1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"Transmission, AC defect, CV Boots replace all 3 and you have a great Ride!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We replaced the O-ring on the AC. $250+. Nope that wasn't the problem. The freon leaked out a week later. Another mechanic, a friend of ours, fixed it for free. After 3 months in working order, apparently the AC clutch is now broke. We'll find out tomorrow what the cost of that will be.
The CV boots need to be replaced.
General comments?
We have a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. White with Gold Trim. The body is in perfect condition. It looks brand new.
Interior is in great condition too.
The air conditioner.
Has Jeep done anything to address this obvious manufacturer defect. The first mechanic said I need new O-rings. Cost me $250. It broke again 1 week later. Went back to mechanic for refund. He said Sorry I thought that was the problem. No refund. Now I have to have the AC clutch replaced.
I am hoping that we can get this AC issue squared away, so I can sell this thing before the Transmission goes on it. Sounds like it is inevitable.
The Jeep is a beautiful SUV. Inside and out. There seems to be a theme of repairs here though. If anyone has info on recall or class action against Chrysler or Jeep please let everyone know.
Thanks
Dean.
