2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Overall the Jeep was made with a very poor design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first fault we had with our 2000 Grand Cherokee Jeep Laredo was the water pump.
Found out not only the water pump was bad, but so was the thermostat housing. We had to change both out.
Next we had to change fuel pump three times.
Next we had to change the crank sensor. We thought it was the fuel pump causing the jeep to shut off, but it was the crank sensor.
Then changed the fuel pump once more because it was the fuel pump that we bought from an auto store that was bad.
Then we had to take the jeep to the dealership to get the driver side locking mechanism and window roll down switch replaced. ($550)
Then we had to change out the fan motor, found out that wasn't the problem, so we changed out the relay. That fixed the problem.
Then the coolant light continuously came on and coolant was disappearing.
Most recently had to buy a new radiator, because the old radiator started leaking, then pouring.
The tail lights have also given us problems on and off throughout the years.
We also are going to soon have to replace the shift sensor.
Now, although our Jeep is paid off, we are looking into purchasing a new vehicle.
We agree with the other comments that a RECALL needs to be made on these vehicles.
General comments?
Car is roomy and luxurious.
Drives good when everything is working properly.
