1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 from North America
Summary:
A terrible waste of money
Faults:
Transmission has loud Clunk when shifting from park to reverse.
Fuel pump check valve failure at 48000 miles.
Rear differential rebuilt at 45000 miles.
Various other minor items.
General Comments:
This SUV has performed quite poorly since I purchased it 6 months ago. It has been riddled with faults and problems, costing me and Jeep both considerable money and time. I owned a Nissan Pathfinder for 4 years prior to this vehicle, and never experienced any problems! This car is always getting service and never is fixed properly.
What else can I say, compared to the Pathfinder, this car has terrible fuel economy, poor handling, lousy air conditioning, and unimpressive ride.
I purchased this vehicle because I was considering buying a boat, and felt the Jeep would pull it well. I'm afraid to put a boat on the back of this thing now, as it may only compound the faulty manufacturing of this vehicle and create more issues.
DO NOT PURCHASE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE!!!
Unless you want to spend lots of money and time at your local dealer service department!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
