Overview & Reviews

More power for the 4.7-liter V8 and three new trim levels (SE, Sport and Overland) are on tap for this year.

• Powerful 4.7-liter V8, all-terrain capability, roomy comfort for four.

• Noisy and unrefined, questionable reliability.

  Update since 03/02/03 on my 02 JGC - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By xyzxyzxyz - June 19 - 10:00 am

  Ive not had any problems since my last review. I have 39,000 miles on it now and Ive only changed brakes once, at 33,000. Still my only gripe is that the A/C is not cold enough for the Texas heat. I still plan on keeping it past my 7/100,000 warranty.

  No Longer a Jeep Fan - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By No longer a Jeep fan - June 7 - 3:56 am

  This purchase was our fourth Jeep. The first three were about perfect, and this Jeep has cured me from ever buying another. The car needed to be painted five times and had to be done by area that failed as opposed to painting the whole car at once. The computers have been unreliable, the radio failed, three of the four window actuators have failed, the condenser and evaporator and vent doors have failed, and it had fuel tank issues. The engine and tranny are good but the rest of the car falls apart around it. Nice comfortable ride but you always know its never for long. Oh, and the car leaks like a sieve when it rains. Im headed out to buy an Acura next. Good Heavens!

  Great looking and dependable vehicle. Far superior than other vehicles such as Toyota and Honda. My best vehicle purchase ever.

  Lots of problems - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Desert Rat - February 25 - 12:06 pm

  The first 36K miles went OK with only one warranty repair. The rear bumper was replaced (It turned a greenish color!). The crappy Goodyear Wangler tires wore out prematurely and I put Michelin LTXs on. The car handles much better and with less tire noise.The problems started at about 40K. First the drivers side window broke. (The dealer told me that this is very common). Next the circuit board in both tail/brake lights burnt out and the assemblies needed to be replaced. (Once again a very common problem). Next the passenger side window motor broke and the window dropped into the door. (Another very common problem). Now the car has a vacuum leak in the brake booster. My least reliable car.

  Had a good one - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By kellyspike - February 5 - 8:02 pm

  We must have been lucky, we had a pretty good experience with our jeep. At 86,000 miles it was smashed by a tree in our driveway. We had only spent money on brakes, tires and a water pump. Otherwise it ran great and filled our needs. Im headed out looking for another one to replace ours. I"ve been looking at reviews and no matter what you own; people have trouble. Just try researching other cars! Its a shame manufacturers wont stand behind their cars when its pretty obvious there are issues with some parts.

  2nd Jeep and really happy with it. - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Stephen - January 31 - 8:20 am

  This is my second Jeep and after reading what some people have had very bad luck with their Jeep I though I woud put mine here. I have had mine since 2002 and have not had any Major issue except the breaks this is a known issue with them, I change the breaks myself and save a ton the other Major issue was changing the coil pack but after 145,000 miles I figured it was due so it did not other me. One issue I had was a transmission sensor that was bad but it died during warrenty period so no harm no foul. I pull a camper with this Jeep and it always is there when I need the power. If you do the maintenance on it for the most part it should treat you fine.

  Very Disappointed - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Raquel - January 25 - 8:43 pm

  I purchased this vehicle in 2004 with 19k miles. I thought I was getting a great vehicle for the price. Turns out the saying is true "You get what you pay for." In 2005, I had to have the cooling engine fan replaced (thanks for the extended warranty that was purchased but still had to pay). In 2006, I had the exact same problem- cooling fan replaced. In 2007, the hood struts went bad along with the gas cap that had to be replaced. In 2008, I had to have get the transmission rebuilt. The driver side window will not work nor will the left tail light (new bulbs, still doesnt work). I am not FIXING another thing, Im getting rid of this piece of junk. To date this vehicle ONLY has 66,800 miles!!
