2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ Sport
Summary:
Despite the problems, I do love the XJ, it's as tough as nails
Faults:
Had the Jeep XJ Sport for two hours after driving her off the lot and completely overheated. New radiator and thermostat paid for by the dealer, and I was back on the road.
Got the common issues; AC and passenger window, but have an incredible hooooooooo noise coming through the dash.
Starts at about 80kph, but the window wiper fluid gets rid of it for a while. I assume it's a crack in the windscreen seal, but haven't been able to find it.
The hatch doesn't always open, very temperamental. Especially annoying when you've just bought a fridge and can't get it out :\
General Comments:
Great for towing and lots of fun on the beach. It's a very robust vehicle.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My hatch lock seemed a bit gummed up as well. I pulled the plastic cover off the lift gate and hosed the assembly down with spray-on lithium grease, then worked the assembly a bit. Problem solved for a few bucks. Give it a try.
