1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"A worthless piece of junk that spent more time in the shop than on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission refused to shift into 4-low.
Brakes needed to be replaced.
Interior pieces broke 3 weeks after purchase.
Car hesitates when started.
Occasionally won't shift out of second gear.
Rear end makes growling noises.
All four wheels were up to 80 thousandths out of round.
Cracks in the exhaust manifold.
Fuel injectors plugged.
Cracks in transmission case.
Brake light wiring went out in the middle of the city.
Things like that - the list goes on and on.
General comments?
Never, ever buy a Chrysler product, especially a Grand Cherokee. I was told never to come back to a dealership after I complained about waiting three hours to get a part that I was told was on the shelf. The repairmen didn't even have the proper tools to check if the wheels were in round, so I had to bring my own tools in to show the mechanics how to test the wheels. The car was in the shop 22 times in 2 & 1/2 years. Better off with a Kia.
