  I love my Jeep....except - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By penneywise - January 26 - 3:13 am

  I bought my Jeep used with 35,000 mi. I test drove 2, and the other one had more pep (both were V8s). I now have 69,000 mi and the brakes have "hot spots" that cause the front end to shake. Suggestion is to upgrade to racing rotors ($$$). The radiator still leaks after being replaced. The turning radius is poor, and on hard turns it makes an awful noise. Truck looks great though! Cargo space is good. Needs shoulder belts for middle rear seat; only accomodates 2 children in booster seats. Mileage averages about 16. Thinking of upgrading to Durango to get extra seating with similar style and mileage. Audio controls on steering wheel are fun. Even with the problems, I will still miss my truck.

  Great SUV for a Sportsman - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By The muddy Polaris Sp - January 9 - 2:00 am

  Very nice SUV for the guy that likes to play outdoors, like me. Plenty of room for camping supplies for camping trips. Can put my racing road bicyle in the back hatch area with the back seat down for are bike trips. Also great for are golf trips. We are big into ATVing these days so its also great for towing are Polaris Sportsmans around with plenty of room for are supplies in the back.

  Great Vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By astrak1001 - November 28 - 10:28 am

  Ive had my Jeep GC LMTD V8 since 2003. I purchased the vehicle with 79,000 miles and am now turning 200,000 miles with only limited repairs. I have had to replace the transmission once, the alternator once and the power window motor on the front passenger side once. All of these repairs were performed at around 150,000 miles. My Jeep has been all around the country and most recently from AZ to NE and has never broken down. I have had the brake problems, but this was remedied by a competent mechanic in Mesa AZ. Overall I would say this is one of the most reliable, toughest vehicles I have ever owned. I would definitely purchase another one.

  Getting a bad rap - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jack Nicely - November 16 - 8:53 am

  This SUV does everything I expect from it. I dont get stuck when ever I feel like going over the curb and off the beaten path. It is an excellent car for my wife to lug the groceries or carry her Avon products. It is a comfortable ride for longer trips, 6-8 hours, and plenty of packing space. Pulls my small trailer just fine. Brakes and steering work fine, the ride is comfortable. It still feels new after 70,000+ miles. Interior gadgets are easy, such as the seat maneuvering or seat belts. My gas mileage isnt bad for a 6 cylinder, about 26 mpg. Maintenance has been minimal. It is a pleasure to take out and drive, plenty of pick up speed. The only problem we have is with the dealership maintenance

  There really is only one Jeep! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jerseyshoreboy - October 29 - 2:00 am

  This is what I consider to be the best looking SUV on the market. My GC offers the perfect mix of style,practicality and is a joy to drive! I feel its what a premium SUV should be.

  Bad brakes - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By mas - October 28 - 10:00 am

  Expect that every 12,000 miles you will have to replace the rotors. And our dealer even told us that Chrysler was of no help. Now, at 36 K , shocks need to be replaced. 99.99 % suburban driving !! Never again.

  Fun, Gorgeous but unreliable - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By larrym - August 23 - 10:00 am

  Offroad performance is amazing. The JCG can go where only custom 4WDs dare and do so with greater comfort and speed. I cant imagine a better offroad experience. Around town and on the highway the JCGs performance doesnt stand out except for the peppy acceleration from the 4.7L engine, yet its still comfortable and predictable. Unfortunately, reliability is lousy. Ive replaced power window motors 5 times twice out of warranty, 2 side view mirror motors, an engine computer, a fuel pump, transmission leaks, and a radiator! Still, overall Id buy again: the good points far outweigh the bad if you can afford to deal with the unreliability.

  Dont Buy This Vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Alex Drake - August 11 - 2:00 am

  At under 60,000 miles Ive already replaced both the front and rear differentials. Now Im having transmission problems as outlined in bulletin 21-02-99 (harsh 1-2 shift at speeds of 10-15 mph). Jeep will not stand by their transmissions or assist me in any way. I will never buy a Jeep or Chrysler vehicle again and I strongly recommend you look elsewhere unless you like visiting repair shops.

  My Grand Cherokee has been an awesome vehicle for the past 4 years. I purchased it used from a Jeep dealership and have had no problems. Ive been very happy with this SUV.

  You mean rotors are suposed to be round? - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By bsMD - July 28 - 10:00 am

  Had this Jeep since new, now with 28,000mi. Front rotors replaced at 7,000mi and again at 25,000mi. Called Chrysler and they refunded me my money for the 2nd brake job. Turns out they WILL REPLACE THE CALIPERS ON ALL CARS WITH THIS ROTOR ISSUE! Call them and they will authorize for your car to have new calipers, pads and rotors installed FREE! Just hold onto the receipt you have from the brake job.
