Faults:

Driver side seat vinyl is cracked.

General Comments:

This is my first SUV.

I am very surprised by its low end performance and handling. I think this is due to its relatively light weight.

It is a little noisier than what I am used to (my Maxima) I do hear a faint gear/drive-train whining noise.

The only comfort complaint I have is that it does not have a dead pedal to rest your left foot.

Gas mileage should be better for what it weighs.

Overall, I really like the Cherokee. It has nice, clean design. I just added 17" wheels and tires, which makes it look even better!.

I don't think I would have bought any other SUV. It was either the Cherokee or another car.

When I first purchased my jeep cherokee I noticed squeky sounds in the rear every time I go over bumps on the road. I brought the jeep back to the dealer where I purchased it and they replaced the rear shocks at no charge. At the present time I am not having no problems.

General Comments:

The Jeep cherokee is very responsive, it feels like driving a sports car.

Faults:

Shims in the rear axle started grinding, but were replaced free of charge by the dealer.

Electric motor in the passenger's side front door started sounding strange. Again replaced by the dealer under the warranty with no problems.

I'm very impressed with the standard of build quality on this vehicle. The layout of the various switches takes a bit of time to get used to, but when I sat in the car as a passenger, it all seemed so logical (that's left hand drive for you).

The vehicle is used a great deal for towing a livestock trailer with approx 2 tonnes of sheep in it. Nothing seems to faze it!! It is as happy pulling through the mud across a field as it is on the motorway.

Driving to Scotland non-stop (two of us) is a doddle.

When we compared the level of equipment provided as standard, it far out shines most other 4x4's on the market, and is value for money.

I owned 4 foreign cars before this jeep, and always heard the horror stories about American cars breaking down, stupid little things like doors locks etc that just stop working etc...

Well, I have 41,700 miles on this Jeep and it's been in the shop for these exact kind of problems roughly 6 times. 3 of the 5 doors have at one point in time had issues opening only when they felt like it. Windshield wipers just stopped working. 2 of the windows at random times decide to open and close on their own (they still do, dealer hasn't "found a problem with them"). And the latest one left me stranded with a $80.00 tow job and a $250.00 repair just a couple thousand miles outside of factory warranty (and the $1,200.00 100K mile warranty I bought didn't cover this either). The ignition cylinoid had to be replaced and re-coded. Car ran fine, but you couldn't tell because you couldn't turn the damn key to start it.

Anyway, that's my experience so far, and the car still has another year+ on the LEASE - So I get to fix Chrysler's car with their problems and my money...

This is my first American car and most definetly my last.
