1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited from North America - Comments

Manifold gasket blew at 78000. $240.

Air Conditioning system has developed a leak. It will hold freon for around 2 weeks.

Rearend was starting to go when I purchased this vehicle. $650.

Drivers side seat quit heating.

Drivers side mirror doesn't "darken" anymore. A weird burnt mark appears when the button is pushed on the rear-view.

Transmission shifts rough at low speeds.

CV boots have been busted for an unknown period of time which leads to me having to replace the front axles in the near future. Local garage quote= $500-$600.

And finally the Jeep decided to put itself in drive while I had left the motor running in park. Luckily I stopped it before it got away. One time occurance.

This Jeep runs very well and has great power. It will pull almost anything without effort. Other than the rear end and axle problems there has been nothing major.

I would like to add that my Acura I owned before this had 178000 miles on it when I sold it. I purchased the car at 40000 and never had one single problem ever.

Sounds a lot like my 98 Grand Cherokee. I have the exact same problems. The problem you had in the park is actually something Chrysler knows about. There was a recent recall you may want to check out.

My power windows and air conditioning stopped working all together. The driver side UN-lock button also only UN-locks, but does not lock.

That's exactly what was going on with my 98 Limited. The rear end was going and the mirrors didn't darken anymore. I decided to replace it with a regular heated mirror, and it has been problem-free since. There was one time when my Jeep decided to put itself in drive too, I realized that Chrysler had a recall for that reason, and the only reason I found out is through a carfax check on my car. It was a free trip to the dealership, and the car will never do that again. The replacement electrochromic mirror runs about $200 for just the glass. not worth it. Those have been the only problems I ever had. I love Jeeps.
