  economically bad - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jeep_Owner - May 30 - 2:00 am

  Very poor fuel economy, even though used 89 octane rating. Had to refill every 3-4 days. Paid more than $20 every time. Unless you live in a suburban area or farm land where you need a 4WD, wouldnt recommend it. Consumer Reports picked Lexus RX300 as the best choice in midsized sport- utility vehicles. It has the highest overall mpg fuel economy rating in its class.

  At 57000 miles I had to repair the front gear box at 950.00 dollars. At 68000 miles I had to repair the back gear box at 950.00 dollars. Was not to happy. And two sets of front rotors in.

  I love my Jeep - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By MDS - May 21 - 10:00 am

  My 99 Jeep looks and feels brand new. The only problem I have is with the wheel bearings - the front have gone bad. Everything else has been wonderful. My next car will be another Jeep.

  Good styling poor reliability - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By BCK9900 - May 18 - 1:00 am

  The Bad: AC problems common (some easily fixed for DIY) Brake system very poor design (cause rotors to be replaced more often) Radio system starts out as a plus until you crank it than it becomes a negative because there is no band pass thus you blow the tweeters Window motors go out quite frequently (4 sets on mine now) Brake lights have a fault (have you not noticed this on other jeeps on the road yet) Not easily fixed or tracked down Strut system sucks The Good: Its paid off

  Will someone blow my Jeep up? - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By saj mahal - May 7 - 2:00 am

  Ill highlight some of my favorite repairs. $300 - Front calipers rotors. $900 Rear bearings. $150 fuel pump regulator something or another. Anyone know why the steering wheel moans when you turn it? Is there supposed to be water inside the headlight assembly? Ok, why wont the cruise control engage? I love the fact that the HVAC control doesnt work anymore. Its stuck in the defrost mode! Looks like Im going to buy a 4runner. Oh, the gas shocks that hold the hood up...they dont like the cold, so make sure conditions are ideal the next time you need to check under the hood, or else you will find yourself literally "under the hood".

  What a Mistake - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jeepster - May 2 - 10:00 am

  Absolutely terrible car - worst ride- rock and sways, quadradrive- moans and groans on U turns, v-8 roars, brakes the aboslute worst- 12k on a set of pads and rotors continually warp. Are you a masochist who likes to hang out at the garage? If so, buy one. Your two happiest days will be when you buy one and even happier, when you sell it. Picking up my X5 BMW very soon!

  Excellent car...but... - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jallahansen - April 25 - 10:00 am

  Its been a great car. I bought it new, and since it was the first year of the "new" style, I would think some problems were to be expected... No show stoppers at all, but changed 6 electrical windows in the first 2 years (yes, you read right - 2 of them had to be changed twice), because they stopped working. Breaks disks tend to warp quite frequently, and hence you should expect some at least minor break problems every 18-24 months or so. Also changed 2 computers. No drive train or engine problems at all though. Very reliable engine/drivetrain.

  Love JGC, but has Problems - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By tomally - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Overall the vehicle is wonderful to drive. It has great pickup and power. The inifinity sound system is wonderful. The ride is great. However, there are several mechanical problems on my vehicle. Jeep service is not the greatest and it takes numerous trips to get things fixed. Ive been to several different dealers, some better than others.

  Oh well - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Scorpio052 - April 11 - 10:00 am

  I bought a 99 Laredo 4WD. Since Ive had it, I have taken it for a warrenty fix 24 times. Uncalled for. The starter (4X), passenger window (3X), rear wiper motor (2X), rear Differential, electrical shorts..blah blah blah. Let me tell you, in between fixes, I love the Jeep dearly. If my friends were risk takers, I would say buy it and pray for a good one. Otherwise , stay away, far away and wait for an Audi- type turnaround for Chrysler.

  Love my Jeep - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By junk54 - March 30 - 2:00 am

  If youre looking to get into a Jeep, the new (1999 and up) body style is sharp, and these vehicles are GREAT in bad weather. I use mine to haul computer parts, car parts, and even X- Mas Trees. The first year I had it I actually tried to do snow donuts, no luck. Get the I-6 engine, VERY reliable, will run forever!
