1989 Jeep Comanche Reviews - Page 5 of 6

Rust started on the bed due to old age.

Emergency brake, broke.

This Jeep has been equipped with a 4.0L engine, so you know that it won't die easily.

Absolutely amazing off road and in snow on the roads, never got stuck once.

Being an older model, it is very easy to customize, both inside and outside.

Never have had any real problems with it, have to clean out the fuel injectors, but that happens on all engines.

At 90,000 miles my transmission had some problems. New transmission screen, cost me $22.00.

Had to get new brakes, no big deal.

One thing I don't like about my Comanche is that the windshield cracked (too thin in my book). My fault.

Heater problems, on vent setting it will pump out air if you don't push the gas, push gas and it goes to defrost. Heat (feet) does not even work now.

So only defrost works.

Bench seat sucks bad.

Passenger window handle broke.

My Comanche kind of drinks the gas, don't get the wrong idea about it, it's my fault, I need to do a tune up job on it. 5 Bucks in gas gives me less than 1/4 tank, so about 2 1/2 hours of stop and go traffic.

All this is getting fixed as I write this.

No 4 wheel drive, but my transmission has a comfort and power setting.

This is my first rig and it had to be jeep.

When it comes down to it, I would rather have a jeep than any besides a Chevy truck I think.

It is a great first rig. I have fun every time I get in it, and a lot of tickets. But hey what can you do when you're having a blast in your jeep.

My family has a Lincoln Town Car, 77 Ford van, 93 Pontiac Sunbird 2door, 93 4door Sunbird, and a 99 Dodge Mini van, all have broke down before my 89 Jeep Comanche. Damn good truck.

Transmission went out on it, but that's because I beat the crap out of it.

Alternator.

Lots of electrical problems.

Bed rusts easily.

This is the greatest mid size truck ever. The 4.0 is the best motor. Lots of power and torque. This motor will never die. My friend has one with 160,000 miles and it runs like it's new.

If you ever have the opportunity to drive one or purchase one, definitely try it. If Jeep came back out with one I'd be the first to buy it. Most reliable truck I've had (engine wise).
