1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo from North America - Comments

I had constant replacements of batteries. Required towing 3 times.

I had to replace radiator and cooling system at 115000 miles. Required towing.

I had to replace the ignition switch due to a small slump metal ring on the inside part of the switch. It cost $393 plus vehicle had to be towed vehicle.

Replaced brake calipers and rotor at 100000 miles. Cost $575.

There was a recall on the shift lever in 1999 which I never received.At 135000 miles, I took it to the dealer for repair. I returned to the dealer of five times. The dealer mechanic acerbated the initial recall repair by breaking the entire shift box. Requiring me to return five times. The dealer finally agreed that it was their responsibilty to replace it at no cost. The shift lever is very difficult to move from park to reverse.

I had to have the drums and brake job again at 135000 miles at a cost of $476. I had 3 estimates This was the cheapest.

Air conditioner has leaked coolant since acquistion of the vehicle and I have to get it replace annually.

There are oil leaks which have been repaired, but there is still one that will cost $300 to repair and the mechanic suggested that is just cheaper to keep replacing oil. Ongoing problem since 100,000 miles.

The rear lift door had to have both side rods replaced.

The rear window leaked when it rained or the vehicle was washed.

It is diagnosed that it needs a ring job.

The cooling is inadequate.

The rear plastic bumper is flimsy.

Visibility is poor at sides and rear.

Gas mileage good. Probably because it is a six cylinder.

I do no off road driving since the vehicle is a 2 wheel drive.

Sorry to hear your mechanic ripped you off so much. Brakes on this truck are $22 for each disk, and $40 for pads. The job takes less than an hour with simple tools. I had a 1993 from new to 2008. Never had any problems other than expected maintenance over the life of the truck. Still going strong with its 2nd owner...
