2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0

Summary:

So far, it seems like a good car

Faults:

I just bought a Jeep GC, and I'm just now learning about all the problems with them!!! It runs great, so I HOPE I don't have all these problems!!

General Comments:

The only problem I can see with the car, is with the driver's door, as the bracket is broke, but that's an easy repair.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8

Summary:

Junk

Faults:

Very very unhappy with my 2001 Grand Cherokee. I got it brand new in 2001, and first the wheels start to rust all over, the rotors went bad, the heater core went bad, the evaporator went bad, the transmissions went bad, etc... etc... etc...

Chrysler cars are piece of junk... Did not know that.

Will go back to buy this time a German car.

No more Chrysler cars, oh no.

Thank you Chrysler... will remember you and your cars forever!

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee LIM

Summary:

Don't BUY IT!!! and Gimme MY MONEY BACK!!

Faults:

Replaced window motors, replaced back brake light and head light, replaced A/C, check engine light on, replaced tires 3x, replaced steering, fixed A/C hose, A/C leaking, causing a pond in passenger seat, headlight's "sand like" covering won't come off, car just stops, or won't turn on, rear window spring broken, hood spring broken, back windows "sticky", paint chipping, squeaky when driving..

General Comments:

OK, this is my first "main car" I've ever owned, paid it off myself, and therefore loved it.

Man oh man, did I get a run for my money. I paid it off last year, and all hell broke lose, everything is breaking on the damn car!

I love the shape of it, and when it works, it's awesome, but note how I said WHEN it works. Every possible problem has happened with this car, and most car places as well as Jeep themselves have no idea what is wrong with it half the time. Honestly, this Jeep is crap... it's a good idea gone terribly wrong. Anybody thinking of buying this car, don't! Actually buy mine... I'm trying to trade it in :)

Most second owners will have a hard time with Jeeps over 200K.

However, most foreign cars of the 2000's with less mileage will show unrepairable issues with less.

His review shows that he bought the Jeep at 35000 miles, not at 200000 miles. and Japanese cars (especially those built in Japan) are known for their reliability and easily cross the 150000 miles mark without major issues. My 1998 Corolla is on 170000 miles with just the regular maintenance.

Jeep compared to Corolla. What an Apple to Apple comparison. Why not compare to many current, trouble free domestic commuter vehicles? I am sure many of us could make a very extensive list.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 V8

Summary:

I love my Jeep!!!

Faults:

I just recently got my first Jeep. Previously I owned a 2001 Eclipse. And I love my Jeep so much more.

Besides simple bulb and battery replacement, I have had no problems. All I know is I will always own a Jeep.

General Comments:

My Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is amazing. I have been off roading and it handled great. And it is very smooth during everyday driving. Aside from gas prices, there isn't anything I would change.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6

Summary:

Very expensive to keep it running!

Faults:

Had to replace power window motors in driver & passenger doors.

Had to replace transmission.

Had to replace timing belt.

Had to replace A/C blower.

Had to replace alternator.

Had to repair 2 oil leaks.

Had to replace several belts & hoses.

General Comments:

A lot of room for the family, but I've probably spent the price I paid again in repair bills. Every time I take it to my mechanic, he always says, "Yeah these Jeeps are bad for that." They're bad for everything!

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L

Summary:

All around great vehicle with poor mileage

Faults:

Water pump at 125,000.

Passenger window regulator at 130,000.

Transmission sensor at 116,000.

General Comments:

Very comfortable to drive. Seats are great for long trips. 4 wheel drive is exceptional in inclement weather.

4.0 is not powerful enough for this size of vehicle. Still does the job, but with absolutely nothing left over. Gas mileage is not too great either. If looking for one, go with the V8.
