2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from UK and Ireland
"Very comfortable effortless driving, superb in snow, but very expensive to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On my latest model, nothing yet.
On my previous model, the rear wiper motor failed and had to be replaced.
The drivers heated seat packed in and Jeep wanted £700 (UK pounds) to replace it!
The battery would randomly die making starting a nightmare as the engine was immobilised electronically.
Various warning (doors, etc) would stop working or become intermittent.
General comments?
It was a very reliable vehicle and great to drive and suited my location in Northern Scotland making driving in severe weather a comfortable experience.
The parts and servicing costs are very expensive and I was quite shocked at the cost of the 60,000 mile service (over £1600 UK pounds).
The running costs are very high as fuel consumption is high.
Despite the high cost of ownership I really do love this car and 98% of the time it gives trouble free motoring and high reliability.
