Summary:

Comfortable, but somewhat reliable car

Faults:

Rotors need to be turned every 6 months or replaced after a year.

Water pump replaced at 70,000 miles.

Most of the doors are not locking correctly. "Goose like" sound when using the remote to close door.

Differential needs constant maintenance, very tricky. Cost me over $800 for a rebuild.

Red tail light went out and had to be replaced.

General Comments:

Good vehicle and somewhat reliable SUV, except for the minor problems mentioned above.

Door locking mechanism needs to recalled, and so do the brake rotors.

I have a '99 Grand Cherokee Laredo, and have had it for 2.5 years. I bought it with 64K, and now it's at 114K. In that 50,000 miles, during which I gave it routine proper maintenance, I have encountered:

Rotor warping (two needed replaced, just a few months after getting grooved). Need to replace other two.

Rear latch attenuator (lock) made the 'goose' sound when tried to lock. Had to get it replaced.

Rear differential needed overhaul. Pricey fix.

Front drive-shaft broke. Huge cost to fix.

A/C has leakage, and may need major fix.

Now the front differential or some other bearings up front are bad, which may run into the thousands.

Plus, transfer case seals are going bad, other engine seals may need replaced... what on Earth is Jeep doing in terms with quality control??? I like the Grand Cherokee, but if workmanship and materials are so sub-standard that their product has major issues just five years after production, then I fear I may just have to consider another carmaker that takes a little more pride in what they put out... this constant nickel-and-dime maintenance is ridiculous.

There is absolutely nothing bad that I can say about this wonderful Jeep.

The handling on and off road is great.

I had a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport before this one and Jeep showed huge improvements, I must add that I was not happy to sell the old one.
