2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado review from North America
"Comfortable, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leased this car for four years.
Disc brakes warped at 19,000 miles which were not under warranty (finally got refund of repair through class action suit).
Replaced power steering unit (covered).
Valve in transmission failed at 38,000 miles cost $400 to replace - not under warranty.
Got a 'deal' to purchase the car with extended warranty (did not cover repairs 100%).
Had power steering unit replaced again $$.
Had alternator replaced $$.
Had fan clutch replaced $$
Had gas gauge replaced $$$.
Had drivers side window motor replaced $.
Had oil pressure gauge replaced $.
Had back seals replaced $$.
Etc., Etc.
Now that the warranty is up, my driver's seat track breaks like those mentioned before.
General comments?
We like the comfort of the car, just unreliable.
Will probably go with Honda next time - had 3 with no problems.
