    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

  • Overland overall value - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    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.

    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.

  • Great Looking and Plush - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    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.

  • the best SUV on the market - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    its luxurious, fast, good looking what else can you expect from a SUV. It goes 0-30 mph in 2.3 seconds that is comparible to a high performance sports car. I know that is enough for me!!!

    Overall my experience with this vehicle is a favorable one especially for this being a Chrysler product, (for I was a dissatisfied Dodge owner in the early 1990s). The vehicle has a sporty look, is roomy and has a comfortable ride.

  • Marred by atiquated technology - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Probablly the best domestic mid sized SUV on the market. Unfortunetly Jeep conintues to utilize antiquated motor designs poor quality single caliper brakes that are too small for the truck. Even the transmission "bangs" into reverse or drive every time its engaged. Fit and finish is fine and the interior is much more comfortable than most imported SUVs. The stereo system is supurb. But Id much rather have the ability to brake and change gears than the added creature comforts Jeep adds. Replaced the front brake rotors at only 7k miles.

  • Awesome truck - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I just bought this truck......I was a little aprehensive with the negative relaibility reviews, but with 0% financing and getting the truck for $3200 off sticker, I couldnt pass it up. I compared it to the 4runner, pathfinder and the durango. The cherokee has many more options for the money. The truck rides great and I love it....!!!!!

  • Love Jeep, Hate Quality - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I love my Jeep, from a driving standpoint. With the V8, its quite responsive and fun to drive. Everyone always comments on how comfortable and quiet it is Great for long road trips and nasty weather. But this is the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. Luckily we bought an extended warranty when we purchased this vehicle. I cant imagine how many thousands of dollars it has saved us. Problems we have had: the rotors warp and need replacing (3 times so far, until we switched to non-Chrysler parts), bad power steering system, transmission pump, electrical shorts, jammed locks, faulty heating and A/C.
