General Comments:

This is the worst vehicle I ever owned. I cannot believe that Chrysler can sell this junk anymore. They say the 4.0 in these Jeeps last a long time. I don't see it lasting over 130000 miles, and I baby this Jeep.

If anyone is considering buying a Chrysler product, I strongly recommend against it. You fix one thing and a month later something else breaks. Oh and you fix one leak, it just leaks again somewhere else.

JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket.

My front speakers went on my Cherokee, so thought it might be problems with the speakers. But after some research, I learned that there is a defect in the speaker wires. So I went to Walmart, bought new speaker wires for about 3 dollars. Ran the new wires the next day. From the wire harness, which is behind the head unit, down to the door, I followed the other wires through the door seal and plugged in the speakers. They work perfectly fine now. I am glad that was a problem though, because when I bought the car at 128,000 miles the speakers would have been blown by then if the wires worked. Now I have two brand new speakers.

Have a new problem though evap leak in my engine, so the check engine light is on. Mechanic says it will cost 80.00 to smoke the engine to find the leak. Does anyone now the max price to fix it Thanks.

General Comments:

If you can't handle a Jeep Cherokee, don't buy one. Things are going to go wrong. The thing about Jeep is that they are a very simple cars. I have fixed everything myself so far and you don't have to really know what you're doing unless it involves the engine. If you're not a very hands on guy, then buy a Japanese car. Just when something does go wrong on those things there is no way you are fixing it yourself. And it will usually cost you.

I have fixed the problem with my window regulator, bought after market tail lights, new brake pads, brush bar, fog lights, new speakers and head unit fixed my speaker problem and even put 2 12inch subs with amp in my car. I had no problem at all, a couple blown fuses, but it was really simple to fix and install all these things, and I don't know that much about cars.

Since I bought the car, only the driver can roll down the windows, or they work when they want to.

My most recent problems are I get a message saying nobus, and everything dies when I drive. If I hit the reset button for the miles, it comes back on.

I also experienced today, if I'm idling all of a sudden there's this jumping feeling and I can't move. Has anybody else had this problem? Thought it was a loose spark plug, but that's not the case.
