  • Brakes, Drivetrain and Electrical Woes - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have had many makes of automobiles Japanese, German and American but this is the most problematic of them all. I purchased a Limited 4X4 with all the goodies, V8, Quadratrac etc,etc... The brakes have been among the worst I have ever owned needing replacement before 15K miles. The transmission has a mind of its own, clunking off downshifts at slow speed and upshifting harshly when cold. The electrical system has been a nightmare randomly flashing the headlights when the vehicle is unattended. I should have done my homework before I purchased this vehicle. Shame on me!

  • One hot hot rod - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I love the performance of the Grand. I put in a K&N air filter and Bosch platinum 2 plugs. Handles great. She is a daily driver as I deliver pizza with the Grand; not the best gas mileage but stuck until VW gets fixed. Very comfortable, best vehicle to make deliveries with. I have not had any major problems yet. The transfer case was shot when i bought it and was replaced by the warranty. It does have the mechanical whine and the rotors and calipers are starting to warp, but there is a settlement to replace those now. The transmission does shift funny from time to time and the rear end is starting to groan when making slow sharp turns. She does have 132,000 miles and still running strong.

  • This major restyle year was totally hot! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    A 2000 Jeep was the start of the restyle that turned heads along with mine. Its macho, stylish, powerful, and the full time 4 wheel drive is great for those ski weekends, and perfect for the extremely poor road conditions we face everyday. Those pot holes hardy faze the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now, the way you maintain your auto is 90% of the equation. Oil and filter changes are done every 3000 to 3500 miles eliminates 90% of problems you will have on any auto. I know folks who ignore the nurturing aspect of ownership and then blame the manufacturer when they break down, because of the owners negligence. My Jeep is running like new after 100,000 miles.

  • Incredible, funny and sporty SUV - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    If you are looking for SUV and do not require a looot of room for cargo/backseats, this is the SUV for you!!!! After Merecedes took over Jeep/Chrysler everything started to improve on the american plants of Chrysler/Dodge/Playmouth.... And this is a true example of it... Fun to drive, nice sound system, best 4X4 system in the world (Quadra-drive), I only think Audi QUATTRO is better, but hey they do not make SUVs....

  • Love my jeep - only one problem (so far) - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I leased my 2000 JGC brand-new, then purchased at the end of my lease. I had one problem that took a year and 6 visits to the dealership to fix - presented as a problem with the coolant resevoir and ultimately turned out to be a cracked head gaskets. No problems whatsoever since this was fixed. I drive 90 miles per day, mostly highway, and get about 21mpg. I have thought about trading for something with better efficiency or newer and more reliable, but cant find anything I like as much. Only time I have trouble is when the roads are icy (rear wheel drive), but thats my problem for not going with the 4x4. I love my Jeep and plan to buy another in future.

  • Jeep Laredo 4x4 - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This Grand Cherokee may be 6 years old, but its still gorgeous and aging very well. My only gripe on the Laredo model would be the rear plastic bumper. Its hollow and someone recently rear ended the small right "bump" inwards. I was surprised that this being a Jeep, you would think the bumper would be more substantial.

  • my jeep - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I have a 2000 Jeep grand Cherokee limited 4.7l v8 efi and I love it. I have a supercharger on it, k&n cold air intake, throttle body, throttle body spacer, Hooker headers, and flowmaster exhaust, streetglow neons underneath and inside. And inside I have 3 jl audio 12 subs with 2 1,000 Watt amps.

  • Love it despite problems - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I am the 3rd user of this car. Heated seats & a/c dont work. sunroof no longer seals, power locks are iffy, and previous user had to fix transmission. My feet get hot from engine heat. Replaced the hatchback and hood shocks. I will try to solve the A/C and locking issues. We sealed up the sunroof b/c its a waste anyway - just lets in heat. The biggest problem I have had is the "death wobble". We rebuilt the front-end for $1000 in parts and under a yr later we had the problem again. hubby met a jeep guy and I just bought under $200 aftermarket 2nd steering stabilizer. He was ready to push it off a cliff. Id rather spend a $1k to get this fixed than to spend another $2k on another vehicle.

  • Decent SUV for the money - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle used with 96K miles. So far I have had no problems other than the brakes wrapping. However its a heavy vehicle, and coming from someone who used to drag race, its really not a big deal; replace the brakes with an aftermarket setup and you are done. I have no complaints with this SUV. It plows through snow, moderate/minor ice and rain like a charm and gets pretty decent gas mileage. I average between 18 - 19mpg with mixed city/highway driving (Nashville, TN rush hour traffic) Ive gotten up to 22mph on the highway with cruise set at 75 mph.

  • FENG SHUI - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I believe its important to endure in a vehicle that makes you feel at home and suits your taste. If more people truly enjoyed their interiors they wouldnt be in such a mad rush to get the #&!! out of it. Instead they would enjoy their ride better and take it easier on the roads.
