Faults:
I own a complete LEMON.
Once I'm finally free I will never buy another Jeep for as long as I live.
Two weeks after purchasing: broken remote entry on driver side door - not covered by extensive 30-year warranty. (NOTE: none of the issues listed below were covered by this extensive, "must-have" wonderful warranty I was bullied into buying. NOTHING.)
One week later: same thing, passenger door.
First two or three years - relatively few major repairs, just bits & pieces every so often (electrical short, faulty headlight, new starter, new battery, new tires...).
Two years ago: Transmission blew.
A couple more electrical shorts.
Shocks.
Last year: New Engine - Blew a head gasket.
Check Engine light is on constantly, mechanics cannot figure out why.
A/C stopped working - got it fixed, don't know what the issue was.
This year: New Radiator - overheated, fan came apart and destroyed radiator and hoses.
Two weeks after that: New engine - I was told that the radiator overheating had cracked engine.
A/C stopped working, never bothered to get it repaired.
Detachable CD player started going on and off irregularly, never bothered to figure out why (may be the player, not the car).
Check Engine still light on constantly, mechanics still cannot figure out why.
Remote entry works about half the time.
Last week: New ignition coil.
Today: white smoke from under hood.

I had a 1999 Cherokee and sold it to my son. I miss it. It was the best vehicle I have ever had, and I am looking for another one. It did ride rough, but not bad for a truck. The fuel mileage was excellent for a boxy 4x4. It had Selec-Trac that I used most of the winter in all wheel drive. In 4x4 the front wheels and rear wheels fought in a turn. Exactly like my pick up with 4x4. The all wheel drive is great.
