2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Jeep GC, not a good buy, Pass on it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission bad at Approx. 30,000. Rebuilt under Warranty...
Transmission Replaced again at about 75,000 miles. Not under warranty and cost $2000.
Replaced 2 sets of Rotors and Calipers and had approx. 4-5 brake jobs in total.
Engine light has came on years ago and stays on most of the time, but, from time to time goes off.
Currently having issues with Acceleration. Hit the gas, car sits and the RPMs hit about 2500 then it kicks in. Does this in between first and 2nd too. Funny thing is, it has been working great over the last 7-10 days and engine light is off right now. Who knows...
Replaced Actuator on rear door.
Replaced Power motor for fronts windows.
Replaced sway bar Bushings twice and they say they need to be replaced again. Makes awful noise in cold weather when going over intersections.
Took my Jeep in this week for 2 tires, they told me I need 2 tie rods and my rear axle is leaking. the estimate the gave me was $800.
General comments?
I would not buy another Jeep. I have always given car companies the benefit of doubt. Believe every car is a hit or miss, but, after reading all the articale user have posted, I have realized that Chrysler does have quality issues and this is more the norm rather than the exception.
I also have to say, for a smaller SUV, gas mileage stinks too.
