1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0

Summary:

Excellent all around practical SUV

Faults:

The drivers door hinge started to stick at 90k miles and had to be replaced. The part was $10 but the labor was expensive because the door had to be completely removed.

Rear-view mirror fell off at 85k miles, super glue fixed it just fine.

Had to replace tires and battery at 95k miles.

General Comments:

I highly recommend the Jeep Cherokee Sport. It's a great running car, always starts in the winter and the 4wd is excellent in the snow.

The original clutch has almost 111k Miles so I can't complain.

My only complaint would be the back seat, it's hard to get in and out of and there isn't much leg room.

1995 Jeep Cherokee Country 4D 4WD Inline 6 cylinder 4.0L High Output

Summary:

Features like a Grand Cherokee, Durability of a Cherokee Sport!

Faults:

Steering wheel squeaks when you turn it.

Extra Key-less entry transmitter costs $115.00!

General Comments:

I bought this Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) from a used car lot. First thing that caught my eye was the beautiful exterior (Dark green with a lot of chrome and tan trim) I had to see.

120,000 miles is a turn off, but the test drive told me differently! It shifted into and out of 4WD (four wheel drive) smoothly and easily at any speed. The low 4WD is very effective when you need to descend down hills that are covered in snow and/or ice. This car gives confidence to anyone driving it. Confidence to go off the asphalt or go to work on the snowy day.

The engine is extremely responsive at almost 200 Horse Power and the whole car weighs under a ton and a half. This car has great acceleration!

I love this car! When I wrecked my 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport I wanted nothing else, but a Jeep Cherokee. I won't own anything less than a Jeep!

This jeep was stolen 3 months after I had it... since then found, but belongs to the police impound lot. I was paid in full by the insurance company luckily.

Well I just bought my first Jeep; a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country today, it's a bright fire engine red color with a silverish color around the bottom, and it looks GREAT for its age.

So far from what I have read, my future upgrades will be: a 3 core radiator, new thermostat, airaid throttle body spacer, K&N intake, a tune up, a newer CD player (the one in it is a temperamental after market one), and emergency lights for fire department use. IF I want to put a small lift on it and a little bigger tire, should I put a trans cooler on it? (it's a auto) I plan on putting a 3 core radiator on it LONG before I do anything like a lift and tires.

1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0

Summary:

Jeep screwed up when they quit making these classics

Faults:

Electric cooling fan replaced several times under the warranty before getting a good one.

A/C compressor replaced under warranty. Water pump, thermostat and belt replaced at 45000 and 125000.

O2 sensor replaced at 45000. Steering wheel replaced at 25000.

General Comments:

Other than warranty items and general maintenance, this car has been great.

It continues to look great both inside and out.

4x4 has never failed.

Tow a 22 foot boat at least once a month and several trips to the Keys in the summer. Yes, it knows it is back there, but no problems.

I plan on keeping this car for 200-250 k miles and then I'll get a Grand Cherokee V8.

The Jeep has registered a trouble code when the check engine light is illuminated. Have a mechanic read the code if you don't know how to do this. It might simply be a bad EGR valve or leaking gasket.

Sounds like a clogged CVC valve.

I own 1995 jeep Cherokee, my check engine light has been on for about 2 years. It also will start running ruff for a couple of seconds and then run fine for few days. The only difference is that my Cherokee will start acting funny while I am driving down the highway with the cruse control on. I does not make since. I have brought it to a hand full of mechanics, but none of the have a solution.

1995 Jeep Cherokee Country 4.0 liter

Summary:

An ultra-reliable, user friendly vehicle that embodies the spirit of a Jeep

Faults:

The oxygen sensor needed to be replaced at 80,000 miles.

The alternator needed replacement once due to water/mud damage.

The original brake pads wear out quickly.

General Comments:

I absolutely love this Jeep.

I take it off road about three times a week, take it in snow over 3 feet deep, have jumped it in the air, and have driven it on road trips without ANY failures.

I have found it very reliable and easy to work on myself.

It does not get great gas mileage, but the peace of mind it gives to be able to go anywhere is well worth the extra few bucks at the pump.

Parts are widely available and inexpensive (many of the parts are the same from '84-'01).

I will always own a Jeep, and there are four in my family (and only three drivers).

It has great power, but don't expect to pull a massive trailer or perform super heavy duty work loads (after all, it is considered a compact Sport Utility Vehicle dimensionally).

Whats the oxygen sensor.

29th Jul 2004, 18:26

The oxygen sensor is self explanatory. It's a sensor that controls how much oxygen (air) makes it into the engine.

Hey I have a 99 Cherokee and just did some deep water crossings resulting in my battery going dead I think due to the alternator. you had said you had the same problem? were you able to jump start it, but have no idle? I'm trying to trouble shoot whether its the alternator or if maybe some other electrical problem, any info on that would be awesome, thanks.
