2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Terrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee nightmare!
Purchased it in December 2007.
New transmission, water pump and serpentine belt in January. Less than 100 miles later rebuilt differential and rear wheel bearings.
Two days later lift gate actuator lock quacking. 2 days later window regulator went out.
Previous owner had the same tail light problem as everyone else mentioned. He fixed the problem by bending out the connectors. That did result in a little melting of the connector housing. The headlight covers are disgusting and I will try the sand and buffing idea from another review.
As soon as I fix all of these problems I will be selling this vehicle, as I am disgusted by all of the problems that should have resulted in manufacturer recalls!
I feel sorry for all of the JGCL owners. We all fell into the same trap of buying a nice looking SUV.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or advice mrohrbeck@cox.net
Thanks to all advice; this website was helpful. Good luck to all Jeep owners.
Melinda.
