I too have experienced the AC problem, haven't had it diagnosed yet. I think it is in the air control box, perhaps a sloppy cable or bad vacuum actuator.

Also my fuel light will come on while the tank is full, and it does sound like perhaps the u-joint and CV axle is going, but I have been four-wheeling a bit, and all in all the car is decent.

I bought it for the 4-wheel drive, which works well if not flawlessly. For a 2000 vehicle with high miles, I got a great buy, only 4500.00 and it lists for 7300.

The body is in great shape as well as the interior. A few quirks, but all in all a good vehicle. Knock on wood.

Sorry to hear of other's problems, but no major complaints here. However I do have larger tires on mine and have not had any steering or vibration problems. Maybe the stock tires are an issue, I don't know. These things were built for off-roading and fun, enjoy it.

For those of you with intermittent starting trouble, it could be the Crank Shaft Positioning Sensor. My jeep would periodically just not start. Wait 5 min, it would start right up. Some times it would take 2 hours. Once 2 days. Then, started right up. I replaced the CSPS and have had no trouble since. As the sensor is located on top of the bell housing, just under the fire wall, it is a very difficult repair. Only the most experienced and patient shady tree mechanics should attempt.

As I recall, I don't think you can actually see it without mirrors, and I think I had to hold the bolt in the socket with gum. Jeep does a wonderful job of making repairs to their vehicles a challenge.

My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee has had many of the same problems. I have had two power locks with the grinding sound, and I am currently having an ongoing problem with my passenger side brake light going out. Jeep has done all of us a raw deal with these annoying and costly problems.

General Comments:

This car has lots of minor and annoying problems to include blown speakers, faded headlight lenses. Not good attention to detail from a MFG standpoint.

The serpentine belt had to be replaced at 70,000, and the air conditioning was serviced a few times too.

General Comments:

I had just bought this car used, and have had a few minor problems until recently.

My air conditioner has been serviced three times in two months, and just recently was given a "$1300 to rip apart the dashboard" quote. Instead of it being the evaporator like I've seen here in other posts, I was told it was the condensor. Either way, from what my mechanic was saying, this is a huge problem with 2000 Jeep Cherokees and there is little that can be done to cut the cost.

Faults:

Antifreeze was disappearing and no leak could be found. Turned out it was a cracked header and was replaced under manufacturer warranty with just under 70,000 miles on the vehicle. The local dealer also did a comprehensive maintenance overhaul at this same time and I have had no problems since.

General Comments:

This has been a great vehicle that is dependable and very usable for a variety of situations. Gas mileage is not that great at around 18 to 20 MPG, but it is an SUV. I will keep it until it is completely dead. Hopefully I can get 200,000 to 300,000 miles out of it.
