1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Straight 6 from North America
Summary:
A real sweet machine!
Faults:
Absolutely nothing! The tires were crap that the person had put on before me, but that was fixed.
General Comments:
I had mentioned that the tires were crap, well they were. This exact same thing happened to me two nights in a row: I was on the way home from a sweet off-road adventure and had driven at least 30 miles on pavement when I realized that something was wrong. It turns out that I had blown a rear tire (the other one the next day). I couldn't even feel that it was flat until I started to slide when I took a corner too fast. The stock suspension just was awesome.
Off-road I was cleaning house on tricked out every kind of vehicle when I had a stock Grand.
I would drive it through streams that would come up to the bottom of the windows and it only died once (I was going in reverse). That is quite impressive considering that the water was above the engine and I didn't have a snorkel.
The highway ride was just impressive too.
I love that Jeep.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

"Engine quits at 106,000 miles. No check engine light, no warning just stops. Restarts immediately. This one has me totally confused."
Did you happen to find out what was wrong with your car in the long run? I have the same problem.
