  • 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought this Jeep new, my first, based upon my mechanic brother recommendation for a solid family car that can handle bad roads, bad weather, etc. So far I have 123,000 miles on her, from California to Canada, to Mexico and back. I have had to replace the tires 2x, the front and rear brake rotors and pads once, the shocks once, both tail light assemblies, hood lift rods. The engine makes a ticking sound now, has since about 110,000 when shes cold, which quiets down when the engine warms up. The interior still looks great, although I have replaced floor mats twice. The car has made weird clunking sounds since new, which has never presented a problem

  • Dont believe ConsumerReports.org rating - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I was very hesitant to purchase the Grand Cherokee Limited due to the low ratings it received from ConsumerReports.org, but after test driving the car and going over the specifications personally, I have no doubt that this is a great SUV. The quality is great, and the value is even greater. I do have to admit that I am a slave to great marketing, but everything a Jeep represents it can do, I now have the option of doing so.

  • Good car needs work - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The GC is a great car to have around for the snow. I use to haul around my kayak and snowboard. The dealer is the worst place to go. They dont believe anything is wrong with the car when I bring it in. The air bag light went on and they couldnt figure out what was wrong with and told me the problem didnt exist. I took it to another dealer and they fixes it. They need a training on customer service. I used to have an Acura and they had great service. Next car I want to get is the MDX.

  • Loves to take my money - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    There isnt a better winter performance car on the road. I live in Minnesota and as soon as the snow flied, my jeep becomes the fastest car on the road in 4wd full time. The issue with this vehicle is the continuous repair fees. Ive had the below items replaced as of 122,000 miles. Power window motors front door connection to body master brake cylinder head gasket main seal rear Axel seal cruise control AC/blower flaps shocks 3 sets of tires Driver seat tracks (rocking chair) recall on seat heaters hood and rear glass support CD player display I swear to god if i didnt love this car I would burn it. Value wise, its about as bad as it gets.

  • 2004 Rocky Mountain Edition Grand Cherokee - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I purchased my Rocky Mountain Edition as a dealer demo. Fully loaded with all options except the navigation system. It is a Jeep - meaning that it has its quirks and faults. That being said; I wouldnt own anything else. I use this vehicle for my job which is building cell towers in extremely remote and rural areas such as mountain top sites. This Grand Cherokee has never left me stranded and no major problems. But keep in mind that a Jeep does need constant maintenance and care. It is not a Honda or a Toyota that you can abuse and not have any consequences. Flush the tranny every 30k, flush the cooling system every 30k, change out the differential and transfer case fluids every 40k.

  • Big Improvement - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have to say that Im overall impressed with the Gran. Cher. Laredo. Ive read alot of reviews on these Jeeps and some of them are way too critical. Although I also have a ticking noise when I start it, the ticking goes away after 5 min. or so. I think if the buyers would let the thing warm up in the mornin they would see the same results. I love the way it drives compared to every SUV Ive drove or even ridden in. Its so comfortable, my girlfriend and I drove 18 hours to Dallas and she slept 3/4 of the way. Plus it averaged 21mpg @ 75mph. I guess what Im trying to say is the Jeep has come a long way, and on that I think we can all agree.

  • Fun but only for so long... - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I really like that it is small and nimble, but also large enough for a family. I bought it new and was told 87 octane was fine. Ive since learned otherwise. It has died on me just sitting at a light several times. I also have had problems with wind noise through the driver door. The key fobs are HORRIBLE. Ive had them worked on (supposedly) at least five times and they still dont work. The absolute worst feature is that if you are in the back you either sweat to death or the passengers in the front freeze to death as they go deaf listening to the air on high.

  • Great car - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Just bought a Grand Cherokee about two months ago. I love the way that it drives like a car. I havent had a chance to test its capabilities yet, but I cant wait for the first offroad experience or snowfall. It is capable, yet agile, and the engine is quite peppy as well (4.0 L).

  • Theres hope yet for a jeep - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Always had trouble with jeeps, my wife loved them, bought it for her. So far so good. no problems at all. excellent pickup(HO V8) but the draw back is awful gas milage. handles cross country great. The overland has a stiffer suspension and is 3 inches higher. Has more of a "trucky" ride but we like it.
