down at 100,000 miles; at that fix the complete system was fitted up and also filled with new R134A. At 115,000 miles the -original!- front discs were replaced. Not bad at all for a car of nearly 6 years of age!
General comments?
The Cherokee is handsome on it self and is handy too. Not to big and it has space enough for a family. It pleases as a towing-vehicle as well. In quite heavy terrain it performs well. At all: a great car with 'the right looks'.
