1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSi review from North America
"It was the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The crankshaft pulley separated at 55,000 resulting in a $400 repair. Recalled for Transmission shift lock. Selec-track four wheel drive transfer case started leaking and acted like it was in 4full all the time. Excessive tire wear.
General comments?
This was a very comfortable and reliable car. I had test driven every SUV before this purchase and loved the Jeep. The last act of this Jeep performed was deploying the air-bags and protecting me from certain death. Jeep didn't survive this crash.
I was so happy with this Grand, that I bought a 2004 as it's replacement. Would love to have my 98 back in it's pre-crash condition.
