I have had my baby for about one year. Ever since I bought this car, I have had no problems at all. The only bad thing about this car is the air condition. If the car is not running air condition won't work. Though, supposedly, it's because this one is bit of old.
Since I bought my Cherokee, I have abused it many times on off-road. Eventhough, performance of this car is literally sux on off-road (unless you do some modification on it). However, I do believe Jeep Cherokee 1994 is one of the most reliable and dependable car ever built. You won't imagine how much I have abused and mistreated my baby on off-road. Still, nothing went wrong; Runs just like new ones. I am fully satisfied with the dependability of Cherokeee 1994. On highways or freeways, it drives smoothly. But, when it comes to major highways, it does not exceed 85mph. Not a fast one comparing to other SUVs, but again! Most reliable machine.
The air conditioning will not not work on any vehicle unless the engine is running. It never has and never will.
I still want to know why anybody would WANT their ac to run when the car is off? If you are running all of the accessories with the vehicle turned off, you must go through batteries like crazy.
If your top speed is only 85mph, you must have a four cylinder engine. A very tired one at that.
I guess because the speedometer only goes to 85 is why one would think that's as fast at it will go, because that's as far as the speedometer WILL go. I bet it goes well above 85mph even with a tired 4 banger, eventually it would get above 85. Jeep made it so the needle stops when it reaches max speed indicated on the speedo. Anyone remember older cars that the speedometer went to 120 and would continue past that point when reached and WOULD eventually break and no longer work at all? I do. I broke a few of them in my time.
