1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 liter from North America
Summary:
A reliable SUV that's affordable.
Faults:
Cooling temperature gage does not work. Replaced both temperature sensors and still nothing. Finally, I had to add an aftermarket gage so I could have an engine temperature reading.
The exhaust manifold cracked above were it is connected to the exhaust pipe and was replaced at 98,000 miles.
The oxygen sensor died after 105,000 miles.
General Comments:
The performance is adequate for a large vehicle with a six cylinder engine. Using the throttle lightly produces about 18 miles per gallon in city driving. Respectable for a heavy vehicle not designed for economy.
For a nine year old SUV it has held up remarkably well. It sounds and feels tight with no squeaks or rattles. Moreover, all the driven-train components have held up well with just routine maintenance service.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

So far my Jeep has been great. Only one problem; the power steering pump went bad, but other than that, the motor is strong and 4 wheel drive works great.
