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.

  Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited V8 - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Steve - April 24 - 6:06 pm

  Bought in March 2002 new. Now 70k miles. Problems only: brakes and rotors fixed 4 times, differential leak twice-still leaking, ac air blend door actuator replacement ($1300), starter, power steering line replacement-leaking again!, CD changer-just installed third one!, fuel pump, passenger side mirror memory replaced by dealer at 20k-still not working, front and rear shocks leaking at 40k!, noisy power steering, battery died at 12k, heater core replacement at 57k, lights on dashbord goes off sometimes for a few seconds! WHAT NEXT? Are this parts from 99 cents store? Manufacturer should include extra Jeep with purchase of new one for parts like buy 1 get 1 free.

  I like it! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By MP - April 16 - 10:00 am

  Not sure what everyone is complaining about - I really like this SUV! We used to have a Pathfinder and that was definitely more refined inside and drove more like a car, but the Jeep is great too. It is a bit more "trucky" than the Pathfinder but it is a lot of fun and looks better in my opinion (less sporty, more classy).

  Trend Bucking Laredo Delivers 220K Before Giving Up the Ghost - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By steve_f1 - February 21 - 4:38 am

  I bought my GC new, in Aug, 2002. Its only options were side curtain airbags. Its finally giving up the ghost, as its turning over to 220,000 miles. Its been the image of reliability. Replaced: Starter - 175K, 1 rear wheel bearing - 130K, power steering hose - 165K, 1 ignition coil - 143K. It burned a quart of oil every 4K until about 180k, when it began going through a quart every 5-600. It still starts instantly. Brakes? Of course. They went rumbly 17K, but I then had them turned on the vehicle, and they were good for another 50. I upgraded them to the later style calipers, and added ATE grooved rotors at 126K. Sadly, its leaking and smoking badly now. New ride time.

  Unfortunate Unreliability - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By envoy2002 - January 31 - 7:26 pm

  Had JGCL V8 for 1 and half years. 36000 miles. Repeated mechanical problems, some which were replaced identically 3 or 4 times. Chrysler is taking back the vehicle. For $38K vehicle, it should not fall apart so quickly. Pitty since it is a beautifull looking vehicle and has nice interior amenities (granted, not as many as others, but quite ergonomic and functional).

  Outstanding mountain vehicle - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ocular2 - January 14 - 2:00 am

  Theres a reason you see so many JGCs in Colorado. They work well in the city, cruise comfortable on the highway at 90 mph, but they excel off- road. Off-road capabilities place it in an elite class including the Land Cruiser, the Range Rover and G-wagon. I have had mine for a year and have not had a reason to go back to the dealer other than for oil changes, tire rotations, and adding additional skid plates.

  My First Jeep - I love it! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By anjohsen - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I always loved the way the Grand Cherokee looked, but was a little nervous about the reliabilty rating. I got a great deal and after over a year Ive had no problems at all. I just love driving it and will definitely buy another next time (except Ill probably spring for the 4WD).

  POS Car - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JVaughn - December 20 - 2:00 am

  I already own a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee and should have known better - I bought a 2002 and wished I could relive the day. This car has had 3 recalls, we cannot get the air conditioning to work (it will not cool) though the manufacturer says it is ok. The transmission locked up and had to be replaced (less than 6 months old), and now the replacement is slipping. Please spend your money elsewhere - this one has been a disaster.
