Overview & Reviews

More power for the 4.7-liter V8 and three new trim levels (SE, Sport and Overland) are on tap for this year. Also, several important safety and convenience options such as side curtain airbags, power-adjustable pedals, a tire-pressure monitoring system and automatic windshield wipers debut this year.

• Powerful 4.7-liter V8, all-terrain capability, roomy comfort for four.

• Noisy and unrefined, questionable reliability.

  Great Suv - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By hmattison - November 30 - 10:00 am

  I bought the 2002 Grand Cherokee. Love it, great suv. It drives very smoothly, for a suv. I drove in other suv, and this is by far the best. If you are looking for a jeep. This is the way to go.

  cry of the jeep owner "never again!" - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ron - November 22 - 12:13 am

  Purchased this vehicle brand new off the lot in 2002, have had nothing but problems since day one. Breaks down at least twice per year, I am writing this becaue I am on Edmunds lookin for a Toyota, last night Christmas eve was the last straw, broke down again, seems like it wont come out of four wheel drive and am burning something, smells like oil. Am guessing from the transfer case. Constantly in for brakes and rotors, this is a design flaw, was even a class action lawsuit for the breaks. Power window on pass gone, not working, has been in the shop way too much for a new vehicle. Never again will I buy a Chrysler product.

  Overland overall value - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By DRH - November 17 - 2:00 am

  High end features such as rain sensing wipers and tire air pressure readouts make for safer and less worrisome driving. Luxury truck features at blue collar price. Sure footed. Reasonable gas mileage you really look into the long term averages, the Jeep as an off road capable SUV, averages over 16mpg and doesnt mind 87 octane. It accelerates better than most of the other mid sized trucks and can tolerate 80 mph with 4wd operating. At $37k this is a well equipped, very functional vehicle that in my experience, has not presented any reliability issues.

  EHHH - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Holycow - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Bouth our Limited V8 because of looks and power. THis is the only thing I am happy about with our jeep. We have 14,000 miles on our jeep so far and it has been to the dealershipe 5 times. Two times for paint peeling off the driver door. The back leather seat actually chipped away. The outside passenger mirror actually had a hairline crack in it. The oil pressure indicator had to be replaced. This is my first and only Jeep. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AGAIN. I cant believe it paid 35+ for this piece of YEA! Were trading it off on either a Explorer or a Tahoe!!!

  BUYER BEWARE - nothing but issues! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By lschulz - November 1 - 1:54 am

  Bought fresh off the lot in 2002 for over 50 grand. Nothing but problems from the get go, and the dealership hoses you! Jeep has awful customer service. Though a nice looking vehicle on the outside, ive had the heat fixed twice now, A/C is on its third break. I swear, heat works in the summer and ac works in the winter. It started making an awful whirring sound and I noticed it was leaking fluids all over the driveway, took it to the dealer and they wanted over 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS to fix everything!! Turns out it was leaking coolant, power steering pump was cracked, and the gas caps seem to be famous for giving out on these. Now transmission is going..

  Great SUV - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Goodguy - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I love this vehicle. It is quiet, rides great, comfortable, and has great performance and fuel economy. I am averageing 18.7 MPG. We drove a lot of vehicles before we decided to purchase the jeep. We drove a Trailblazer, Durango, Explorer. For just over $29,000.00 MSRP with Leather, V-8, Dual Power seats, Power windows and lock, AM/FM CD Cassette, and much more. Any thing from GMC, Ford, Chevy with the same option was $4000-$7000 more. The jeep is more responsive and performs better than the other vehicles. It rides better than the Durango or Liberty. The 5 speed auto-transmission and V-8 work great with each other. Before you buy anything else go drive one of these.

  My Overland - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By XXXX - October 17 - 10:00 am

  My new Overland is my second Jeep. I had no problems with my Laredo V8 (it was only a year old), but the great deals had me going for top of the line. This is a really nice SUV. It has power and looks. Well see how I feel in about year.

  Where transmissions go to die - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Brdavis - October 14 - 6:46 am

  First trans went at about 90,000, second at 135,000. Also, it is no longer a 4wd until i put another 1,000 into it bringing the grand total of mechanical repairs i needed to make on this vehicle close to 7,000 or slightly half of what i paid for the car in the first place. Wouldnt recommend another jeep, looking at other cars now none of which are a jeep because Im afraid Ill get burned again.

  Second JGC - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By BPG - September 11 - 10:00 am

  This is my second JGC. My first a 96 limited. I traded it in for a 02 larado sport after 116,000 no problem miles. I got the 4.0 6 to save on gas and found I did not need all the stuff on the limited. So far a good move on my part. My mpg is better and so is the ride. The leather seats are better but do not adj as much. After 1,000 mi break in I toook it off road(dirt road w/washbord) and found the select track more fun than the all the time four wheel dtive I had before.

  Great Looking and Plush - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bill kennedy - September 6 - 2:00 am

  I find the GRand Cherokee a nice vehichle with many amenities. I was goingto buy a limited but found a laredo which is more sporty looking with the exact same options such as leather heated seats, Sun roof and electric everything. The 8 Cylender is a plus.
