  • My second JCG - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is the second JCG I have owned. I have had it from 30 k to 48 k in Chicago. No problems so far. Ideal commuter, hauler, bad weather transportation, and taxi cab drag racer. Cleans up well enough for a night on the town. A good friend bought the Laredo version (2001), and it was clearly a Lemon. He changed to the limited version with the K package (like mine), and now is very happy.

  • An honest opinion of the 2000 Gr. Cherok - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    With every Jeep when you 1st get it you probably will have to bring it in at lesat 4x for warranty work in the 1st 6 months. However after that its ok.

  • Replaced too many parts in the 1.5 years - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    So far I have replaced Water pump, 2 window motors, brakes and air conditioner compressor. Mechanic says these are all known bad parts!! Jeep should reacall some of these if they are know to have bad parts. WOULD NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN!!!

  • Love it! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This vehicle FIT me, the minute I slid behind the wheel. Everything was within reach, and the steering wheel did not have to be in my lap in order to reach the pedals. I have had no trouble at all with my Jeep. She has performed like a champ, in all kinds of weather and conditions. The only time she has ever been into the dealership is for routine maintenance. I know Jeeps do not have a great reputation for quality, but mine has been superb!

  • Terrible Brakes-Recall??? - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have returned this vehicle once due to the brakes grabbing due to poor rotors. It once again needs returned with 24,000 miles. My friend with a 99 LTD has returned his once and again needs it with less than 20,000 miles. Electric windows have been a problem as well. I had one fixed at 12,000 and need another at 25,000

  • Brakes , Brakes, Brakes - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I desperately want to love this vehicle, but 3 brake repairs by 35,000 miles (and another one soon to come) has ruined my dream. Only other problem has been some cheap interior molding/weather stripping on the inside of the door (hey Daimler-Chrysler, time to stop using Elmers School Glue and use some real adhesive). Our lease expires next month. I was tempted to buy it out, but I foresee 1 or 2 $500 brake jobs per year in my future if I go that route. Perhaps Ill give the 2004 Jeeps a shot (at least they give us a "loyalty" discount for being a current Jeep owner).

  • No Problems w/37k mi - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I havent had any of the problems Ive read about. This is my 3rd Grand Cherokee (3 Yr leases). I have 37k miles so far, my lease is up in Jan03. Gas Mileage is poor, 17mpg with 4.0 engine. My 95 got 23mpg, my 97 got 21mpg. Handling, comfort, perfomance are fine, Infinity stereo is excellent. I was going to buy this one, but after reading all of the problems, maybe not.

  • a few problems - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Overall, this is an OK vehicle. My major complaints are the same as everyone elses...brakes warped at 12K, dealer machined for me free but they are bad a again at 24K. Have 26K now and realize Jeep has a TSB otu on the brakes. Dealer is supposed to add a kit to spread the pads further from the rotors and replace the rotors and pads for free. Heritage in Bel Air, MD wont so this for me. Unsure highway driving as steering is a bit loose. But everything else is OK.

  • Your get out what you put in... - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Picked up used, pre-owned by a little old lady...really! Recently took care of 60K maintenance at independent dealership, saved 100%-175% off of dealership service quotes. Absolutely love this vehicle! All options except V8, heated seats, and digital heat/ac. Better than Ford & Chevy SUVs (many experiences w/both) in numerous areas. 2000 and forward has been much better for these vehicles. Take care of your vehicle, including ALL maintenance as suggested, dont drive like a teenager, and your vehicle will take care of you.

  • Need to work out the kinks - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is my first JGC and I really enjoy driving it. It still looks great and the engine runs like a champ (4.7 V8). However, the little problems have added up and it may be time for a change. I have replaced door locks, power seat motors, a water pump, and multiple sets of rotors (brakes are below average for such a nice SUV). My biggest disappointment has been the A/C. It goes out intermittently and the service department cant seem to find the problem. Ive heard other Jeep owners mention similar issues, so I think the company needs to address these things.
