2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes had to be resurfaced at 6,000 miles and again at 17,000 miles.
Fuel pump did not work properly, had to start the car several times to get it to turn over. Dealer replaced fuel pump gasket, but the problem still persisted.
Right front passenger window motor went out at 15,000 miles.
I finally traded the vehicle in with 17,500 miles on it. Jeep (Daimler Chrsyler) really need to focus on product quality and testing. This is a poor product that really makes you want to go out an buy an import. I traded it in for a Toyota Tacoma, and although they are made in California, I have had nor poblems whatsoever with that vehicle. Too bad I couldn't say that for Jeep.
General comments?
The brakes need to be recalled. Serious quality issues with this vehicle such as the brakes, fuel pump, and other mechanical problems.
The A/C is slow, but does the job in the long run. I love the style, but hate the reliability issues.
