2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Jeeps are highly durable and, if you overlook some irritating defects, is a good brand to go with"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheating when idle.
Power window regulators broke.
Hood hydraulics not functioning.
General comments?
The 'overheats while idle' issue was caused by a faulty radiator fan motor, which in turn shorted out the radiator fan relay switch, which is located under the passenger-side headlight. In order to fix this issue, you must replace both the radiator fan motor/assembly as well as the relay switch at the same time. :)
