  • Jeep Grand Cherokee sucks - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This car is a disaster waiting to happen. I have never had these kinds of problems with other cars. The upholstery on the trunk door is falling down. The roof console is falling down. The gear shift box cracked out of the blue. The rear view mirror leaks water inside the car whenever it rains. The alarm system goes off on its own for no good reason and cannot be disabled by the dealership without also disabling the stereo and the on-board computer. Various bits and pieces in the engine keep breaking at a much faster rate than any car Ive ever had. I would NEVER buy another Jeep.

  • Looks Nice but breaks - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Here is what has broken: Transmission, AC evap, AC cond, AC high pressure hose, AC compressor, catalytic converter, water pump, CV boots, rear axle seal, axle bearings, door wiring harness (twice), interior mirror, radio, exhaust manifold, Thottle body warped, fuel tank check valve, front suspension bushings, brake caliper froze on the freeway. I have had the Jeep since new and did all maintance as listed. A friend also has the same Jeep and he has had similar problems. Im going back to Subaru and Toyota for my cars now!

  • 94 Grand - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Have Owned for over ten years. Bought from father in law due to 160,000 miles and he thought it was ready to die. It now has 310,000 miles; uses a quart every 1600 miles. Normal maintenance, and been in the woods many years for hunting. No major problems, and have to run it till it drops dead. My quest was to make it to 300,000 but the dumb thing keeps going, going,and going. Great on ice.

  • The Best Jeep ever owned - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is the best car ive ever owned. Ive driven across the country and didnt stop for 1 mechanical thing. I only filled up gas. It has 326,000 miles on it and it runs like a charm. The engine is in perfect condition. If you keep up with our check ups, the car will run great. Buy a Jeep and keep it for a while, it will last.

  • Heap of Jeep! - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Our 96 Grand - aint so! Differential (went out!), A/C (went out), computer under hood (fried!), transmission fluid (leaking as we speak), wheel shimmy (makes an exciting ride!) all THIS within a year and 1/2 of owning this Heap of Jeep! Its the proverbial MONEY PIT! Looks GREAT - but, I dont even trust it to run to the grocery store!! If it werent for a husband thats mechanically inclined AND an extended warranty - it would be GONE... Whats worse?? still paying on the loan! Run - Run as fast as you can - STEP AWAY FROM A JEEP!!!!!!

  • Better Than Most - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Mine had the 5.2 V-8 which is very nice with double platinum spark plus,Copper/Brass Cap/Rotor.I was getting 23mpg.

  • Well Maintained - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Purchased the vehicle from CarMax with 101k miles, it now has 125k and engine still running strong. (V8 5.2L). We did have to have a small oil leak in the transfer case, (QuadraTrack) but nothing major after that. Of course the A/C Evaporator went out like it does on all of the GC and the Catalitic converter. knock on wood thats all the problems that we have had. fuel economy could be better, after replacing the O2 sensor the MPG went up to about 21 from 17 hwy.

  • My Jeep saved my life... - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I was in a potentially fatal accident 2 days ago in my 1994 Jeep. Many have told me of their rollover potential, but I found that this vehicle actually saved my life. I was driving at a speed of appoximatley 70 mph when a car to my right was clipped by a semi and spun out of control. His back end hit my front passenger wheel well which also caused my tire to blow. I initially lost control and fishtailed 3 times back and forth across 4 lanes of freeway traffic. I was very surprised at the handling of this vehicle in this situation and am grateful to have been able to walk away.

  • Love My Grand Cherokee - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Bought used from a dealer in 1995 and still smells new inside. Only repairs were front differential bearings, a cv boot, and transfer case seal. Also factory alarm system had mind of its own and I had dealer deactivate it. Very comfortable for long trips of 5000 miles or more but have also been off- road in the desert and over mountains. My Jeep has never let me down. I expect to drive it for many years.
