2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Hunk of Junk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Same brake problems as everyone else. I have replaced calipers, rotors and it does okay for a few thousand miles, but goes right back to the shaking when braking.
I replaced the transmission twice, once under warranty and a second time at $2,000. The water pump has gone out twice and the radiator has been replaced as well.
The a/c stinks, but I have not even attempted to have that repaired. At 93,000 miles the cable for the rear window broke and I have been told I have to purchase the entire assembly which includes the motor and the cost for just the part is $280.00 plus labor.
General comments?
This is a really poor excuse for a vehicle. I will never purchase another Chrysler product! I have always owned a Toyota which has been extremely reliable and low maintenance. I got 300,000 miles out of a 96 Toyota Celica and stills runs like new. Look out Toyota because I am coming back!
