1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 inline 6
Summary:
Do not buy one
Faults:
First little problem I had was replacing the tires and brakes. That was due to wear and tear.
The major malfunction with this Jeep is the electrical system. The computer on the dash tells us that several things are going wrong, when they have been checked, and they are fine.
The next problem is with the computer box that runs all the electricals through the vehicle. Jeep has replaced this 5 times now, and it is back in to possibly get another at this time. The vehicle quits running, and will not start back up. You wiggle the wires going to the module, and it will start back up. The computer tells the mechanic that it is having multiple misfires. That's it, nothing else.
Just to let you all know, I like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but do not recommend the Laredo 4.0 Inline 6. I have a Limited Grand Cherokee with the 5.2 318 cub. V8, and it has been the best Jeep I have ever owned.
General Comments:
Love the looks, and all the things that this vehicle has, but not the headaches.
Very disappointed with the displacement and the running power of the motor. Not enough get up and go.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had a 98 Explorer since new, 389,000kms, nothing major replaced, just standard stuff (brakes, oil changes, ball joints, tie rods etc.)... original motor, tranny, transfer case... ran mint until a deer hit me...
Any vehicle will last 1 million kms if you take care of them!
