  • Havent seen my Jeep in almost a month.. - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    Bought a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2W drive. AutoNation "certified" and under limited warranty. Had a nagging "clunk" when shifting from N to D, not all the time. Turns out I needed a differential & transfer case. Due to warranty process, car had to be inspected by an AutoNation adjuster - took over a week for dealership mechanic to make appt. then 3 day wait then 1 day eval and then had to get OK to proceed. Jeep dropped off on 1/25/03, still in the shop as of today, waiting for parts. Part of problem is the Jeep ran fine- apparently problem had been present for some time, but no one noticed. No official cause for the mechanical problem.

  • Bring it back! - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    Bought this with 50K after riding through very rough terrain in a friends Cherokee that had 250K. Im now at 140K. I meet people all the time who tell me they are the best vehicle ever, and who have very high mileage. I use it on very, very bad "roads" in the hills of backwoods East Tennessee and also to commute and to haul electronic equipment. This Jeep does it all. Its true its not a pretty soccer moms car, so what, thats not what I want. Oh please bring it back! By the way, people around here love them and keep them forever.

    I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I bought it back in September of 04. I bought it with 55,000 miles on it, and it has 59,000 at the moment. I would suggest getting a high performance air filter and an inexpensive lift kit. I put a 2" lift on mine and it really makes a difference, not only on the outside, but the ride quality is much better. I would definitely recommend this car, especially because of the cost of gas these days. I get about 18 miles per gallon, and where I live, I pay about $40 to fill it up. Also, the 4.0L 6 cylinder engine has a lot of power, especially when you add the air filter. When i bought it, it had about 190hp, now its cranking out about 205hp.

    I bought this car car new. It has been reliable. 187000 miles now. Never had an issue with the transmission. Awesome offroad, and snow performance - never been stuck in mud or snow. Part time 4x4 is great. 17 mpg average. Got 21 mpg once on highway trip. Replaced normal things- alternator, belt, brakes, tires. Stuck with regular maintenance. Replaced several window motors, and has had several electrical glitches.Recently had head gasket replaced (approx. $800) due to oil leak - first leak Ive had. Now evaporator coil is cracked ($1300 repair, or no AC). It may be getting close to time to replace, but I really dont want to get rid of it. With new tires, its impossible to surpass off road

  • The best toy ever. - 1999 Jeep Cherokee

    Really fun vehicle. Easy to work on. You can push it hard and gives you everything back. Great vehicle for loading with accessories. Grill guard, roof rack, lift, you name it and this vehicle can take it. It was a solid purchase.

  • 1999 Cherokee Sport 4dr 4wd - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    My Jeep is a company vehicle and I bought it off the lot new. My work causes me to travel on short notice at any hour and in any weather. I havent had a problem in 150,000. It has been very dependable and I have used the 4wd when needed. It has been maintained well but the only money spent other than maintenance was for brakes ( shoes and pads ) tires at and tuneup at 70,000. Have had the windshield replaced do to rock chips or cinders during bad weather. On long trips I would like to have more leg room but over all its been great. Maybe I got lucky but based on my experience I can recommend it.

  • Dream come true - 1999 Jeep Cherokee

    I bought this Jeep with 90k on it. I now have 125k just a year and a half later, I have had no mechanical problems whatsoever. I have put a 4 inch lift and 33 inch tires on this Jeep and I am still happy about the gas mileage. It takes me wherever I need to go. The engine is very powerful, I can spin the tires whenever I want. Ive wanted a Jeep since I could remember and I dont plan on ever selling it. If it gets totaled I plan on buying another one. I love it and recommend it to anyone.

    An awesome vehicle! Reliable 4 wheel drive, great handling. Gas is a little ruff, but worth the price. I give the Jeep Cherokee a A+!
