  • Great inexpensive truck - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I always liked Jeeps and I think Cherokee is the best of the breed. It looks like a Jeep and drives like a Jeep and the pickup of I-6 is awesome. Very basic truck but does everything you need and you can buy it very cheap. If you are into outdoors and sports and dont want to spend a lot of $$ this is the best thing.

  • What a truck! - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    This is the third Jeep I have owned aside from the old 86 Grand Wagoneer and the 93 Jeep Cherokee. Reliability has improved over the years, I bought the 99 Cherokee Limited with 72k. I have enjoyed driving this Jeep and probably will never own any other make of suv. There is not one bad word I can say about the Jeep Cherokee!

  • I love it - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I have had my jeep for 3 years and have driven it across the country twice - it has never let me down. It handles great in the snow and I feel safe on the freeway. At 70,000+ I have had no major problems - will probably have to replace rear brake pads soon, had to have a belt tightened, insignificant leak in the transfer case...etc. In all I have put less than $1000 into repairs. This is a great car if you are looking for something fun, sporty and dependable.

    Im 61", and wish it had more room inside the cockpit. I feel squeezed sometimes. Fuel consumption is not real good with this SUV, but then again, are any of them. Makes a great beach buggy for surf fishing. this is a great car for teens who are just getting started, low cost to maintain. Good vision all around.

  • 99 Cherokee Limited - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    This Bright Red loaded Cherokee Limited is the bedt vechile I have owned to date. I bought it at 29,900 miles and it currently has 38,900 on the clock. Recently took it for a 1000 mile round trip to Niagara Falls and the Ride was great. The power leather seats were very comfortable, and the Factory tint on the windows prevents the dark gray seats from heating up to much. We averaged 17.8 miles to the gallon which was dissapointing, but the Truck as a whole makes up for the loss in MPG.

  • Fun Jeep -- Increasing Cost of Ownership - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    When a vehicle has 100,000 miles, I know we have a lot of work to do. This is no different. Tires, shocks, battery, brakes, etc. are normal. Electronics should be a bit more resilient. The air conditioning coolant has a leak. Of the 3 Chrysler vehicles I have owned, this seems to be their plan to encourage us to sell the vehicle; the system always fails around 90,000 miles and the transmission fails around 100,000-120,000. Planned obsolescence? Other makes seem to be more robust for this, but I digress. Other that that, a nice vehicle, fun to drive as an SUV.

    I bought my Jeep in Dec, 08 it rides very good in bad weather conditions, but the previous owner must have went off roading with it, cause the ride was very rough, replace shocks and struts an that helped alot, it had 110,000 on it an now has 123,000 been having electrical issues as of late, this is a suv that I wouldnt hesitate to buy brand new, am looking to upgrade to a 2001 with less wear an tear! Gas mileage isnt a problem as has been reported by other buyers!

  • A Great Friend - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I have had my 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport since brand new. I am very impressed with its reliability. Always starts and it never fails. It is fun to drive but a bit painful as you feel the road. The quality of the workmanship on this SUV is excellent. Impressive. My Jeep has 170,000 miles and it still feels good to drive. I am ready for a new car and the Jeep goes to my 16 year old daughter. I trust this small truck enough that I am giving it to my daughter. No complaints from me.

  • Really Crappy Wiring - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    After 10 years, nearly every wire in the Jeep is cracking and beginning to fail. Intermittent failures in the window operators, instruments, radio. Cruise control, horn and airbag are all out of commission. Car has never been crashed or bumped and has had only light 4wd use, but body panels are coming loose, trim strips and bumpers are falling off. Transmission is noisy. Death wobble is getting steadily worse even after new tires, shocks, dampener and alignment. The Jeep is the newest of my three cars and the only one that I seriously want to get rid of. VERY Disappointed.

  • Impressive quality/reliability - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    No major problems. Cant believe that it has lasted like this. We take good care of it, and it looks almost new. Almost no rust - surprising for WI. Strong engine/tranny. Interior shows almost no wear. All repairs have been maintenance issues - nothing major. Easy to work on. Would highly recommend.
