1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"A waste of time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My under body started to spring leaks all over the place. I mean every seal, gasket etc. This happened 3,000 miles after purchase. $3,600 covered by Warranty. 63,000 miles.
My interior lighting went crazy, off and on, and on and off. 2 Dealers later and no effort to find problem and no solution at this point. 70,000 miles.
Power windows in back seat have gone down on their own. Very concerned with electrical system at this point. Getting electrical shocks when I touch the car. Dealer says nothing wrong. 74,000 miles.
Transmission went at 76,000 miles. $2,000 fix.
Engine knock and believed Engine rod problem. I don't even want to know. 80,000 miles. For Sale.
