2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from Switzerland
"Great Buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original Front Disk Brakes have a tendency to warp because they are relatively under-dimensioned for the size and weight of this car. This is a known issue. Had them replaced with larger type when brake shoes were due to be replaced. frond left automatic window motor broke 1 Year after purchase.
General comments?
Extremely reliable, very comfortable. The back seat area is smaller than you expect for the size of the vehicle, though. Considering the size and weight (2.5 metric tons) of the vehicle, I find the gas consumption moderate: Over the time I own this car, I averaged 12 liters/100Km so far. One should maintain oil/transmission fluid/filter change intervals as specified in the manual. I found that when you skip these intervals, gas consumption tends to go up.
I still love the look of this car and when I look at other makes (Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade, I do not like their design and find Jeeps overall package more attractive.
