  • Traded my Baby on Saturday 7/18/2009 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Only complaint, right arm rest got a dip worn into it from my elbow from so much driving. Didnt get off road as much as I wanted, but when I did, it got me there and back in great style. The only time it didnt start, was the day I traded it. ($600 repair) I was exceptionally pleased with how it got me through heavy snows in PA, stuck with the road in heavy rain, easy maneuvering, great sound system. But tended to feel cramped with a family of four, loaded for vacation. Open road, got 23 MPG...in DC traffic, just 13 MPG. Right now, its being prepped for re-sale. This Jeep was fun to camp with, and for day-fishing trips.

  • Good SUV! - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have owned my 2004 since 2006. Bought with 85k miles and now have over 172k miles. Only minor repairs during life of vehicle so far. Very comfortable, performance lacking big time but isnt a V8, MPG awful! Probably get 12-14 MPG on average. Most get is 18MPG hwy but with very conservative driving. Only major repairs is a transmission solenoid about 450 at 160k miles, fuel pump at 90k miles (ran the gas too low for a long period of time my own fault). Other than that change all fluids when your supposed to and has been a good reliable vehicle for me.

  • Love my new Cherokee - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    The handling and ride of the vehicle is excellent. My previous car was a Buick LeSabre and the Cherokee is just as comfortable. The cabin is very roomy and everything is laid out pretty well.

    The ride is absoultly smooth just like riding on air. It takes the bumps very well. So far it is a sound car...

  • The Best Vehicle Ill Ever Own - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I had the 04 JGC 4.0 Spec. Ed. for 3 yrs and put 75K on it. Recently traded it in with 115,000K on it (b/c of nagging husband) for an 07 JGC and have been sick about it ever since. I have no negative comments about this car and will probably never love a vehicle as much as this one. It had all the bells and whistles, smokey gray in color with dark leather. Loved the overall appearance, design/features, and the way the 4.0 ran. (getting rid of the 4.0 was a big mistake Jeep!) I ran this thing hard and only repair was replace water pump at over 100K. Avg. 18 mpg and the 4WD rocked. Had a tick in engine, was told lifters going bad but never left me sitting along the road and i miss it everyday.

    This is my 4th GC and I love it

  • Love My Jeep - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I work for a Jeep dealership, so I was well informed about the Grand Cherokees, and I am not disappointed at all. My previous cars were a camaro and a dodge ram, and I am so glad I finally have a Grand Cherokee. The seats are so much more comfortable than the previous two vehicles, and the ride feel is inbetween a car and truck feel - and coming out of a truck, its a huge improvement. I love that even the base models have so many standard option.. I cant live without keyless entry! I wish the I6 had more power(I just came out of a V8..so I may just be spoiled), much it is certainly enough for everyday driving.

  • Best Jeep yet - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is my second Jeep and by far the best. This is the best SUV I ever drove. I so far have found no faults with this Jeep except the fuel mileage, it could be better. I still get 23 on the highway and 17 in town which is not bad for a v8.

  • Im liking it - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought the Canadian version of the freedom, Its called the ROCKY MOUNTAIN. Ive owned a few suvs in my life and I must say, I really like the looks of this generation of jeep, Its interior is pretty boring, The seats are comfy, There is plenty of room. Its 4x4 system is immaculate. I drive it in lots of deep snow. I bought Nokian tires, they cant be beat, Its steering is incredible, The reliability is so far pretty good. No problems except a minor pin hole leak in a emissions tube. It cold starts great in bad temperatures, Lighting is good. High way and city driving is a pleasure, It feels rough and tough, I think itll be around for awhile yet to come. I suggest this jeep to buyers.

  • Dogs N Me - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The Jeep was purchased for our dogs. Now the dogs are too old to make the leap into the back. Just something to think about, because I know Im not the only pet owner to purchase a vehicle with pet needs in mind. Still having fun.
