  Jeep = Junk - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Brian A - June 4 - 10:00 am

  The gas mileage (V-8) with the exception of highway cruise (about 20 mpg) is horrid, about 13.5 mpg. The front brakes suck, have been replaced 3 times in the first 27k miles. The rest of the vehicle has faired only a bit better. Stalling, transfer case binding, drivers seat loose (was told that is normal) are current issues at 31K miles. Love to drive it, it tows a trailer very well even in high crosswinds, and it is very capable off- road. My lease ends soon, glad I dont own it.

  My experience with my Jeep has been for the most part everything that I expected. But it has a poor fuel economy.

  Who would give me cash for this clunker? - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By No More Jeeps for Me - April 30 - 2:56 am

  Purchased new online in 99. Had to replace front & rear differentials shortly after warranty expired. Lost arbitration w/ shop that used wrong diff. fluid due to Jeep bulletin. Replaced condenser, evaporator, shocks (twice), rotors, pads, yada, yada, yada... Does this vehicle have a seal that doesnt leak? CD changer quit working & front passenger speaker blew long ago. Transmission shifts hard from 1st to 2nd during the winter... likely a viscosity issue as dealer cant fix w/o pulling out tranny which I wont pay for. Check engine light has been on for 2+ yrs now. Dealer wont cut wire. Got 132,000 miles with mostly new parts so hoping for 200,000 miles. Repair bills mounting...

  Jeeps are Junk - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By CS - April 22 - 10:00 am

  Too many problems, in six times for warranty work...as soon as out of warranty, transmission problems. Power window problems, sensor problems, tires wore out very fast..this car will not last to 100K miles. Will never buy another Daimler-Chrysler product in this lifetime.

  1999 Grand Cherokee is OK - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By mike c - April 22 - 10:00 am

  I bought this Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo used when it was 6 months old with 17,000 miles. Other than replacement of a leaky right headlight assembly, and upgrade of front brake pads and rotors, this vehicle has been very good and completely reliable. It has negotiated very steep inclines in excess of 45 degrees; it is comfortable on and off road; it pulls a 4500 lb. trailer with no problems. I would trust this vehicle to go anywhere. The gas mileage is 18 mpg/city. As a suggestion, purchase an extended warranty from warranty direct (7-year, 100,000 mile plan for $1,350), just in case I trashed the transfer case. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  no more rotors - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jeneane - April 19 - 10:00 am

  I love the look of this SUV and i guess that is what got me into trouble. Did not research the mechanics as I will on my next purchase. The brakes are a complete nightmare, pads and rotors replaced 4 times and starting to SHAKE again(all you Jeep owners know what I mean). My fan needs replacing, car overheats when not in motion:( Nice looking and fairly comfortable!

  Nice Truck! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ErinLW - April 8 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle with 50,000 miles and 13000 miles later, I have no major complaints. It rides nice and the air is amazing...a very high quality to have for a Florida driver. I have had a few minor problems that have been outrageously expensive to repair, and the gas mileage could be much better (about 15mpg in town), but I should have known what to expect when switching from a little Lebaron to a 4X4 SUV. Overall, I would buy another Jeep and would recommend them to anyone interested in a decent SUV for a low price. The 4X4 is the excellent quality that is typical of a Jeep. Glides through Florida sugar sand like its on asphalt and leaps right out of a 2WD hole.

  A disappointment - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mafioso - February 10 - 10:00 am

  Im such a loser. I traded in my reliable Honda Accord for this sexy thing. Within the first 7K, the roters on the breaks got warped and again at 15K and again at 45K and again......Argghhh!! Why doesnt Chrysler fess up and recall this problem? Just found out that the rear differential is shot which is seems to be a common problem with a lot of other reviewers. This vehicle is very sexy but a disappointment in reliability. The maintenance and wear and tear is very expensive. I spent over $5000 in repairs at its 60K regular check up. Im going back to Honda. Anyone wanna buy my 1999 Grand Cherokee?

  Since I posted the last time Water pump had to be replaced,brakes had to be replaced,transmission jerks under partial acceleration. I would walk before I lease another JEEP. I know the service writer by first name. Hope chrysler isnt making tanks for the troops,or will be in deep do do
