1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited from North America
Summary:
No good
Faults:
Broken tie-rod, front rotors (twice),driver's door popped (open stop?), shifter cover, rear end bearings at 60K miles, leaking gear casing, check engine light came one and it cost me over $100 to have it turned off with no findings of problem.
General Comments:
I'm fed up and want to know if all Grand Cherokees have these problems and should I give up and get something else!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I to have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought used and enjoyed driving it home. However after driving it for 24 months I have replaced the rear-end once, 3 tweeters for the infinity sound system and (no I don't crank it) gas tank had a leak, replaced driver side window regulator, driver side side-mirror. Occassionaly the transmission shifts incredibly hard. I tell you it scares me to drive it sometimes. I have also had to replace the rotors and brakes. Will this Jeep ever be what I expected? I don't think so. I just want to be done with it.

Two happiest moments-bought it, and now when I sell it! What a piece of junk, my 1999 GC Ltd only has 49K miles on it. Brakes all around w/rotors twice, twice for idle air control, check engine lite still illuminates, power door lock motor, 3 tracks on CD Changer don't work... shifting is klunkish.. seems like it likes my mechanic's garage more than mine! Sell it!

My 1999 Grand Cherokee has also been a huge disappointment. Warped brake rotors, bad front wheel bearings, bad tie rod ends, bad fuel pump, all before 60,000 miles. This vehicle has never been driven off-road and has had all scheduled maintenance. What a piece of junk!!

What year is your Jeep? I have a 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited, and I don't seem to be having any problems with it. The only problem that I have is that I notice that the "Perform Service" keeps coming up everytime I start it up, but yet there is mp service to be performed on it. I don't know I like my Jeep.
