  • Jwaugaman review - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have put 85,000 miles on it in 3 and a half years and not had any major problems. It has excellent power (V8) and not unreasonable gas mileage.

  • I have never had this many problems... - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    If it isnt one thing its another. The window is broken, the transmission went out, the leather seats cracked, the vent on the a/c broke effectively blocking all air flow into the vehicle. I love the looks of this car, but I will never buy another one. It just got damaged by hail. I dont think I am even going to repair it. I will just trade it in as is and hopefully have a more reliable car in return - not a Grand Cherokee.

  • Terrible Reliability - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I take emaculate care of my vehicles. Regular oil changes, service inspections, etc. The vehicle is used on-road between work and home. Here are the problems 1 Window Motors 2. Fuel Pump 3. Air Conditioner 4. Transmission Slipage 5. Radiator Problems 6. Numerous Recalls Its nice they fixed most under warranty, but who wants to deal with issue after issue? The pain of dropping it off and picking it up. I just traded my Jeep (40000miles) for a Toyota Sequoia and dont regret the decision at all. Bottom line, purchasing this vehicle is a risk. Do you think youll be lucky?

    Fun to drive, extremely reliable, good looking SUV. Had problems with the brakes warping every 12000 miles.

  • All around perfect vehicle! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    After such bad luck and poor choice in vehicle purchases I feel like I finally found a gem! Purchased my 1999 JGC from a relative, me being the 2nd owner and it just rolled over 175k miles. Lucky for me it came from the south, as I live outside of Detroit and our roads and weather eat cars up. I love everything about my Jeep, it rides like a truck, but feels smooth like a luxury car. Its had overall minor replacements done, all routine work. Planning on replacing the motor in the next 6 months, as the rod bearings are just starting to act up. Other than that and some foggy head lamps, its in stellar shape. My next vehicle purchase will definitely be another Jeep!

  • Poor Quality - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have had two electric window motors burn out. The cruise has gone out. All kinds of electrical problems. Its like a Jaguar without the charm and looks. Except Jaguars are reliable now. Jeep has produced the most defective piece of machinery running with this vehicle.

  • GREAT CAR!!! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    this was an amazing car

  • Great SUV - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    My Limited has been a pleasure to own. The brake problem is the only dissappointment. Chrysler should take responsibility for their poor brake design. Other than the brakes the vehicle has been totally trouble free.
