2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"I love Jeeps and I'm very fond of them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've got the car just before Christmas in 2007. After the 1st week the Malfunction light came on. I took it back to my dealership. They reset the computer and said it might be the gas cap not tightened well enough. About 1 week later the light came on again, this time they replaced my fuel cap. Since this occurrence the light came on two more times. Supposedly they replaced the purge valve and the evaporation sensor. When I picked up my car yesterday I noticed that they disabled the malfunction light period... It is supposed to come on for about a second when you start the car, well it does not lit up at all.
General comments?
I used to own 1 Wagoner and 2 Cherokees before this car. All cars had over 250000 miles on them.
The Grand Cherokee runs great even though the light was on. Handling on the road is excellent. Very comfortable to drive. I have the SLT package.
The car is Select-A-Track.
It is a little bit discouraging reading about the transmission problems. Breaks in my opinion will go bad after a while no matter what you drive.
I trust my instinct that if anything will go bad I'll notice it in performance/mileage etc. My husband knows how to fix these cars so hopefully we won't have to spend too much fixing any issues.
