  Never Again... - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Took a bath... - July 23 - 10:00 am

  We knew we were rolling the dice when we bought this used vehicle based on the reviews. Two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the a/c started to blow warm air on a road trip. Dealer could not find a problem. Door locks broke soon after. Dealer wanted $370 to fix. Car vibrates above 65 mph. Dealer seems unconcerned about providing solutions to the customer. We have only put 6,500 miles on this car in 10 months. We have traded this car in for a foriegn model. I will never buy another JEEP vehicle again. Build quality is awful and customer service is pathetic!!

  Real Lemon - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Morris Wallace - April 1 - 1:10 am

  Vehicle obviously built on a Monday or Friday. Poor manufacturer quality. Door lock failure ($1775 repair), timing chain failure ($2600 repair), cylinder head damage as result ($1200 repair). Dual heater control blend door repair ($980 repair) all in 2005. Vehicle has 120,000 miles. Chews brake pads like lunch. Will trade in on import vehicle ASAP. Advice: dont buy the Jeep GCL....

  Very Satisfied - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Proudjeepownr - February 25 - 2:00 am

  We leased it new. Now were buying it! Weve moved three times and fit lots in the back when the seats are down. Well, now that were buying it, therell probably be lots of things that fall apart, because thats how things go sometimes. Well just buy an extended warranty.

  Good, Bad and Ugly - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jpg - February 14 - 10:00 am

  Good - 4.7 V8 engine screams. What a Rocket. Bad - Ride is interesting with solid axles and short wheelbase. Ugly - A/C could be better. Live in Texas so keep that in mind. Overall - Very solid and reliable truck.

  2000 Laredo at 280k - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By vicpick58 - September 21 - 8:16 am

  I bought this Jeep used with only 17k miles and used it for a work vehicle. I drove it up to 1000 miles per week until it got up to about 250k miles. I liked this Jeep so much, I bought another one (a used 2004) in 2007. But I kept the 2000 for use as the wifes daily driver. It is still going strong at 280k miles. The engine (4.7) and transmission have never given me any trouble. Oh sure there have a lot of minor things go wrong, such as the electric door locks, throttle position sensor, waterpump, alternator, axle seals and those kind of things. The only major repairs have been the front differential and the engine computer. Jeeps do require more regular maintenance than some other vehicles

  New motor and 180k miles later... - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By dburkland1028 - May 23 - 9:53 am

  I got my Grand Cherokee about a month ago from a wholesaler for $2000. Obviously it was a little rough around the edges with some dents and high miles (180k) but with a new 4.0 V6, this Jeep runs strong! The tranny is stock and shifts cleaner than a lot of brand new cars. For an SUV in its size range, the mileage is amazing. I get about 20 in city and up to 28 on highway. Mine suffered the plague of this model GC with warped front rotors. It was a quick and cheap fix, however, buying one with body damage is a risk, especially around the doors. Being a unibody car, the frame gets bent very easily, which is the last remaining problem on mine. Beautiful interior, lots of space, A+ ride!

  Melon - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 43K down the tube! - January 31 - 9:30 am

  Fun to drive, major mechanical problems. Replaced fuel pump twice, replaced routers and brakes twice. Only 22K miles. Bird droppings ate all the way to the primer(dark red paint). didnt expect these things to happen to a new car.

  Brakes, Drivetrain and Electrical Woes - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dissapointment - January 6 - 10:00 am

  I have had many makes of automobiles Japanese, German and American but this is the most problematic of them all. I purchased a Limited 4X4 with all the goodies, V8, Quadratrac etc,etc... The brakes have been among the worst I have ever owned needing replacement before 15K miles. The transmission has a mind of its own, clunking off downshifts at slow speed and upshifting harshly when cold. The electrical system has been a nightmare randomly flashing the headlights when the vehicle is unattended. I should have done my homework before I purchased this vehicle. Shame on me!

  One hot hot rod - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dade - December 27 - 1:53 am

  I love the performance of the Grand. I put in a K&N air filter and Bosch platinum 2 plugs. Handles great. She is a daily driver as I deliver pizza with the Grand; not the best gas mileage but stuck until VW gets fixed. Very comfortable, best vehicle to make deliveries with. I have not had any major problems yet. The transfer case was shot when i bought it and was replaced by the warranty. It does have the mechanical whine and the rotors and calipers are starting to warp, but there is a settlement to replace those now. The transmission does shift funny from time to time and the rear end is starting to groan when making slow sharp turns. She does have 132,000 miles and still running strong.

  Love my jeep - only one problem (so far) - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By SonoAndrea - November 10 - 10:00 am

  I leased my 2000 JGC brand-new, then purchased at the end of my lease. I had one problem that took a year and 6 visits to the dealership to fix - presented as a problem with the coolant resevoir and ultimately turned out to be a cracked head gaskets. No problems whatsoever since this was fixed. I drive 90 miles per day, mostly highway, and get about 21mpg. I have thought about trading for something with better efficiency or newer and more reliable, but cant find anything I like as much. Only time I have trouble is when the roads are icy (rear wheel drive), but thats my problem for not going with the 4x4. I love my Jeep and plan to buy another in future.
