1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2WD, LE review from North America
"Love it when all works well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My interior lights including overhead, dash, and the exterior lights began flashing on and off unexpectedly last night.
Horn alarm went off without intrusion to car at 75000 miles.
Paint on front bumper and hood is oxidizing from excessive heat generated by engine.
Locks on all doors do not automatically lock when key fob is used. Doors often remain open and unlocked and won't open without manual key insertion to open doors. Alarm system however, works without problem if door is accidently opened before system is disengaged.
General comments?
Enjoy driving the car and have maintained regular maintenance.
V-8 engine is a serious plus for driving in Arizona heat.
