2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo 4.0 Liter from North America
Summary:
Would be cautious before buying another, husband says this is my last Jeep so I better enjoy it
Faults:
At 41290 had front brake job. At 44546 replaced Gov Pressure sensor & solenoid sensor. This cost from the dealer was over 500.00, of course not covered by manufacturer as over warranty. Currently when highway driving at speeds of 50mph vehicle has some shaking felt in the steering wheel.
General Comments:
Currently, when trying to start vehicle it tries to turn over, but seems not to catch. Dealer told me to count 7 seconds before giving up as this is normal while still cranking on the switch. This is my third jeep & it is not normal by the other two. Had a 1993 & never had the problems that I am currently experiencing. Help! Has anyone else had this happen. I would like to understand what might be happening so that I can get it fixed.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Could not agree with you more, the reliability of my Jeep is poor as well. It is safe to say that 99% of the Jeeps purchased never leave the pavement. Any of the Japanese brands, or Korean for that matter, could safely transport you from point A to B, and it would be less of a strain on your wallet. Sure, you can have some problems with a foreign brand, but it is far less likely. Just go to Consumer Reports and look at the horrible ratings the Jeeps get. I should have done my research before I purchased mine.
Oh, be prepared to hear from the responder who tells every Jeep owner with problems that you must drive it like a sports car, and that you do not know how to take care of it. What a joke. Just clean up your Jeep and hope for a good trade in allowance.
Good Luck-
