1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport TD 2.5 turbo diesel from Australia and New Zealand
Faults:
Too numerous to list, I'll give you just a few:
Oil feed pipe to head cracked - replaced TWICE.
New turbo due to faulty EGR valve oil leak.
Timing case cover oil leak - one week old.
Rear springs replaced 140,000kms sagged.
Door trims and interior lights falling off etc
I could keep going for some time but I'm sure you have already worked out how I feel about this junk box.
General Comments:
Not very happy with the result from Jeep Australia when I wrote to them explaining my problem.
Sorry to upset any people who actually like their Jeep.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I just have to chime in and say that I live in NJ and often travel to and drive in NYC. Going through a clutch in Manhattan in any type of vehicle is no major surprise, nor is going through a manual transmission if your shifting technique is not just right. So, I would not count the clutch problem as a strike against the vehicle given the circumstances you mentioned, regardless of what kind of vehicle it is. I very much like the Cherokees and intend to buy one in the near future. Thanks for the good honest review.
