What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas Cap went out about 71000 miles.
Axle seal leaked around 65000 miles
General comments?
I have have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and I love it. There has been some bumps in the road with it, but they are nothing big to me, because I have a understanding about cars and I know that some are easy to fix or some are nothing to worry about. One of the problems I had was that the check engine light came on, the code read that there was a.02 of an inch leak in the system. All that it was was a bad gas cap that cast $17. I also had a leaky axle seal on the right front side, it ended up getting fixed after the 5th time at the dealer for replacing 2 axle seals, 1 axle shaft and around $2500 in labor and part, but I have a warranty so it all cost me about $350. I have 72K miles on my Jeep and it still runs great. After I bought it I saw that it has been 4wheeled in the past. The brake work great, also after I put ceramic pads on all 4 disc brakes and it also keeps my front wheels clean. The problems with my Jeep that I haven't found an answer to are my mirrors & steering. My mirrors angle down when ever I turn on my car and my steering pulls to the right a little. I'm planning on bring it to get a steering alignment. It may sound like the people with the problems don't know how to go about fixing them and it is costing a lot of money. So they are taking them out on there Jeep. A lot of people think that they can just let a car go with no oil change or check engine light on and not do anything about it and still have a great running car with no problems. Some people do not get there car fixed because it is too much and they have other things to buy, but what they don't understand is that they are going to end up paying more in maintenance fees to fix the problem later or even have to buy another car.
