  • The best & longest vehicle ever owned - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Bought my Jeep with 69k, now rolling 95k. Only minor problems, nothing I needed a shop for. Fan relay the most recent. HVAC smells of mildew & AC doesnt blow cold anymore & doesnt hold a charge. Seems like every car Ive bought always looses AC after a year :( buy hey, its a jeep, who needs AC :) This is my daily driver, driving 100 a week/2x month. Never had any problems with the engine & spark plugs are easy to change on the I6 engine. I would buy another jeep, just not a new one

    My experience with this car has been excellent, although now that I have over 70,000 miles, there have been a few minor annoyances. The driver window switch stopped working and had to be replaced. Replacing the headlight bulb is a hassle. The gas milage has been disapointing- about 14.5 mpg. The engine is great- lots of power and acceleration. Other than the few minor items above, it has been a great car. The ride is a little harsh. The exterior styling looks great.

    This SUV rides so comfortably and we always get compliments on it. Very few issues. The computerized metrics/displays are really helpful and advanced.

  • Good but not Great - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is the 3rd Jeep Ive owned and Ive always had great luck. I havent spent a dime on repairs with any of my Jeeps, however, I dont have as much confidence in my 99. Its a great SUV but the few premature squeeks and rattles, and overall quality has got me thinking if I should start looking for a replacement. Maybe a Japanese product??

    My jeep has only 75,000 miles on it and this is the second time the drivetrain has been worked on. Most recently the rear differential went out costing $1600 to fix, the transfer case and the front differential have all been worked on also. I love the engine but the 4 wheel drive system is subpar to say the least.

  • Jeep = Worst Junk Car - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    It is such a junk car!!! Since I bought it, I have kept getting back to dealer for repairing, radio noise,gas tank leak,window noise, power window not working,power seat not moving, door can not be unlocked, engine check light on, so on........If any one wants a reliable car, never look at the Jeep!!!! Take the lesson from me! But you like the fancy functions and dont care to visit Jeep car dealer for fixing "small problems" once a month, go ahead for it.

  • Good performance and looks. Cheap used. - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought this 8 cyl. Jeep at three years old, 29k miles, for just over half its original price (paid $18k), after deciding that $40k was too much for new. Original buyers depreciaion loss was my gain. I couldnt be more pleased, even if Id bought it new. My wife loves the looks and power around town with our children. It handles great in snow and ice, is comfortable on long drives, and has performed admirably in light off-road use (fishing, hunting, camping). We had to replace a transmission sensor to fix hard shifting ($150), as well as replace the stereo (covered under the extended warranty). Starting to get a little brake pulsing at 50k miles.

    Smooth as butter on and off road. I take it off road every weekend and it performs wonderfully. Great traction for driving in the rain. Take it through the car wash and it is ready to go to town.
