2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from North America
"Too many brake and transmission problems!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
10,000 miles - warped brake rotors repaired/replaced.
22,000 miles - warped brake rotors repaired/replaced.
38,000 miles - warped brake rotors repaired/replaced, transmission won't shift into 3rd gear in cold weather.
52,000 miles - warped brake rotors repaired/replaced, transmission still won't shift into 3rd gear in cold weather.
65,000 miles - warped brake rotors repaired/replaced, same transmission problem, dealer suggests a rebuild at a cost of $2,300.
51,000 miles - rear axle seal leak - repaired/replaced, transmission problem persists.
General comments?
No one can diagnose the transmission problem, not even the dealer that suggested a rebuild at $2,300. The constant brake problems are so annoying that I'll never buy another Jeep or Chrysler problem. They need to find a new vendor for their brake system. With the F package of leather seats, sunroof, etc., it's the most comfortable SUV for the price, but I won't buy another Jeep.
