  Great Mid-Sized SUV - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jim - May 19 - 11:03 pm

  Ive owned my 2002 Grand Cherokee Since Sept. 2001. We have the Laredo V8, with leather, sunroof, heated seats, and the upgraded audio package. This is my 4th Jeep, and the 3rd Grand Cherokee in our family. We have two kids, two dogs, two jet skis, and a 24 power boat - this truck handles it all. I have only had one major repair related to the defroster, but it was expensive ($1000). I follow the maintenance schedule and get great reliability. We live in Chicago, and I never get slowed down because of snow. Im getting ready to trade this one in, and am looking for the same model with low miles. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a really functional SUV.

  Jeep AC problems - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By megd1 - April 11 - 10:00 am

  I just bought a 02 Grand Cherokee Laredeo and the AC is horrible. We live in El Paso TX were the temp stays above 100 degrees. The problem is that my Ac does not produce cold air at all it is a sauna in the back seat! The dealer says that it is fine but you can not tell by looking at my young children getting out of the rear seat. The maintenance Tech said they have numerous complaints about it. So if live were it gets very hot think twice before buying a Jeep

  Its fast, fun to drive, handles great for an SUV and a joy to look at. The interior is just as nice as most luxury cars.

  My Lithia Lemon . - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jcislo - March 19 - 10:00 am

  My initial impressions of my Jeep where quickly changed to those of regret and hopes that I was in some sort of bad dream but it really was a nightmare. My Jeep has 17000 miles on it , the brakes are in need of being replaced for the third time due to some sort of recall problems. The engine light has needed to be reset nine times, the gas tank has been replaced due to leaks, and as I write this the engine light is on again.. Chrysler said there are 400 things that can make the light come on but they cant find the problem but they refuse to replace or buyback this poor excuse of an SUV.. I would not recommend this vehicle to my worst enemy.

  Swapping Ends - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Lt. Sandy Fagina - February 28 - 10:00 am

  This 4x4 Jeep is fun to drive if the front end is in front. If you ever need extra adrinaline in your life you can occasionally spin a tire or two (only in 2wd) and if youre lucky, fish tail it in the rain. The reliability could be better. At about 3000 miles a camshaft sensor malfunctioned, shutting down the entire car, immobilizing it.

  A Joy To Drive - Update! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jailon - February 16 - 2:00 am

  I first put this under the 03 model year, but have a 02. Heres a recap: All A++++ marks for this car. I am so pleased, and have received an endless flood of compliments. It has all the features, amenities, and comfort of a luxury "SUV", for $10K less, and the REAL capability to go hardcore off- road. On a side note, I really wanted to mention that if you live in Southern California, AVIOD Glendale Star Chrylser Jeep. 90% of their staff is the epitome of the sleazy, heartless car salesman. The one guy who wasnt had only worked there for a week! Hate hate hate the dealership, love love love the car.

  2nd Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Coloradojeep - January 7 - 1:10 pm

  This is my 2nd Jeep - I feel theyre very reliable, but it is a DOG in the mountains, no oomph up there at all - all the other SUVs pass me by. Wish it just had a little more "kick" to it! Other than that, its been reliable - I bought it at 21K and Im at 84K right now. Very dependable still.

  Keep Trying Chrysler/ Jeep - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jeepjnk - December 5 - 10:00 am

  For a $30k+ vehicle, the Grand Cherokee is more trouble than it is worth. 4 recalls, 2 rear diffs. later and only 10k miles. I should have bought an MDX!

  Stay away - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By FromLovertoHater - November 30 - 10:00 am

  Bought new (for a really good price) in March of 02. Started having trouble from the get go. Had the left rear tire blow out every 3,000 miles, then at 11,500 the tranny blew up. Thats just the beginning. Nonstop problems...gas guzzler...inside is bland. If you do get one get the V8

  By BJB - November 30 - 10:00 am

  Love the exterior design. reliability was actualy very good EXCEPT for BRAKES. Something is definitely wrong with the brakes. Why wont DC admit there is a problem with brakes or are they doing it on purpose to keep the repair shops busy? Excellent vehicle except for teh BRAKES
