  • Beware - 1997 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    My Jeep has had nothing but problems. Radiator cracked, windows leak, doesnt start most of the time. I have replaced many sensors, hoses, and more. Has had about $4,000 put into it and still doesnt run well. Hasnt held up like I expected. Has a little over 100,000 miles.

  • I Used To Love It! - 1997 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    It was 3 years old when we purchased it. I have loved my jeep for many years but 3 years ago (100,000 miles) we had a problem with it continually overheating. That led to a new engine, new radiator, etc. Also, have had to have 2 window motors replaced, tranny lines replaced and thankfully (sort of) before the 3 yr/36000 mile warranty on the new engine expired it cracked the head. That was replaced and now it is again overheating. Ive had it!

  • Good Jeep! - 1997 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    My Jeep was given to me for my 17th birthday present, I like it a whole lot, accept for the low gas mileage, and the rough ride. My o2 sensors went out and I needed a new caddy converter. One more thing is my seats are beginning to squeak a lot but other than those its a fun car!
