1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my Jeep for about 3 years now and I love it! I haven't had any major mechanical problems so far except for one.
A/C compressor went out twice.
Front passenger side floor wet.
Transmission shifts rough at low speeds.
Sometimes, not always, electric shock when exiting the vehicle.
Weather stripping wear down on the front and rear door of driver's side.
Handbrake does not perform like it should in drive, only in reverse. Needs adjusting?
Alternator went out once.
General comments?
I plan on keeping my Jeep forever. It is very reliable. For being a 2WD model, it's gotten me out of some serious (here in Texas) mud.
Great vehicle for traveling and off road.
It gets the best of both worlds!
