Faults:

I had gotten the water pump replaced at 71,000 miles, along with the radiator and drive belt.

Tires done at 94,000 miles.

Driver's side outside mirror refuses to go right to left under its own power, must move it with my hand. Even then, there is no resistance and it moves every once in a while.

Power antenna motor likes to run even if the antenna is all the way up or down.

General Comments:

The NP249J 4WD system (Quadra Trac) is a good idea, but it is a poorly executed idea.

The 5.2 V8 has excellent power from any speed.

Transmission has an annoying jerk and clunk when shifted into reverse. I've seen Dodge trucks with the same noise and jerking, so I guess its just normal for the Chrysler V8 trannies?

The exhaust system sounds pretty good for a stock system, much less a Jeep!

The seats are excellent for long-trip comfort and the dual power option is pretty handy.

I avg. 17.3 MPG.

Faults:

The LED (back light) for the radio not working.

The automatic transmission at times, has trouble shifting.

At times V.I.C. displays coolant sensor failure.

General Comments:

The engine cranks up easily and runs fine. No smoke, or oil consumption, no oil or coolant leaks.

This Cherokee handles well in all conditions.

Interior in great shape, not wear or tear.

General Comments:

The Grand Cherokee is a great SUV. Yes, I have had tons of repairs, but I'm hard on my cars. At one time I was commuting up to 5 hours a day in the car. Going from Northern Illinois to the Chicago Loop. If you are familiar with Illinois drivers and the road conditions, you will understand why the car needed so many trannies. We drive stop and go for over 60 miles on the way in and we run at 85mhp bumper to bumper on the way home. Very grueling for ANY auto. The car is very comfortable and is GREAT in the snow. I have the Select Track transmission and it is worth it in wet conditions. I had a 2001 Grand Cherokee with all wheel drive. I HATED IT! The '94 is way better in the snow then the 2001. The in-line 6 cylinder engine will run forever. I change the oil every 5,000 miles.
