Son has a 2000 Jeep grand Cherokee..Bought it with almost 80 thousand on it..Previous owner had already replaced the tranny in it. We bought it less then 2 years ago and have since put 3 thousand worth of brakes and air conditioning system repairs into it and now in the month of August right before he went back to Pullman ( Baseball player for Wazzu) 2800.00 dollar transfer case.. I am ashamed of some of the products being produced by American manufactures...Not really workmanship issues, just poor quality parts being installed. Not designed and built to last... The stories are a lot of the same on a variety of message boards.. Which if you're researching a new car purchase, look at the message boards for consistent problems so you know what you could be getting yourself into.. And let me tell ya the prices of the cars nowadays don't reflect cheap details being put into them.. They are priced as if they are made of gold.. Sucks http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=pfwc&cp=26&gs_id=3i&xhr=t&q=JEEP+GRAND+CHEROKEE+ISSUES&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=JEEP+GRAND+CHEROKEE+ISSUES&aq=0&aqi=g1g-v3&aql=f&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=fc1f175dc4ba964c&biw=1280&bih=865 |

Carp, to add to what others have said, that 4.0l motor is probably Jeep's best ever but it's a known oil leaker from every possible orifice. Transmission cooler lines are frequent leakers but easy to change, the biggest issues on the newer ones IMO is the heater core! The newer Jeeps are well known for eating heater cores on a pretty regular basis, I have been wanting to put a zync in a couple of these problem children to see if it will cure them. If you are looking for an all around rig for her that is tough, gets decent mileage and is fantastic in the snow look at a Subaru but steer clear of any between 99-03 due to head gasket issues. |

I appreciate it a lot guys. Just the kind of info I was looking for. I am the first guy that will always admit when I know nothing about a subject. This is one of them, so info like this is great! I am just looking for a good rig for her and this one poped up. Sounds like its kinda a 50/50 rig. Can be good or bad, plus sounds like tranny issues around 100000 is pretty common. |

Everone I know with a GC without a V-8 wishes it had more power. My wife has a honda pilot, and it has a V-6, and it is a great all around rig. It gets decent mileage, the AWD system works well, and it has a 4WD system for under 15 MPH that works great in deep snow. I have only used it twice, other than that the AWD system has performed great. I has a lot of room inside for how small it is. Good Luck! |
