1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 liter I6 from North America
Summary:
One kick ass SUV!!
Faults:
Up until a few weeks ago, nothing at all. I had been driving it since I had gotten it for about 7 months. I put about 10,000 miles on it. Then all of a sudden out of the blue, the Jeep starts to stutter on me when I stop and then trys to accelerate quickly. It even stalled on me twice. I took it to the dealer who said it was the fuel pump or the fuel filter (on the 97' and up they are the same unit). I had also purchased the added care warranty from the dealer so it was covered. All I had to pay was the $100 deductable. After that it has been running fine ever since.
General Comments:
Other than the fuel pump problem, the SUV has been performing wonderfully. The 4wd is great in the snow and it is good off road too.
I love this Jeep and would definitely buy another one. I like the body style better than any other SUV on the market.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

It never ceases to amaze me that so many people will take their cars to a DEALERSHIP for maintenance once the warranty is out. Keep putting crappy rotors on a car at a ridiculous hourly rate, and they will keep warping and costing you money.
Buy premium parts from Autozone/Parts America/etc and change them yourself, and you'll only need to change them every 3 years, and the parts will be free.
