Faults:

159,000 - Replaced radiator, a/c comp, water pump and alternator and at

160,000 - Replace all four rotors.

The driver seat is heavily worn out.

General Comments:

The truck gets 12.2 mpg almost as good as some of the new trucks with comparable engine sizes.

Still has plenty of power to give, I will get at least 250,000 mile out of this truck.

Faults:

Ignition coil died at 66,000 miles.

Bad connection for oxygen sensor on mother-board. When really hot out, "check engine" light goes on. Shop replaced oxygen sensor 3 times b/4 they figured it out.

Doors sag, creating extra interior noise.

FM and cassette went out at 120000 miles.

Front brakes were replaced (Warranty) at 40,000 miles and again at 80,000.

Lot of small oil leaks, but lasts until next oil change.

Switching into 4WD is okay, but getting back out is sticky and takes a good bump.

General Comments:

After rear shocks died, have not been able to find a good replacement set for under $300.

Loses 3-5 mpg when towing a pop-up camper, but it never gets stuck anywhere.

The rear seats don't have a lot of room, but the fronts are adequate.

Faults:

Mostly standard stuff... but had the ignition switch, water pump, catalytic converter, headlight switch, air conditioning... and now at 235,000 the right wheel bearing and U-Joints...

General Comments:

Really this has been a great. It has never left me stranded. Which says a lot for 235,000! Not the most quiet vehicle, but it's a Jeep.

Faults:

The front axle u-joints were bad when I purchased the vehicle. I have had them replaced twice. The second time was due to a bad part.

I replaced the entire driver's side wheel hub assembly.

The rotors were warped badly.

The engine blew at 148,000 miles.

The driver's seat was off the track and the passenger seat has been welded into place, apparently by the previous owner.

The front shocks needed to be replaced.

The tires needed to be replaced (dealership put the wrong size on the rims).

The muffler needs to be replaced.

General Comments:

My Cherokee Sport has been nick named "Bessie" by my mom.

This is the car that made me fall in love with the SUV. I'm a tall girl and small cars are very tiny on the interior. I love the fact I have plenty of room inside, sit up off the ground, and the windows allow me to see everything around me. I absolutely adore the boxy look, and the color is outrageous: Teal.

In the winter, the four wheel drive is great for hopping over the snow.

I blew a gasket the summer of 2003 and that in turn blew the engine. I had 148,000 miles on it (give or take) at the time. I put had a used engine dropped in it that fall, which doesn't even have 80,000 miles on it. I'm about to replace the muffler and give it a real drive from Detroit to California in about a week. My mechanic is confident the trip will be made fine.

My only complaint is on long drives the seats aren't terribly comfortable.

However, I love this car and will be thrilled to pieces to see the speedometer flip at the 200,000 marker.
