1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo from North America - Comments

Answering this-

"I own a 94 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Wow what junk!! I've had it for 2 yrs and have replaced everything. ECM, fuel filters, coil, ignition switch, exhaust, battery, plugs, relays, and now my steering locked up can't drive it and smoking big time!! Someone needs to tell my what this is."

So if your steering wheel is locked just step on the gas and keep going and let it go where ever it wants to go. I have the same problem as you and that's what I did.

My Sister-in-law had one of these '94 Jeep Grand Cherokees for years. It spent more time in the shop, than it did on the road. Never less than $1800-2500.00 every time! She finally traded it in on... yes, you guessed it, another Jeep. Same song and dance.

I will NEVER buy one of these. I was constantly working on it and tried to talk her out of it, but she has all the knowledge of the universe. I say if she wants to spend double the car payment on repairs, then drive a Jeep!

I am here researching for a friend who has, yes, a '94 Grand Cherokee, who has transmission problems. It seems stuck in second gear and when you downshift from overdrive to second, it shifts down, but won't seem to hit third or overdrive. A mutual mechanic friend just said replace the tranny with a rebuilt one, but my friend doesn't want to spend the big bucks right now and needs another option. Could it be the tranny computer, a modulator, or what?

I have owned everything from Ford, Chevy, Audi, Honda and Mazda to a Subaru. All bought for less than $1800.00, with over 150,000 miles when purchased, and I NEVER had the problems they had with Jeeps. I just traded my 1988 Audi-80 Quattro (with over 500,000 miles) in on a Subaru Outback. Nothing wrong with it, just needed more space. The Audi went into the detail shop and was sold within 5 minutes after coming out! Just say no to poorly designed and constructed Jeeps. They're not your daddy's Jeep anymore.
