  • No Problems Yet - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I purchased my pre-owned 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 55k miles. I read all of the bad reviews before buying. (i.e. Brakes, Transmission, ext.) My dealer threw in a 3 yr - 36K bumper to bumper warrenty. Havnt had to use it as of yet. A lite rattle in the transmission, that does not affect shifting is the only concern. Engine performance is excellant. Gas milage was a concern before buying. Ive averaged between 17.5 to 21.5 per tank. About 360 miles per tank. Im happy with the vehicle so far..

  • Lovin It - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Bought mine a year ago with 85,000 miles and put on about 20,000 since then. Replaced brakes all the way around including calipers. Replaced front drive shaft to resolve "clunking" noise. Was able to use part from salvage yard. Replaced CD changer also with part from salvage yard. Has 4.7 V8 and it is very strong. Its been off-road a few times and this Jeep is very capable compared to other stock 4x4 with Quadra-Drive II awd system.

  • Love this car, Get the warranty. - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I drive about 60 miles a day on L.A. freeways, and do alot of 4 wheeling on the weekends, and have not been disapointed or let down yet. However, know that this car has some faults that will probably need to be fixed. When the front rotors warp (which will be soon) spend the extra $50 on aftermarket crossed-drilled rotors, and some good pads. They will save you money in the end. Change your fluids like you should (engine oil, X-Case, Tranny, and Diffs) and those shouldnt give you any problems. The extended warranty is fairly inexpensive piece of mind. I cant wait to see what it can do with some decent tires.

  • Jeep - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    My husband and I have enjoyed this Jeep, but were glad the lease is up. We tried to sell this vehicle and got *no* hits (probably because it was devalued by the dealerships with all the 0% APR). No real probs, but it did stall in the middle of a hip-high river once, while an old chevy and even a Suzuki Samuri made it through no prob. We had to be towed over 12 miles. Through the desert. Pushing down on the gas to pass, a half-second wait for power??

  • Going on 9 years and still kicking - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I brought my Jeep with 111 miles. In the beginning I had some break issues and some repairs where I found out later the dealership was ripping me off. I did a lot of travel with this jeep and I received I thought excellent mileage. Ive been able to travel a max of 4.5 hrs on one tank of gas and I like to speed. AC is still kicking, but driver seat needs to be reupholstered. Other than that not a bad deal considering Ive been able to keep it this long and its still pretty when cleaned.

  • One fix after another - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Car seemed to have one problem after another. Main computer went out, water pump, etc. trading it in friday..

  • 4.0L Laredo4x4 - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Ive been pretty happy overall. 15.5 MPG average could be better. Off road you cant beat it stock off the showroom it handles great off road. The 4.0 six has enough power for this vehicle. The V8 is a gas guzzler. I have had to repair the front disc brake rotors replaced twice, water pump, transfer case leak between transmission and rear differential carrier bearings. First set of Goodyear Wranglers lasted over 40K miles. I recommend these tires. Weather strip at rear passenger door causing noise. The infinity cd stereo is great.

  • Will buy another! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought my jeep brand new in 1998 with less than 50 miles on it. Today 5/31/2010 I just hit 160,000 miles. I have never had a bit of problems with my Grand Cherokee. The A/C still blows ice cold. i live on a no winter maintained road and I have never been stuck anywhere. It takes the snow in a stride and has never let me or my family down. I dont like the 05-10 Generation grand Cherokee I feel as mine is better built. My Grand Cherokee is fully loaded with options except the 4.7 v8 but I find the 4.0 more than adequate and pulls a boat up the boat launch with no effort. I really like the 2011 maybe its time for a trade in. I still trust my jeep to go anywhere I want it to.

  • Long Distance Vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have owned my Grand Cherokee since new. We now have over 250K miles on it. At 150 I had the rear differential rebuilt. Overall it has been a very good vehicle for us since we live in the Lake Tahoe Area. Our previous Cherokee finally gave out at 330K and this seems to be about the same in terms of aging.
