2003 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2.4

Summary:

A nice car, but my one certainly has its problems

Faults:

7000 miles: Brake disks required to be replaced due to warping.

12000 miles: Spark plugs replaced due to fault.

20000 miles: Fan Belt tensioner replacement, due to failure.

Clutch replacement due to part 'breaking up'.

Engine flywheel replacement due to Hairline cracking.

3 weeks waiting time for parts to arrive from America...!!!

General Comments:

The Jeep Cherokee is an absolute delight to drive and well proven off-road. However, you will note the aforementioned problems which has proven most annoying to say the least.

I love the car, but would have second thoughts about buying another one because of my experiences.

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

Since the original report. My jeep has had new disks on the rear end and is currently awaiting to have a new boot fitted to the front drive shaft.

2003 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2.5 CRD

Summary:

Cherokee (KJ) back to the future in style!

Faults:

Nothing until now, so far so good!

General Comments:

Great SUV, good handling, good build quality and I love the retro look.

This car could have been built by Mercedes in Germany.

I never saw myself driving a Jeep (or an American car for that matter) but as soon is I saw the new Cherokee I knew I had to have one.

I never liked Jeeps before, too old fashioned and too boxy for my taste, but this car is exactly right, if this is the direction Jeep will go in the future, count me in.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Hi there, I live in Holland and own a 2002 Cherokee 2.5 CRD Sport Plus.

Great car for pulling a horse trailer and huge fun doing some off roading.

Did 45.000 km and only had the oil changed.

This car is a big improvement compared with my old Cherokee.

I also own a KJ (called the Liberty here in America) and I agree, it is very cool. I wanted a Cherokee and a Wrangler, but couldn't afford both. Now I can have both thrown into one. Plus, the gasoline engine (3.7L V-6) is basically a small Grand Cherokee engine, turned 90ยบ.

Happy Jeepin!
