    Overall the 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4.0 2wd is very good, asl long as there are routine maintenance. After 175miles i use 5 qrts of20/50 oil with lucas oil, however i now receive a maintenance beeping sound without a readout in the cosole or engine light, normally it would display the problem...any ideas out there why/

  • JGC - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Generally, I like the Jeep a lot. All things considered, mileage seems good for this type of vehicle at 18.5 average with a 70/30% split between local and hiway driving. The brakes seem weak, but most new cars do because they use those wimpy organic pads instead of the carbon metallic ones. My rotors warped and had to be replaced in the first 5000 miles (warranty). This was with just normal driving, not with towing anything. The new ones seem better.

  • Luv My Jeep! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The factors I used to determine which SUV I was going to buy was performance, reliability, comfort, appearance and value. My search lead me to the Toyota Fourunner and Jeep Grand Cherokee. I wanted a mid-range SUV. Nothing as big as a Land Cruiser or smaller than an Explorer. I chose the Jeep after test driving both vehicles. The Toyota was very nice and I know they are dependable, but price was a factor. I got more for my money and additional options. Three years later, I still love my Jeep and would buy it again if I had to do it all over again1

  • Love My Jeep - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I love my 2000 Jeep. I am never afraid of being stuck, driving in hard places, or steep slick drives. I like the room. I haul 3,000 newspapers each week and deliver to several counties in all types of weather. My college son fell asleep for a second- ran into the back of a semi with his cruise on. He was on an Interstate & wasnt hurt. The Jeep suffered $7500 damage but repaired and runining good as ever. I was glad he was in my Jeep-the perfect height. My van or his sports car would have been bad for him. This is my second Jeep. Im looking at the new Jeeps now. I just love the Grand Cherokees!

  • Nice looking/Poor Quality - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Clearly the worse craftsmanship I have seen in a vehicle. It spent more time in the shop than any automobile I have heard of. Brakes are awful - I am on my FIFTH set of routers at 36000. The car looks great and the engine seems strong - but just about everything else has issues.

  • AGAIN - Brakes - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Less than 30K miles and two brake jobs later I went up to the dealer and they admitted that there is a TSB out to rplace brakes, but they do it only in extreme situations (hm, a lawsuit maybe?) and that did not apply in my case. They said it would be justified if I had two brake jobs in less than 10K (sic!) and really uncomfortable braking exeprience or trouble. I gave up. My car was paid off, so I quickly decided to get another one. Cant really be spending $500 on brakes ever year I owe it.

  • Not again - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Drives good, rides good, looks good but never too far from the shop. Driver side window regulator replaced twice, fuel gauge replaced, a kit installed on the fuel pump to fix a problem of hard starting, fuel pump quit working, replaced with another pump which quit after two weeks of driving. Radio speakers and tweeters replaced with regularity and finially just pulled dashboard tweeters out because even new ones would only last a month. Strut arms on hood and trunk are junk after about 2 years and I just keep replacing them. These were the problems which were the worst.

    Great truck. Tranny issues have soured me a bit. Gas milage has been ok. 4.0 litre engine under performs. If you can, get the eight.

  • My Jeep...My LEMON!! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought a used Jeep, which seemed like a great buy. To my surprise, this one is a total lemon. Everything has been replaced, and it still doesnt work correctly; radiator, cracked head gasket, oxygen sensors, long block engine, transmission leak, persistant coolant leaks. My engine almost seized several times because the coolant leaks so fast. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

  • Waste Of Money. - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I was given this vehicle as a gift for my first car. Where Im from the 4 wheel drive would come in handy, so it seemed like a good buy. Well after about a month of having the vehicle everything went down hill. Theres about 128,000 miles on it and Ive already spent over 4 grand fixing things that have gone wrong. Ive never seen a car with so many problems. Maybe its old age, but from what Ive heard from other jeep owners, the grand cherokee model is not worth the money. Its been three months and Im already looking for a new car.
