2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland review from North America

The only problem we have had so far with this vehicle was the rotors were warped. This was replaced at 21,000 miles. At around 18,000 miles the vehicle was started to make "jerky" stops. This was replaced under warranty.

Overall, this Jeep is one true performer. It's 4.7 High Output V8 has amazing power and performance. The 5-speed automatic transmission shifts very smoothly and works efficiently. It achieves 17.5 miles per gallon.

The ride quality is very good, although, certain road conditions cause it to rock annoyingly from side to side. This may have something to do with its four wheel drive system or its outdated rigid axles. On the bright side, Jeep's Quadra-Drive is probably the best four wheel drive system you can buy out there. It hasn't slipped one time on the snow. If it does however, it has the technology to send torque to the wheel that has the most traction and pull it out of the problem.

I optioned to get the top of the line Overland Edition with the quadra-coil suspension. This is a one a kind vehicle. It has every possible option, but the navigation system. The seats are very comfortable and the electroluminescent back round on the dash looks really neat. The dark leather and real wood grain is an excellent combination. Last of all the Infinity stereo, is probably the best factory sound system you can buy. The bass and features of this radio are outstanding.
