2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Needed more recalls for it from the factory"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 2000 Grand Cherokee worries me as well. I love the look and it is very fun to drive.
At 60,000 miles the water pump went out, followed by both front tweeters and both window motors up front. The brakes shimmy when you come to a stop and replaced 2 times already and shimming again about 2 months after the last fix. At the present time at about 50-55 miles an hour the steering wheel shakes as if the tires are out of balance and I had them rebalanced 2 months ago and now it is back doing the same thing. At 71,000 miles one of the coil packs went out and that was 200.00.
Now at 80,000 miles the driver seat motor is going out and you have to purchase the whole bottom adjuster?. The door when opened makes a very loud popping sound where something is wore out already and I learned this was a common problem with Jeeps that costs 175.00 to fix and that was 1 year ago. I did learn with my Jeep to let it warm up a few minutes before you take off in it or the transmission will shift hard in the summer and winter. The rubber door seals on the top of both back doors do leak if you go through a car wash.
I would love to have a new Grand Cherokee, but this makes me want to go back to a Mitsubishi.
