2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd review from North America
"Needs a complete overhaul and better, long lasting quality parts used, plus a better protection plan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater blower motor x 2.
Heater resistor board; 2 months to get in by dealership.
Seat heaters, driver and passenger.
Driver power window motor.
Evaporator coil for heater.
Door on heater that changes directional flow.
Transmission, 2nd gear.
General comments?
Well I have always wanted a Grand Cherokee. I liked the looks. Did not know many others have had nightmares very similar to mine. Some have not surfaced, yet.
Now the Grand Cherokee is a wonderful, comfortable ride.
Repairs are numerous and costly.
I'll never buy another Jeep Grand Cherokee again. Not for that kind of money.
I would never pay extended warranty price.
I would lease one just for repair coverage. You save a lot of money in the long run, and less headaches cause they give you a decent loner.
There is no reason why one of the big three manufacturers should be turning their backs on the many Cherokee, Laredo owners.
This is why they are having deep pocket problems.
They pay the executives way too much salary and bonuses.
Foreign made vehicles are climbing to the top with more sales and customer service responsibility in the excellent range.
Great vehicle inside and out, but poor quality and service.
