"A total waste of money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The transmission failed at 67000 miles.

The compressor on the air conditioner has had to be replaced twice at $500 a pop.

The fuel pump failed.

The water pump failed.

The LCD on the stereo went out after I'd owned the car three months so I never know what station the radio's on.

The computer failed, causing a "rear lamp failure" error to flash even though the rear lamps work just fine.

The power seats broke on the passenger side.

The brakes wear out more often than any other car I've ever owned.

The motor mounts (front and rear) have had to be replaced twice in four years.

General comments?

This is without a doubt the worst vehicle I have ever owned. It's been nothing, but trouble since I bought it and is a money pit.

The interior is plush and the front seats are very comfortable.

Mechanically this car has been a lemon. Everything that could go wrong did.

I would never recommend a Jeep or Chrysler product.

OK, first off, you bought it used. 60,000+ miles on the clock. There are going to be some problems. On top of it all, if you had done your research, EVERYBODY says stay away from the V8 and the quadra-trac (AKA: Quadra-Junk) 4X4 system. I'm assuming you had the quadra-trac b/c most limiteds had it unless you had the selec-trac installed afterwards. As for the radio, that's nothing to complain about. Put a new radio in. Perhaps a better radio. Afterall the car is 10 years old.

My 94 Limited has the Quadra Drive and after 204,000 Miles and 11 years it and the automatic transmission are working well and have never broken down or been rebuilt. Of course I drained the fluids in everything and installed 100% synthetic ATF and Gear Lubes which make all the gear boxes run much cooler. I made that fluid change when the car was less than a month old back in December 1993. I changed the 100%synthetic engine oil 44 times since new and I use Amsoil, Mobil 1 or Hastings filters only, not the cheap paper Frams etc. This jeep has been used Off-Road, as well.

The computer was most likely NOT shot, I have a 1994 Grand Cherokee Laredo and occasionally the screen will flash telling me I have a bad brake light. The problem in mine is the third brake light. The bulbs in it when I bought it were not the correct ones (they should be 921's). Also, check the light bulb sockets, mine are chewed up pretty badly and even with the right bulb and all lights working fine, I get the error message. I just need new bulb sockets. Also, if anyone could tell me where to find these things I'd appreciate it, I can't find them anywhere! Any questions/comments e-mail me at mr_robert_burgess@hotmail.com.
