  Just - Empty - Every - Pocket - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Flat Broke - March 14 - 10:00 am

  I bought this vehicle with 30000 miles. It was a program vehicle. Everything was fine until I reached 75000 and then the wheels came off. In the past two months Ive replaced the gas tank, radiator, leak detection mechanism, accumulator, and numerous other things. I should have paid more attention to the reviews. Never again.

  Never again! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Ginger Harrill - February 5 - 10:00 am

  This Jeep has been nothing but a headache. The mechanical problems I have had with it: both front power windows (twice), the fuel gauge, replaced brake pads and rotors, the back seat cup holder had to be replaced, trim strips around the sunroof, drivers door window, and rear liftgate all came loose. The loose trim strip around the liftgate caused the spare tire well to fill with water, rusting the spare wheel. The CD player quit working. The transmission had to be replaced at 23,000 miles due to an ear-splitting whine. The only consolation is that all of this occurred in the first three years/36,000 miles while it was still under warranty.

  Weve had this car since it was new. At about 80K mi, had to rebuild rear differential. At about 125K mi had to rebuilt entire rear end again, along with shocks. I was told my dealer that this was a "known problem". Car engine is strong, interior has fallen apart in hot Virginia summers - vinyl has split and cracked. I am disappointed that this car wont last much longer - I thought Jeeps were good for 200K.

  4.0L Laredo4x4 - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By TJTheKid - June 8 - 10:00 am

  Ive been pretty happy overall. 15.5 MPG average could be better. Off road you cant beat it stock off the showroom it handles great off road. The 4.0 six has enough power for this vehicle. The V8 is a gas guzzler. I have had to repair the front disc brake rotors replaced twice, water pump, transfer case leak between transmission and rear differential carrier bearings. First set of Goodyear Wranglers lasted over 40K miles. I recommend these tires. Weather strip at rear passenger door causing noise. The infinity cd stereo is great.

  The Best of the Worst - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By dfranzen - May 20 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has been in the shop more than 30 times in the 3+ years that I have owned it (not one accident). I had a Toyota 4-Runner for more than 10 years that was in the shop only 3 times! I have written Chrysler, but after the first phone call conversation, I guess they felt they had done enough, no further contact. Some of the problem areas: A/C - completely replaced, Brakes, Drive Tran, Electrical - enough? It is too bad that a vehicle that cost more than $35,000 cant make it through a year without going into the shop more than a 1/2 dozen times! I would expect that from oh maybe Isuzu...
