This car is excellent on snow and ice, very stable. Goes like a tank.

Faults:

Transmission went at 112,000 miles. Cost about $2100 to replace.

A/C has problems every summer since 75,000 miles - just after the warranty ran out! Systems leaks R-14 (freon) from multiple locations. A poor design.

Factory stereo burned out at 140,000 miles.

General Comments:

Strong engine. I've become spoiled by the powerful 5.2L V-8 and the acceleration.

Perfect size.

Decent gas mileage; about 21mpg under ideal conditions, about 15.5mpg in city conditions.

Good on snow.

Excellent turn radius.

Running boards hamper any serious off roading attempts.

Steering wheel started to wear at 90000 miles.

Transmission blew around 100000 miles.

Air conditioner stopped working at around 100000 miles also.

Key-less entry quit working at 150000 miles.

Parking brake broke at 200000.

The driver side 6.5 inch door speaker blew at 235000 miles along with the back seat door speaker on the same side.

Gas pump broke at 236000 miles.

General Comments:

This car has great pickup and the engine works like new, even with 237000 miles..

However the gas mileage isn't that great with 14 miles per gallon in the city and 18 for the highway.

It has very comfortable seats.

The car handles very well.

The paint only has a few chips in the hood and side mirrors.

The only rust is on the tailgate and a little under the doors.

Faults:

I have not had any problems with the car so far. (Knock on wood)

General Comments:

This car is so comfortable. Like sitting in a lazy boy while you drive.

Very easy to drive. Easier to park than most full size cars, due to the tight turning radius.

Engine a little rough and kinda loud, but prefer the better gas mileage than what I would be getting out of the V-8.

Looks very good. Never thought I would like gold accents on a car-the Grand Cherokee definitely pulls it off!
