  Work Horse - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By HighMiles - December 5 - 3:26 am

  Bought the beast with 79k miles and now has 215k. Maintained every 3-4k and only major issues were front steering knuckles, sway bar links and most recently the exhaust manifold. 4.0L 6 cylinder engine is a workhorse.

  I hope the newer Jeeps are better! - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By blackjeep - December 5 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Jeep with 47K miles and until recently its been great. I now have 100K miles and several problems. The tranny is poorly design because I now have slippage. The interior door panel are garbage due to the poor choice of material(it shrinks in heat). I have to replace the distributor next, after just replacing the ball joints. If the ratings for the newer models are as bad, Jeep will soon be out of business.

  Bought as is from a used car lot. - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By terjej - October 4 - 10:51 am

  Step daughter wanted a Wrangler but we talked her into a Cherokee. This vehicle was found on Craigslist and is white with gold trim. It has dark grey leather interior and a lot of extras. Had a lot of issues with the jeep in the beginning. Radiator sprang a leak and had to be replaced, then the water pump and thermostat soon went out. The jeep then had a problem with shutting down when driving and was totally unreliable. Had to replace the crankshaft and cam shaft position sensors before that problem went away. Changed out the battery for a heavy duty one. Replaced the rotor, distributor cap and spark plug wires. Changed out the fuel filter and worked on the shift cable.

  Forever Reliable Plus Comfort - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Frank Badolato - October 2 - 10:10 pm

  My Jeep has taken me through college and now with 4 children. I dont doubt that if I keep up with regular maintenance that it will easily last another 150000 miles. It is the only one of our cars we trust in all forms of weather.

  Worthless - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jenz - September 29 - 10:00 am

  I thought I was buying a reliable rough and tough vehicle. I was sorely wrong. I bought it with 50k miles on it. At 68k the transmission went out, radiator cracked and brakes went out. The warranty co. did not pay because they said this was normal wear and tear on jeep cherokees. I am at 70k and my water pump, fan clutch and idle clutch just went out. In less than a year I have spent $3000 in repairs. I have a Ford Aerostar that has over 100k miles on it and have never had a problem with anything. I will never buy a Chrysler product again! Dont waste your money on this piece of junk!!!!!

  Great Ride! - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 1st Time Jeep Owner - September 22 - 10:00 am

  My Jeep has done everything Ive asked of it with only insignificant problems. Was skeptical of Jeep quality at first, and have only driven GM cars in the past. Now a big fan of the Gr. Chreokee. Ive replaced the stab. bar and tire rods at 90K and water pump at 105K. Nothing else has gone wrong and Ive driven this car long, fast and hard. And the heated seats in cold MI weather are great!

  One of the better Jeeps - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By joe b - August 16 - 10:00 am

  This is the third GC I have owned. Used it off road and put lots of highway miles on it. Just traded it on a new wrangler. This CG came with a transmission problem that took the third dealership to correct. By this time the vehicle was out of warranty and Jeep refused to pay for fix. Cost me over $600. Overall trouble free, for a Jeep.

  I have not had my Jeep very long but I just love it. The drive is great no matter if it is a long trip or short trip.. I wanted something that my family would be safe in and I found it..I will have a Jeep from now on.

  By T-daddy - July 27 - 4:06 am

  My 1996 jeep has been great overall. I have had to replace the water pump, the oil pump, the alternator, the radiator, and the brakes/tires/shocks. In addition, I had to replace the catalytic converter. Otherwise the jeep is rock solid other than minor issues. It is great in the rain and snow.
