1994 Jeep Cherokee Country 4.0 inline six from North America

Summary:

Best vehicle ever made

Faults:

The radiator has a slow leak.

The Crank Case Valve broke when I first purchased the Jeep.

The "Washer Fluid" light on the dash board would not turn off. It finally broke and will not work at all.

The left turn signal will not turn off automatically after I complete a left turn. I have to turn it off myself.

The left front speaker makes a funny noise.

The radio will not work properly. It does not want to pick up any radio stations, except 2 or 3.

Right rear window motor would not work, but now does.

Catalytic Converter went bad.

The paint is very dull.

General Comments:

Although I listed a lot of things that have gone wrong, my 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country has done well overall for its year and mileage.

It has always been reliable.

The 4 wheel drive is excellent.

I would defiantly recommend the Jeep Cherokee to anyone who wants a off-road vehicle or just as a normal city or highway vehicle.

I have a 93 Country and I agree that the paint is kind of dull and the first thing to go is the clear coat on the hood. I have some problems with my rear door locks, but hey I'll get over it. I agree with you 100% that this car is AMAZING!!!

If you look up the engine and transmission, the 93 country has the best of both, for reliability and long life. the paint does dull, but if you off road like I do there isn't much paint to worry about. if you don't destroy it off roading you should get over 300k every engine rebuild. and maybe more out of your transmission. in all I think theres a new best friend for man.

1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 from North America

Summary:

Rugged beast, ideal frills-free SUV

Faults:

Problems with clutch - extremely stiff, had some clutch linkage doo-hickey snap on me while taking off from an intersection. Replaced by dealer, cost about 400 bucks.

Fuel pressure regulator had to be replaced, which solved the hard-to-start theatrics that plagued me over a whole year until my mechanic told me what was what.

Windshield leaded like a sieve in heavy rain.

General Comments:

I owned this car in Minnesota and it was just the thing to get a fella through a tough winter. Snow drifts? No problem. 4 x 4 worked great and got me home every time.

A few relatively minor problems here and there didn't get me down. It was what an American car SHOULD be (but all too often isn't) : tough, rugged, with a super engine. Guzzles lots of gas though.

I am a 16 year old guy looking for my first car. I've heard good and bad things about it, but I live in Arizona and I don't drive that much. Could anyone tell me if this is a good car worth pursuing?

I have enjoyed every year that I have owned my 1994 Cherokee Sport (purchased in 1998 with <30k miles), but unless you need the 4x4 option, I would go with another vehicle that got better gas mileage. Like one other responder noted, he has never been disappointed in getting home in snow, granted I don't live in snow country either, but I likewise have always gotten to work and back when the other cars were stacked up on the curb. I don't know how much snow you get in Arizona unless you're in the mountains, but again unless you're going to take your new vehicle off road, I wouldn't bother getting a vehicle for that ability just so you can say you can.
