2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 5,000 miles I had to take it in to have the front brake rotors trued. At 10,000 the front rotors were trued again and now at 18,800 miles they need it again, but the dealership only covers them to 12,000 miles.
At 15,000 miles I had a hard time starting due to an "O-ring" break in the fuel pump causing it to have poor fuel pressure.
At 18,250 miles I had an "AIR BAG" light stay on in the dash due to a broken spring in the steering wheel.
General comments?
I am Disabled/Retired and was looking to buy a SUV that would serve the purpose for my needs and decided on the Jeep Grand Cherokee at $29,900. After having all this trouble I tried to trade it in after 1 year with a value of only $17,000. My state doesn't have the "LEMON LAW".
Very disappointed in it and think it is over priced by $28,000. It looks great from the street but taking it out of town on road trips scares me. My question is "How safe is this SUV?". Something told me that I should have stayed with GM cars!!
