2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado review from North America
"Reliable and comfortable. will buy jeep again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver seat has started to make a clunking sound when I start and stop. also some squeaking sounds that seam to come from the springs.
The engine also makes a clunk sound when I start to accelerate.
The engine doesn't start up right away. I have to crank it for 2 seconds, turn the key to the off position and then turn it again. it starts right up. the battery and alternator passed the test. could it be the starter?
General comments?
I have replaced all 4 automatic door locks and power window motors myself. I'm not going to pay the dealer $110 an hour to do it.
I have the brake light problem: when my driving lights are on the tail lights work fine. when I brake they shut off. I don't have that problem during the day when the driving lights are off.
I have a squeak when I turn the wheel, but the dealer has done all the test, including any hydraulic issues and can't find anything. any ideas on what this may be and if it's a do it yourself project?
The fan motor and the relay both failed at the same time. unfortunately I was on my way to Disney.
