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.

  BUYER BEWARE - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Buyer Beware - May 19 - 2:00 am

  DO NOT BUY a Jeep. 3 recalls, in the 1st year. Head gasket is leaking oil, The dealers service advisor calls it, "sweating", and states that it is normal. Took me to see another Jeep, and said that this is normal, and acceptable. Seems to me that DC has a quality control problem. Will not be keeping after lease expires. Too bad, it is a beautiful vehicle, with crappy quality

  nightmare - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By monkaass - April 19 - 11:03 am

  I bought this vehicle used with 54,0000 miles on it. It has been a total disaster. I got into the truck one night was stranded because the starter blew. 2 days later the blend door went out , with the stupid dual heater, which doubles your chances for failure. Whell began to grind 2 months after I bought it. My suggestion is if you really want to buy this vehicle used, dont do it.

  Beware - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By John B - August 8 - 12:00 am

  I bought this vehicle used with 36,000 miles on it and 45,000 miles later, i am proud to say i am FINALLY getting RID of this car. The AC went twice, the parking brake randomly fell out and for some reason I just went through tires (found out that wheel barring was bent somehow). MPG is awful, the lining around the moonroof fell out constantly, heated seats broke twice, and the side paneling of the door started to fall out. I loved the vehicle at first, but I am truly not sad to see it go this week!

  I have been stranded in a 99 Grand Cherokee twice. Please dont support Chrysler, force them to get their act together. Too many other problems to list. Im a very unsatisfied Jeep customer.

  For the love of God, buy something else! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Schultzsp - December 12 - 2:00 am

  Where to start?! I have had nothing but problems in 2 years of ownership. Loud dashboard rattles and vibration, only to be told "thats what the radio volume is for." Speaking of the radio, Ive had 2 of them stop working completely. My stearing column had to be replaced because of loud "crack" that it made on left hand turns, and now the new column is doing the same thing. This time, rather than replace the column, the dealer claims it is "normal." My heated seat stopped working, my seatbelts no longer retract, and Ive had the brakes replaced due to a recall. Im trading it in for a 4Runner this week, and NEVER buying Jeep again.

  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!

  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.

  Used to love Jeeps now annoyed - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Sick of the Jeep - June 25 - 10:00 am

  This is my 3rd Jeep Cherokee. I used to love them now I hate it. I have had many problems in the past 2 months. Such a shame because aside from the numberous recalls on the other jeeps I had no problems. This one I have had the fuel pump replaced twice. I had to have the entire bottom of the car removed because of a loss bolt? Or that is what they tell me the loud noise was. I would think twice before buying a jeep. I am actually looking into getting rid of this and getting a reliable car.
