1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6
Summary:
I need a more reliable vehicle
Faults:
The gasoline tank sensor went bad.
The power steering pump pulley disintegrated taking the serpentine belt with it.
The carriage and pinion bearings had to be replaced 45 days ago.
Today, I am having the rear axle replaced.
General Comments:
I like the look of and the comfort of driving the Laredo.
I don't like the unreliability of the mechanical portions (ie the rear axle et all..) it seems lately that it is one thing after another.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited also and I too feel that this car has been nothing more than a hole to throw my money into. After driving on the I-95 today and for the umpteenth time ending up on the side of the road stranded, I am now awaiting the dreaded call to tell me what I won. Gee, what will it be this time? A $250, a $1200, a $565 price tag? Well if Jeep ever did anything right, it was that they really have helped the local mechanic economy. I love to feed other people's children when I can't even afford to feed my own! Hey, at least we have comfy seats to sit in right?
