1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4.0 V6
Summary:
Dependable but would not recommend..
Faults:
Ball Joints like to break at least once a year.
Rear end needs rebuilt, cost $4,000 from dealership though, only paid $5,000 for vehicle, will get rid of it before getting rear end rebuilt.
Heater does not work (blower went out).
Headlights get water in them, and it stays in there for months (no off-road driving or anything).
Engine is loud, even when parked with engine running.
Hit fresh snowbank going around 5mph and front driver side fender came loose.
Leather seats cracked and falling apart (all of them, nobody is even ever in the back one).
Power windows don't always work.
Clock spring broke, seems to be a common jeep problem.
Tailgate doesn't always open like it is suppose to, have to push and hold it down most of the time to get it to open.
Very bumpy ride (on-road).
Very little backseat room if you did have to sit back there (luckily I don't)
General Comments:
Would not buy another, very uncomfortable and prone to problems.
Still runs, not sure for how much longer though.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Of course it is a bumpy ride! It's a Jeep! You want a non-bumpy vehicle that you can go anywhere in? I don't have an answer for that. Go buy a Cadillac then.
