The brakes squeak when braking. The dealer put something on them to help stop the squeaks, but it doesn't work.
All four shocks have been replaced twice. The first time the shocks would rub and squeak in the cold weather over large bumps. The second time the shocks needed replacing, all 4 shocks were leaking fluid. Since they have been fixed, no problems to report.
I love my Jeep.
It is pretty quick with the I-6 even though more power would be great.
This is a great SUV. I have had two issues that have both been covered under warranty. My dealer had free loaner Jeeps while your car is in the shop. Other than the brakes and shock there has been no problems and the dealership has coopereated fully. I will definitly cosider another Jeep in the future.
To all:
I purchased my Jeep Grand Cherokee, Special Edition in Nov. 2003. It is listed as a 2004 model. As of Sept. 2007 I have 26,000 miles.
The Jeep has been dependable with only two issues. The first issue is the power window motor assembly on the passenger side had to be replaced. The second issue is the driver side front brake rotor and passenger side rear brake rotor have cracks on the brake surface. The jeep and steering wheel vibrates when braking from high speeds. At low speeds and gentle braking there is no vibration.
