2002 Jeep Cherokee Sport 3.7 V6 from South Africa
Summary:
Bad like the devil
Faults:
The engine totally failed. The engine started to knock, and when inspected the one crankshaft bearing started to rotate in the conrod bore. This resulted in conrod, oil pump, crankshaft and hydraulic valve lifter damage. The cost to repair was R25000. This car was serviced on time every time. I bought it from a lady and it had a full service history. Aftermarket pirate parts are very scarce for this vehicle.
General Comments:
It's very comfortable. Extremely heavy on fuel. Between 5 and 7 km/L.
Very expensive parts from the dealer.
Exhaust tone is nice.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee is at my place of employ now. Locked steering column, can't move the gear shaft and key won't turn. Seems like Chrysler needs to recall, the car is just out of warranty at 37,000. Otherwise, this (our second jeep) has been great.
