  Satisfied - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By The Kid - February 11 - 10:20 am

  Well, Im shocked at the other reviews but not surprised. The things that happened to the others are just starting to happen to mine at 184,000 miles. Except for a serpentine belt, tires, oil, etc. this machine has been a real champ. Ive totally enjoyed driving it. I love the sound system, interior comfort, handling, and am ok with the mileage. I tow my boat, no problem. The differentials never posed a problem until Jiffy Lube put the incorrect fluid in. Then they started chattering when I steered.....that was fixed at their expense. I just replaced the tranny and transfer case so I am pleased that I can keep it for another 8-10 years. Never had a tune up or spark plug changed and still runs

  Still rolling - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By chucksizzle - January 16 - 9:56 am

  Bought new 1n 1999, all options available including 4.7 ltr v-8, have driven it all over. I have about 160,000 miles now, most miles in cold weather climate., am now in south, ac just went out, not compressor but a couple smaller parts., been repaired along with vent door problem, had 100,000 mile warranty, so all minor problems were taken care of by dealer then. Still a daily driver. My 4th Jeep.

  Drives well, but.... - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By SusanX - January 6 - 10:00 am

  I had a 1988 Cherokee Pioneer and loved that car. However, I have been disappointed in this Jeep. The power windows have each had to be repaired at least twice. The weatherstripping keeps falling off and although I have had it in twice for the rear window weatherstripping, it still leaks. Ive also had to take it in for at least four recalls in the last three years. It also has blind spots due to the thick window supports -- Ive nearly gotten into two accidents because I havent seen cars coming toward me on a curve. Would I buy another Jeep? Not on your life.

  Nice! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Matthew - December 9 - 12:36 pm

  An exellect vehicle all around. Great off-road capablitlies and fun to drive. After 8 years there were no problems with. The downside was the fuel consumption, which at best was around 20 mpg. Took very good care of it and it shows.

  Grand Cherokee fun to drive - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By daveloveshisjeep - December 2 - 2:00 am

  I have had a very good experience with my Jeep. I was a little concern about buying a redesigned model in 1999. But I bought it at the end of the model run, and they must have ironed out the kinks because I have had no problems with mine. Very reliable, fun to drive, great acceleration.

  Cant wait to get rid of it...... - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By iamjimmya - November 26 - 2:00 am

  Ive now owned it for a year and half, and in that time I will have had to had done all the things that you read on this site: had the differential seals done twice because they kept leaking, brakes, fuel line seals(to fix pressure in the fuel line), and the bearings replaced on the back end. Bought it because I loved how it looked, how it drove, (and I still do) but should have paid the extra and bought a Toyota.....

  Distress - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jeepers - November 21 - 7:53 pm

  Insurance is high, fuel economy is low. Minor problems can be very costly. According to the dealer the fuel pumps are issues. Loaded to the gills it still is nothing to brag about!

  Not bad overall - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By alenart - November 6 - 2:00 am

  So Im not the only one who has had an unexpected rotor warping or two. I love the power of the V8, but dont love the fact that Im stopping for gas every 250-275 miles. The whine from the quadra-drive is very noticeable above 65mph. At 32k, the drive shaft to the front wheels had to be replaced since it clunked every time I would take off from a stop. The front window pillars are so thick that it makes it difficult to see other cars at 4-way stops. Im short, but there isnt even enough leg room in the rear seats for me. All that aside, the heated front seats, decent ride for an suv, 4wd system overall, sunroof, and stereo all exceed my expectations.

  Fun to Drive - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Firestorm - October 25 - 11:00 am

  I have now had my Jeep for a month with no problems at all. I got this Jeep with 115000 miles and it runs and looks like new. I have heard there are problems with the 1999 Grand Cherokee but I guess by 100,000 miles all of the kinks have been worked out of this one.
