2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"Attractive, but too many problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump has gone bad twice.
The hood struts have been replaced and are bad again.
The blower for the heat and A/C is broken.
Both front windows are broken.
There is a ticking noise in the motor upon starting the car and while idling.
Sharp turns create a horrendous groaning noise.
Check engine light is constantly on.
And now my trunk won't stay open.
General comments?
I am sure there are other things I am forgetting. It is such a shame that these cars have so many problems, because they are good looking cars. We fortunately haven't had to spend too much money on it because my husband has done all of the work himself, but it is such a hassle.
FYI: Make sure your keys are completely out of the ignition before opening your gas cap. This will prevent your check engine light coming on.
