  • Hmm. Brake problem - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Unless you own a company that makes the rotors, this vehicle may be too expensive. I love jeep vehicles, I own a 97 wrangler with no problems, but my 2000 Grand Cherokee has been in the shop for brakes 3 times (12K, 16K 27K) Plus we have started to notice a driveline howl, which the dealer says is normal. Jeep should stick to building just wranglers!

  • Its always been there for me - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    It never let me down since 12/00. Roominess: I easily transported 5 large dogs & 1 passenger. Easy handling: Temporarily I could only drive with one hand, it was manageable. Relative to height/width handles well in curves; turns tightly, in small areas. Breaks well – very responsive and tight. Gas mileage (use the vehicle’s weight!): 18.6/city. Highway – av. 72 mph - 24 mpg w/o AC, 22.6 mpg/w AC The cruise control leaves a lot to be desired uphill and downhill, where I saw a gain/loss of 5 mph. Both door locking devices went inoperable within 3 years. (1 under warranty, 1 a week after warranty ran out ($160 ea.)

  • I love my Jeep, and I wouldnt have it any other way. - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Ive read a lot of these reviews and most of the complaints are about the dealerships mistakes, not the vehicle itself. I honestly have nothing bad to say about my my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. The 4.7 V8 gives me a lot of power, and the full time 4x4 gives me added traction in any situation. I bought it initially for $5900.00 from a retailer and put another $3000.00 in repairs into it, but since then its just been regular maintenance and it runs beautifully. My one and only complaint is that the sound proofing could be better. Once you get it on the highway it drowns out the radio pretty easily. My jeep just rolled over 215,000k and it runs better than the day I bought it.

  • GREAT GRAND CHEROKEE - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I LEASED MY GRAND CHEROKEE OVER TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A BETTER VEHICLE IN MY LIFE. I HAVE HAD ONE SERVICE VISIT BESIDES REGULAR MAINTENANCE STOPS, AND THAT WAS TO FIX THE ASH TRAY. IF THEY ONLY CAME WITH AN OPTIONAL 3RD SEAT AND WERE A LITTLE BIGGER I WOULD NEVER OWN ANYTHING ELSE.

  • best suv - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Own 2000 Jeep GCH laredo 4x2, 4.7L , 59000 ml. had only some small problems (locks,brakes,speed sensor....). When buying used Jeep make sure youve got lot of money for fixing and maintenance and lot of patience with dealer service department,get model with V8 engine (gas milage is almost same like with V6 models - i have average 16.8 mpg and drive mostly around the town )- but on the end this SUV is worth it.

  • Good SUV, but ageing fast - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The GJC has an extremely nice styling and is still the best looking SUV out there. The engine is powerful and responsive. Gas mileage isnt great, but not excessive compared to other SUVs. Reliability is high (that might be because they assemble the European versions in Austria), I have not experienced one single problem in 3 years. Inside is prctical, nice, though not exciting. Road holding qualities are below par even though one can reach quite high cornering speeds. There is too much body roll! European SUVs (VW, BMW) are at least one generation ahead in this respect.

  • No more American cars - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Ive had it, whenever I take the Jeep in for service, many more problems are found, brakes have been an issue, 4x4 parts an issue. I have taken immaculate care of this vehicle and done everything the manual said to do, and at 61,000 miles, Im done. Im looking for a Toyota or Honda - anything but Jeep or Ford.

  • Reliability "?" - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The vehicle has a excellent general appearance both exterior and interior. Because of the need for a utility type vehicle, the Jeep was selected. On overall usage we rate the vehicle fairly close to outstanding. However reliability is another issue. Problems like coolant leakage resulting in replacing the head to resolve the problem, a minor transmission problem which divulged mismatched parts were installed, differential required total parts replacement. The saving grace was an outstanding service department that did not cut any corners when making the necessary repairs. This is the only auto I ever purchased extended warranty for and was probably the best decision I could have possibly made.

  • Grand Cherokee Believer - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I purchased my first SUV in May of 2003. It was a 2000 Grand Cherokee with 24,700 miles. I had read the reviews about all the brake issues with the GCs and expressed my concern to the dealership. They did not deny that brakes were an inherent problem for that model year and preceding years. He did say however that Chrysler had a fix for them with beefed up components etc. They agreed to redo all the brakes on the car if I were to purchase it. I did and I have had no problems at all with the brakes. The ride is not as smooth as I would like but it is a JEEP. I have been very happy with it!

  • Dont Buy A Jeep - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    We bought 2000 Jeep with 35,000 miles, and just a few months of owning our Jeep the back window motor broke, then the drive side, then the passenger side. So we have replaced 3 window motors in 3 years costing $350.00 a piece to replace. Then the battery and alternator went. Then we had to replace the front differential bearings. Now 2 days ago we found out we have to replace the whole engine because the rod bearings broke. This Jeep was bought in excellent condition, not a mark on it. We bought it as a family car we do not go mountain climbing in it, we keep it updated with the oil and fluids change. This is very upsetting and every time I think about this it makes me sick in the stomach.
