My fiance and I recently (Oct 2006) bought a Jeep Cherokee Sport 2001, and we have had nothing, but a nightmare from about two weeks after purchase.
The dealership set up our insurance (thought it was okay, got in an accident) and found that instead of the full coverage we thought we were getting, we only had liability. This accident was less than two weeks later.
After a nightmare of a time, we got the dealership to fix it.
Noticing some slight shaking.
Last night, my fiance was stuck about 45 minutes from home in the parking lot of his work, the key wouldn't turn.
Stood outside til 11 pm trying to get a friend to fix it.
Going back today to try tapping on the key (we left it with a little WD-40 in the key hole).
Hopefully it will work as we need that jeep to get us back and forth!!!
Also, has anyone noticed a squeaking in the area of their left front tire when going about 55 mph?
This isn't necessarily a poor vehicle... just not great either.
Can't help with the other issues, but the key problem might be due to the steering lock.
If the steering wheel is hard over against the lock, then this will prevent the key from turning or being extracted. If you move the wheel away from the lock you should be able to turn the key, release the lock, and start the engine.
How is you getting into an accident and it not being fixed correctly, or being fixed fine but having other issues, Jeep's fault?
