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.

Not worth the investment - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By j4man - September 9 - 9:10 amI bought a used 2002 GC Limited with less than 50k miles in 2008. JGC is pretty reliable and fun to drive since its more truck than car and I enjoy Limited features of leather heated front memory seats, power mirrors, power sunroof, 4WD as well as having a tape deck and rear 10 disk cd changer. But like other reviewers I have experienced numerous repairs and the poor gas mileage that make the vehicle not worth owning. Repairs: several coolant leaks and had to replace driver side power window motor in addition to routine maintenance. Frustrated with poor gas mileage, memory seat malfunction, rubber coming off of doors,and lack of side window defogger. I prefer Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot

Awesome Overland - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Dave C. - August 28 - 2:00 amI have 28,000 miles on 2002 Inferno Red JGC Overland. No problems at all since purchase August 2002. Absolutely the best all around vehicle Ive ever owned. I drive approx 36000 miles/yr and expect this truck to last 7-10yrs.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Bige - August 8 - 2:00 amComing to the end of a 3yr lease on a 1999 Grand Cherokee. Here are some of the lowlights of my last 3yrs. Doorlocks went out twice,1st year and again in the last 6 mos. . Drivers seat weld broke. Mickey mouse plastic trim shows much wear . Trasmission occasionally slips. No guts at all. All my driving was onroad, I couldnt imagine taking this wimpy POS offroad. I would absolutely never buy or lease another Daimler-Chrysler product ever again. Just a terrible product! Good luck to anybody who would buy one of these in any year. Every other Grand Cherokee owner Ive spoken to has had a similar experience

Do yourself a favor...buy something else - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By fedup0174 - August 4 - 2:00 amI bought my 2002 JGC Limited with the 4.7L high output engine in December of 2001 and have regretted it ever since. 30 minutes after I drove it off the lot a hose came off, overheating the engine and stranding me. The Jeep has been at the dealership 6 times for brake problems and after over $2000 in repairs still have the same problem. The mirror memory has never worked, has to be set every time vehicle is started. It likes to die at stop lights for no apparent reason and after a $1200 "tune-up" at the Dealer and given a clean bill of health continues to do so. The starter has failed and been in the shop twice and recently started failing again.

Dont buy a grand cherokee - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By denver - July 21 - 7:33 amI purchased a 2001 jeep and went to trade it in yesterday (after 6 months of owning) and the dealership said it is only worth $17,500. Since I paid $25,000 6 months ago, what a loss!! It has been in the shop 8 times. Key sticks in ignition, power steering pump was replaced twice. Then 2 days ago the whole thing shut down and stalled. The closest dealership replaced gaskets and sensors. Why all these things happen with a brand new suv with 10,000 miles is beyond me.

Nice vehicle. - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By ladibuugs7 - July 11 - 10:00 amYouve gotta love a Jeep. The gas milage is not great but what do u expect in a SUV. Jeep did a great thing when they put the spare tire under the luggage space and out of the way.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By bebo33 - June 1 - 12:14 amI bought this used for my wife. She loves everything about it. Me? I hate sinking more money into a below average SUV. Ive replaced driver and rear power window motors. Ive replaced the radiator twice. Rear tail light circuit board went out. Air only blowed on defrost wouldnt blow on your face or feet, and its gets awful gas mileage for even an SUV. Bought it with 86K miles it now has 120K. Ive done everything mentioned above in just over two years. My first Jeep was a 95 Wrangler that was great, but when the wife is ready for something newer we are going to pass the Jeep dealerships and look for something with fewer problems.

Great Vehicle, but - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Loveland - May 15 - 12:53 pmI bought this vehicle new in Sept 2002. Love everything about it, except that the darn engine light comes on at least every six months. The latest is for something to do with emissions. Come on, this is ridiculous.

Has been a great SUV--68,000 miles - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By jeep owner - April 29 - 5:26 amHave owned this car since new--now has 68000 miles on it. This has been a great vehicle for snowy northern winters--the best traction of any vehicle I have ever owned on ice and snow. Gas mileage is about what youd expect with a V8 engine. Great pick up, effortless highway cruising, very maneuverable in town, pulls my utility trailer with garden tractor with no problem. Lots of features and accessories--sunroof, overhead console, etc. Have had no problems with this car except for a single warranty replacement of front brake rotors at 35000 miles. No other problems at all. Replaced the tires at 60,000 miles and they still had tread left! Wont hesitate to buy another Grand Cherokee.

Drove it everywhere loved the thing had it for a year put maybe 30k miles the transmission went out luckily i bought the extended warranty they fixed it a couple months go by the ac quits working ($1,000 repair) then the window motor breaks on the passenger window ($500 repair) another month later the driver window motor breaks ($500 repair) power steering ($300 repair)the heated seats broke the speakers busted didnt fix those two repairs. The transmission just went out again at 120k miles so I sold it for salvage because i refuse to spend another dime on it
