1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.2 from North America
Summary:
One satisfied Jeep owner
Faults:
Rear windshield wiper screw-cover has chipped/broken off about a week after I bought the Jeep. Had an aftermarket sound system professionally installed, and in the process (I was watching,) discovered that where the rear drivers side seat lifts up, hinge seems to have come disconnected. This is not a major problem, seat still closes OK. Transmission sometimes is a little slow to shift, especially after passing cars on the highway at around 65-70mph. Sometimes shifts with a slight clunking noise at below 30.
General Comments:
Strong acceleration, pulls much harder than my last car. This Jeep is a gold/brown color with the gold rims, and even though it's not a brand new car, it still gets a lot of looks. I am 6'2 and this is comfortable for me, even with the sunroof. I have had the pleasure to take my Jeep off road 3 times now, and even with stock everything, it does a wonderful job. I am not afraid to take this anywhere.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

When the car is in park and you shift to D and it lurks forward, it means you haven't depressed the brake pedal enough. Just different brake pedals are adjusted different. My 93 never did this, but 98 does if I'm not careful. Not a big prob though;)
