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. Also, several important safety and convenience options such as side curtain airbags, power-adjustable pedals, a tire-pressure monitoring system and automatic windshield wipers debut this year.

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

• Noisy and unrefined, questionable reliability.

  My 2nd Grd. Cherokee - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ebgrumka - September 3 - 10:00 am

  Drives like a luxary car. Superior handling. The 2002 exhibits a bit more power from a standing start than my 1999. Other improvements are a more even cooling/heating system and better stereo sound.

  Im happy. - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Chayo - September 3 - 2:00 am

  We just bought this car a month ago. We are so happy with it. It rides so smooth;it is like a sedan. The fuel consumption is great. The cargo space is more than enough for a mom with three boys.

  5th Grand Cherokee Still Needs Improved - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By donfrench - August 30 - 6:43 am

  Ive had 5 from 94 up and theyre getting better but once again, with 60,000 miles I am suspicious of future repair costs after the lease is up, so will trade it in. I absolutely LOVE this car but reliability is mediocre and 5-star dealer service and Chryslers hotline for warranty issues are disappointments. I weekly tow a trailer and the car does well; this one has the quiet Select-Trac because axle whine from both my last 2 Jeeps with Quadra-Trac eventually was intolerable at 60 mph. But - easy to get stuck on wet grass - no limited slip. Had to replace seat heater, gauge cluster, starter, brakes twice, & all chrome wheels twice - no warr 2nd time!

  Love it! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By carguy - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I have had this truck for about 6 years, and yes..the HVAC doors broke once, the rotors do warp if you are rough on the truck. between me and the wife..about 30k between rotor cuts. Not too bad considering. All of the electronics are great, including the seat heaters, and the 10 disk changer. Lots of power, and has been a very reliable vehicle for us. Tows a 5000 lb boat like it isnt even there. The Quadradrive is amazing, you cant get this thing stuck!

  Under Appreciated - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By gad - June 23 - 10:00 am

  This a very good SUV choice for a car enthusiast. It really goes. I use mine for virtually all on-road duty both city and suburban. It handles well in traffic and on the open road.

  Mystery Repairs - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Southeast Sales - June 22 - 2:26 pm

  Bought this car with an extended warranty from CarMax back in 2004 and thank goodness we did. Granted we have put a lot of miles on it - right now has 80,000 miles. About 20,000 miles ago I was driving down I-20 in the middle of a major metropolitan city (you can guess which) when the entire panel illuminated (oil light, engine light, gas light etc...), the windows failed to operate and the AC went out. Since that incident the same problem has happened over 10 times and the CarMax mechanics cannot figure out what it is. Now, the engine light is on half the time while no one seems to know why exactly. Transmission is probably going to drop any day now. Will likely sell within the week.

  Run Run, Fix. Run Run, Fix. - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JimR - May 14 - 9:06 am

  Love this car. 4th in a series of Jeeps, 2 CJs, 1 Cherokee, now this one. Driven hard all its life. Lots of highway miles, some city driving, long vacation trips, on the road, in the dirt, everywhere. Plenty of power from the 4.7 V-8, lots of comfort from the leather seats, lots of room for all the junk we carry. List of items fixed so far, starter, radiator, fuel rails and fuel pump, three injectors, drivers seat floor mount, steering box, power steering pump and hoses. Not cheap to fix, but with 118,000 miles and counting, its cost less to maintain than some of my past autos. What happened to Jeep after 2004? I guess my next car will be something else. To bad.

  Major Disappointment - Dont buy one - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Monte - April 25 - 6:03 am

  After reading all of the reviews, I think I have experienced most of the issues. I purchased this vehicle new in Feb. 2002 and only have 75,000 miles on it 8 years later. It has been back to the dealer or repair shop of 14 occasion. List of Problems 1) Passenger side heater does not work. 2) Transmission has never shifted properly. 5 trips to dealer and still doesnt shift properly. 3) Rear axle replaced 4)Both window arm levers broke so windows wouldnt go back up. 5) Support arms for hood dont work. 6) Major vibration when turning (forward and reverse) 7)Lights come on when vehicle is off 8
