2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 from North America
Summary:
Great truck all around
Faults:
Clogged up the air intake driving on the beach and the engine misfired and stalled, but it was easy enough to clean out the gunked up air filter.
Removing of any suspension parts require a few days worth of spraying with wd-40 or else the bolt heads will break off and need to be tapped out.
Leaf springs in the rear sag a bit from towing, making the truck ride slightly nose high, but I'll fix it soon myself.
And who used tape decks in 2001?
General Comments:
Comfortable front seats, uncomfortable back seats, but I never sit back there.
Very, very quick for a stock SUV.
I enjoy the non-disconnecting front axle that engages with 4 wheel drive. It's much better than other 4 wheel drive with open differentials in the front and back.
Factory fog lights are nice to have.
Rear wiper is nice, never thought I would need it until I had one.
Never experienced a problem I couldn't fix myself. It's a Jeep thing.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Hello fellow Jeeper!
Sounds like you have one of the typical Chrysler Dealers... they expect you to throw money at them, and they give you the run around.
Well I have a simple solution that will tell you what EXACTLY is wrong with your car.
See http://www.carsurvey.org/review_51549.html
This works great on my Liberty (haven't had to read a code yet, but I've tried it for peace of mind). I've also heard the turning it from run to off 4 times will work, but I couldn't get it to, and think that's very hard on the fuel pump.
Hope you can figure out what's wrong with this information. It's a shame the majority of Chrysler's dealers suck; they really do make a great vehicle.
