  • Typical Domestic - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    We bought our Jeep w/88,000 miles on it. After owning several foreign 4x4s I was astonished at how well it was holding up and it has been a great vehicle till it hit that 130,000 mile mark and, just like all domestic vehicles it began to literally fall apart. $$$$$$! So much for comparing it to my toyotas that went nearly 300,000 miles w/no problems.

    It is a love/hate experience. I love to look at and drive my JGC. I hate to fix it. It will roll over 200k miles next week, and has the same problems as everybody else. So do I recommend you buy an older JGC? If you drive few miles (me - 6000k per year), love to love a car, can pick one up cheap ($3000), and have AAA ... then go for it. Otherwise, buy a Toyota. With the exception of the new 4Runner, they dont drive as well, but knowing you can take a long trip without worrying about it breaking down is an enjoyable experience too. My wifes Subaru fits that bill. Also, I have a Toyota van with 325k miles as a back up. I trust it way more than the Jeep. But I LOVE to drive my JGC!

  • Money Pit on Wheels - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Bought used w/83K miles on Oct 01. Now has 117K and getting more expensive by the day. Ive racked up over $3000 in maintenance costs just in the last five months. Transfer case work, rebuilt transmission, broken motor mounts, wheel bearings, power steering pump, various steering component replacements, etc. AC has leaks. Except for the transmission and transfer case, I did all the repairs. Would have cost much more. Still needs front end work for an unknown popping sound.

    This thing has been a problem from day 1. Seems like every week something needs to be replaced. I had to put in a new engine at 88K and now it wont shift into overdrive and no one has any answers as to why. Ive put almost 15 grand into fixing this thing, Im ready to push it off a cliff!

    I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee about a year and a half ago and it has been nothing but problems. About every two to three months, something will go wrong with it. (Something different every time.) I almost have a new car by now.

  • 95 Grand Cherokee Ltd with problems - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought the vehicle used in 1996 with 30,000 miles. Loved the way it looked and the way the seats felt. I now have 118,000 miles. Very fun to drive but has reliability problems. It never left me stranded but has been a pain in the neck none the less. Here is the list of problems Ive had over the past 8 years: Transmission rebuilt twice (35k & 95k), A/C problems twice, rear wiper unit failed, left front boot, both fog lamp lens fell off, power antenna broke, radio failed, leak in radiator, power steering pump, mounting bracket for the alternator broke, passenger side mirror mount broke. Had many poor experiences at the dealer repairs centers...too many to list.

  • Highly recommend NOT buying the Jeep - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Trouble, trouble, trouble!!! This vehicle was very poorly built. Weve had nothing but trouble from the a/c, transmission and brakes. Though it was never left us stranded it has costed dearly to fix numerous times. The Jeep handles well in winter conditions only when in 4-wheel driver.

  • So far so good. - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Bought from Used Dealer at 79k in 1999, New England vehicle, now has 172K- Replaced Alternator, Ball Joints, CatConverter, Radiator, and the typical cracked exhaust manifold(actually, had the old one welded and braced better than original design). Overall this pig has been pretty good to me - It will be replaced by a 1999-2002 shortly....
