2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado review from North America

Window regulators in 3 of the 4 power windows, all after the warranty had expired. $250 ea replaced myself.

Fuel pump twice at 65,000 and 105,000, not under warranty $500 a pop.

Crankshaft sensor 1200 miles, fixed under warranty.

Voltage regulator 1200 miles fixed under warranty.

ECM computer 1200 miles under warranty.

The left tail light blowes about every 500 miles no matter what I do. Keep several on hand.

I'v gone thru about 5 gas caps, they don't pass inspection for more than a few years.

Air conditioner needs a can of coolant about once a month, leak to small to find.

Parking brake cable stretched over time and failed inspection after 5 years.

Check engine light stays on most of the time because of a small vacumn leak that no one can find.

Engine dies once and a while but always starts back up, no one can duplicate the problem so I just live with it.

Jeep rides vary good and is vary quite on the highway.

Gets 21 mpg most of the time on the highway.

Tows pretty good lots of torque and handles a trailer better than you would expect.

Jeep is pretty tough, has not developed a lot of rattles or noise over the years.

Still looks pretty good.

Suspension and body are vary tight and appear like they will hold up for a long time.

This thing is paid for and every mile I get out of it os money in the bank so that is why I continue to drive and work on this thing, if I was paying for it it would be traded in by now, if I couldn't do most of the work on it myself it would be gone. It's just to convienent a vehicle to get rid of right now. You can take the family out to dinner, take the boat to the lake and not worry about getting back up the boat ramp, go to the lumber yard in it, commute and take trips on the highway. I just wish it was built with better parts and didn't need worked on all the time.
