  This thing is a tank - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By tlrthnu - November 23 - 1:46 pm

  This thing is a tank. Parents bought it new in 99, never had a major problem with it. The engine is rock solid. 190K miles on it and going strong as when it was new. Never had any leaks or any problems at all. Have replaced some parts outside of wear parts (rear springs, U-joints, front stabilizer shock), but this thing is tougher than nails. With new shocks and rear springs, rides better than my sports car. Even ran into a tree two years ago, had it fixed, and you could never tell anything ever happened to it. We expect to keep this Jeep at least another 100K miles. We live off three miles of rough dirt road and it takes the punishment and asks for more. Best vehicle weve ever owned.

  HORRIBLE vehicle: DO NOT BUY - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By rickd9 - July 25 - 9:58 pm

  This is the worst vehicle on the planet. Constant "Death Wobble" issues. Poorly designed. Aggravating Crank Position Sensor issues arise throughout the year (engine will not get spark causing no-start issues).

  Excellent all weather vehicle - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By aphartman - June 18 - 8:46 am

  This is my second Cherokee (the first was a 96), and Ive really enjoyed the restyle (done in 97). I get good fuel economy with the 5-speed manual, and the 4wd works well in the snow. Never breaks, but when it does its inexpensive to repair and easy to do-it-yourself. An excellent all around SUV. It isnt the newest design or the most stylish, but I think its the best. Jeep never should have killed it for the Liberty.

  NEVER - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By yz250r - June 8 - 2:14 pm

  I AM NOT SATISFIDE! This jeep was good for about 4 months mialige 118,000 to curently 123,000 miles. Resently I`v had some major scairs. The engine on and off shakes the car. I can tell because normaly it would be a smoother feeling. At about 20 to 40 mph the car will leack forwars vilontly and will not produce power for 10 to 25 seconds. DO NOT GET THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Jeep Trifecta - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By MissBailey - May 29 - 8:40 pm

  Bought this new in 99 and we love it. This was to replace my car and after test drives of others kept coming back to the Cherokee, we had bought a used 90 Cherokee in 91 that my husband used for work. When we decided to replace the 90 my husband went looking for another and we now have a 2000 Sport Cherokee. These are all going strong and shouldnt need to replace for years. The 99 gets the most mileage now as I have to travel for my job but at 130K it should last until retirement. The 90 still gets lots of use at the beach, when the kids need there cars fixed, still going strong. Bring them back Jeep, there is nothing quite like this SUV.

  Why did Jeep stop making these? - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By scatpack71 - February 2 - 9:43 am

  I bought my Jeep from the original owner in June of 2006, and Ive been very happy since day 1. I bought it with 75k, and since then ive put 23K on it since. Ive had to replace the orginal brakes on it (id suggest the ceramic brake pads), tires, and shocks, but thats been it. I also put a 2" lift kit on it, because stock 4x4 vehicles tower over it. Now its about the height of a stock 4-runner. The best thing is that its never stranded me, its been the best car Ive owned and Ive owned and sold a lot cars.

  Love my Jeep - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By medic 812 - January 30 - 3:03 pm

  I bought my black Cherokee Sport 4x4 off the showroom floor. It had a whole 9 miles on it. It currently has almost 130k on it. It has only been in the shop once, for a loose torque converter. It has always gotten 19 MPG with good gas. The engine set up makes preventative maintenance easy. Even the transmission pan has a drain plug. The I-6 is essentially a tractor motor. You cant kill a tractor and you cant kill a Jeep. Maybe they should have provided a PTO, that wouldve been handy. I still cant believe they quit making these great vehicles. Ill run mine until the wheels fall off.

  1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By carguy03 - January 24 - 9:26 am

  I had a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. This Jeep had the 4.0L I-6 with a 4 speed automatic transmission. It was a very good vehicle for the West Virginia winters, my driveway is just over 2,000 ft up a hill, and it never failed to make it all the way to the top. I liked the vehicle, but it didnt have enough room. I would reccomend it to any of my friends.

  Ride or Die Vehicle - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  By zayla4 - January 22 - 12:20 am

  I absolutely could not live without my Cherokee. Ive had it for 11 years. Bought it with 13,000 miles on it. Its been in four accidents (1 while parked), extensive road trips throughout upstate NY during my sorority days, and survived NYC potholes. Within the past two years, Ive had to change the brake pads, thermometer, radiator, steering box, battery and have multiple electrical problems resulting in shortages in the front and rear lights. Overall, she has lasted me well as hard as I drive, and Im looking for another vehicle as equally reliable.
