2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee from North America
Summary:
Terrible vehicle, bad transmission and rotors
Faults:
At about 70,000 miles the transmission went out. We bought a 3 year warranty. The dealer (Car-max) rebuilt the transmission improperly (used the wrong transfer case). They gave us the car back and it shifted very hard into third gear. We took it back, they attempted a second rebuild. The problem was worse. Took it back again and it was sent out to a transmission place and a new one was put it.
At 80,000 miles we had the front rotors and brake pads replaced with after market parts that have a lifetime warranty.
At 81,000 the driver side front power lock has gone out. (under warranty, but have yet to bring it in). The transmission fiasco took almost 2 months.
At 84,900 the car is now idling like it is starving for gas on start up. It has also become very slow on the uptake and feels like it is not getting enough gas to the engine. Might be a fuel pump problem, but I'm not sure. It's due to go back to Car-max tomorrow.
General Comments:
I would never buy another one. I made the right decision in buying the warranty.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
