2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Stinks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake rotors went bad at 8,000 miles. The dealer turned the rotors--did not work so they were replaced at 9,500 miles. Rotors went bad again at 21,000 miles. Dealer told me I needed to brake less on hills (ha! ha!). Dealer ignored problem and told me I needed to have it repaired outside of warranty. Rotors went bad again at 43,000. I am seeking relief through my state's lemon law via an attorney.
Each of the power door locks went bad during the 44,230 miles. Each was replaced. A recall for a possible fire hazard on the manifold.
Overall, the brakes on this Jeep stink. Read Consumer Reports, or better yet, go to the NHTSA web site and see how many complaints about 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee brakes there are. Also, Chrysler issued 4 Technical Service Bulletins about the brakes. Need I say more!
General comments?
Rides like a truck.
