1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
If I turn the engine off before turning the headlights out, the headlights stay on until I turn it to on position again and then back to off. WEIRD, but not really a problem.
Most recently it has been hot and I have been running my AC a lot. My Jeep started to smell weird, smoldering in the heat. I went to look for the problem and when I lifted up my driver's side floormat, it was completely soaked and had some mold growing under it. It still seems to be leaking a little but I don't know where from and why. Any suggestions? My guess is that an AC hose is cracked or something. If I remember to turn off the AC before parking, it doesn't seem to be that bad.
General comments?
Overall, if anything were seriously wrong with this Jeep, I would trade it in on a brand new one with an extended warranty because I love it so much. This is a great, reliable vehicle even if it has a few minor quirks. I bought it used and could not expect a better car.
