    Same problem with brakes as everyone else. The comfort and smoothness of the ride more than makes up for it. Had the usual amount of little thinbgs that went wrong. My dealer couldnt have been any more helpful or customer servicer oriented about tyhe whole thing. I would purchase another one.

  • Fun vehicle with dirt poor reliability - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This vehicle was purchased brand new in 2000 and was bought back in 2001 via lemon law. This suv was in the shop 2x/month every month. Problems with starter, fuel pump, tranny making lound noises, driving constantly to the right, mirrors, seat memory, cd changer, paint, and other problems

  • Satisfied - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    You see a lot of negative reviews for these cars but Ive been happy with mine. Its up to 145,000 miles and have had very few problems. Gas mileage blows, but duh, its a V8. Also, I live in VT so getting to the slopes in any conditions is a priority and this thing gets the job done in style!

  • 3rd JGC & 1Jeep Cherokee - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    My first was an 88 Jeep Cherokee Limited, the next three were JGC 94, 96 & 2000. Only problem with any of them was AC coil on 96 at 65,000 miles. Had one set of rotors go bad AFTER I had a tire company turn them(ground down). If the rotors warp or need turning, just purchase new ones instead. $10 to turn and only $40 for a new one. Rotors never seem to last after having them turned down, just spring for the new rotors and new brake shoes. Their easy to put on yourself and the entire job will cost $100 and a couple of hours for one set if wheels...as opposed to paying a mechanic shop $300-500.

  • Problematic Jeep - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    OK. Where to begin? First the good stuff. The Jeep Grand Cherokee drives like a big friendly Teddy Bear, not like a pickup truck. It looks just as friendly, but I bought the car for perceived Jeep toughness, reliability and quality; however I found the Jeep lacking in those characteristics. Brakes shot at 25K, fuel pump fried at 27K, transmission done at 37K, water pump shot at 40K, persistent front end shimmy not fixed with tire balancing and universal joint replacement, etc. Wouldnt buy another one. The Honda-Nissan-Toyota SUV products are far superior.

  • My 1st Jeep - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have been holding breath about this car since we 1st bought it since our expectations about car quality have been set by Honda, Benz and other European cars we have owned! Two month ago, my confidence took a beating due to a recall notice that my friend (Jeep basher) called me about. Also, the breaks are gone already at 15000 miles!! On down hill slopes towards Santa Cruz, the car shakes when I press on the breaks to decelerate the car! Granted that my wife is the primray driver and they are torture on breaks, I would have expected a lot more distance with the breaks. The bottom line is that I feel less secure with this car

  • Goodbye Jeep - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Just based on the brake problems alone, it is time to say goodbye to my Jeep. When htey were fixed the first time, most of it was covered under the warrantty at 30,000. At 60,000, the price went way up and htere was no gaurantee I wouldnt have to replace the brakes again in less then 30,000 miles AGAIN! The AC has leaked twice and the radiator is starting to leak as well. The main compter board went at 9,000 miles on vacation. It took a lot to have Jeep pay for the car rental and delivering the Jeep from Virgina to CT.

  • Fun, Reliable eats gas. - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Love my Jeep, and am planning on keeping it until it dies. It is classy enough to tote clients around in and will hold up while impersonating the "General Lee" while off roading. It also seems to look much better when it has a good coat of dirt on it. There is something wrong with getting it detailed.

  • 2000 Jeep G Ch V8 RWD - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Seven years old, 85k miles on, but still runs better than most new SUVs. 0 to 30 - 2.4 s 0 to 60 - 7.3 s. Its affordable, good looking, fast enough, comfortable, very athletic and even with some mechanical problems (but is there a car without problem?) - great Jeep. Maintenance is important. Gas mileage 16 city, 22 hwy. Would buy Jeep again, SRT-8 perhaps.

  • Transmission/Rotor problems - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Generally, the vehicle has been great, very few problems. However, approximately every 16,000 miles the rotors need to be turned due to warping. Dealer says that this is normal and should be done annually. My response was BS. I have 39,000 miles on it and Im about due for anouther rotor job. Transmission, when shifting into overdrive, seems to slip. Ive notice for the last few months the engine reving up when it shifts. Started watching the tach and it also indicates that the engine revs up when it shifts into OD.
