Faults:

Transmission clunks in reverse, rear windshield washer broke the second day I owned it. Plastic interior started to fall apart, center counsel broke the second month. Oil pressure meter goes crazy when idle, mechanic says it's normal.

General Comments:

This truck is amazing in the off road environment, it can handle anything.

This is the most expensive vehicle I have ever owned, anything goes wrong your at least $2000 to fix.

Gas millage is the worst I have ever seen.

The All Time 4 Wheel Drive on this model is horrible, you get about 400 K to a full tank of gas! and it costs about $55.00 at 69.9c a L.

Faults:

First off, I'm a Jeep fan only. I do not like Mopar, but technically I'm a fan as well (Jeep is mostly Mopar).

Upon purchasing the vehicle dealer replaced: power antenna, rear lift gate shocks, and driver's side seat belt.

Within one one after purchase, the dealer paid Ammco for a transmission rebuild. I became alarmed when the transmission began shifting back and forth from second to third. Ammco discovered metal shaving were already in transmission pan. Now, it still doesn't shift quite right. It tend to stay in second a bit longer than it needs to.

About a month after the transmission, the air condition began blowing warm. Took it back to be serviced and my warranty company replaced the exhaust manifold (cracked), A/C compressor, and dryer.

Leather steering wheel is in absolute horrible shape, leather seats are in very good shape for its age.

General Comments:

With engine being completely stock I am getting reasonable gas mileage on the highway (21MPG @ 75MPH, 23MPG @ 60MPH). City gas mileage significantly less fruitful (average 16-17MPG). Engine is very torque rich, but accleration is less than expected. Despite my negatives, the straight six is by far the best engine choice (a V8 was also offered). Ask any mechanic, the I-6 is a workhorse engine that without doubt will go 200,000+ miles (this is biggest reason why I purchased).

Handling is good compared to similar sport utility vehicles. Vehicle has perhaps the best ground clearance in its class.

Options and features are incredible for the price! In 1995 this vehicle offered quite a few options that were difficult to find (heated side mirrors). The car almost drives itself for you.

This is my worse vehicle investment so far. My best after-market investment is by far the extended warranty. The transmission rebuild was $2,000, and compressor/ exhaust manifold replacement ran to $1700. In comparison my warranty was $899 (3yr/36) with no repair deductibles!

Faults:

A/C leaked water into the rear front and rear passenger side floorboards. Easy fix with an intelligent mechanic.

Exhaust manifold split 135000 miles $$.

Water pump went out, 140000 miles, to be expected.

Transmission slipped and had other problems, fixed that with a basic transmission servicing.

Radiator leaked (I think caused by a fender bender).

Motor mount disintegrated at 150000 miles.

General Comments:

With basic maintenance this Jeep didn't have any major problems for the first 100000 miles!!

With a little TLC I expect this vehicle to last another 100000 miles or more.

The cargo area is a little cramped.

But the cab is roomy and comfortable.

This has recently become my off-road vehicle and it is a true mountain goat.

There are plenty of modifications for it to improve its off road-ability as well as improve its on road manners.

Well where do I start? The first day I had this truck it failed to start, took it to the dealer where I got it, they replaced the fuel pump, at no cost to me. Today, after returning from store and going in the house for a few minutes, the truck doesn't start again. Now since the fuel pump has been replaced, I figure that it's not the fuel pump giving me the problem, maybe the gas gauge is off?? I will find out on Monday when it's towed back to the dealer for a check up.

Power windows don't know if they want to be up or down, they can all be controlled from the driver side, most of the time. Passenger window doesn't go down sometimes, and I have to reach over and put it down myself.

I have a slight tapping sound in the engine that sounds like a lifter needs to be adjusted, but no one at the dealer hears this at all, Myself, I can hear it a mile away.

General Comments:

This is a great truck, it has plenty of power, when it runs, and handles nice, you feel safe in this vechicle. On the other hand, the gas milage sucks...
