1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America

The window on the rear lift gate is mildly temperamental about when it wants to open. Some days it opens easily, some days, not so much.

The hood support rods don't work anymore, and are due for replacement.

This morning I lost the center cap from my front passenger wheel.

It is time to replace the brakes and rotors (I hear this awful squealing when I apply the brakes, and my car pulls to the left and shudders a little).

Other than the four (relatively) minor issues previously mentioned, I have been exceedingly happy with my Jeep. There is plenty of room for my kids, for groceries, for school books, backpacks, etc.

The interior of my Jeep is still in very good condition except for two small cracks on the driver's armrest. The carpet and upholstery hold up very well to the "abuse" that three rugged children dish out on a daily basis. A twice weekly vacuuming and once or twice monthly shampooing are all it takes to keep it looking great.

I love the fact that when the kids aren't with me, I can fold down the back seat and have tons of room for hauling home groceries. Even with the seat in place, there is room for all of our fishing poles, tackle boxes, the kids life jackets, a cooler, and anything else we might need for a day of fishing.
