  1999 Jeep - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JonP - December 22 - 10:00 am

  We have had very few problems. Did do the brakes twice but other then that Jeep has been a great vehichle. My wife uses it for around town and with kids. Change oil & general maintenance every 3000 miles. I think this is important and explains lack of problems. I would buy another one.

  Love My Limited - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By shaneyusa - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Purchased used with under 12,000 miles. Have had some small annoying problems, but nothing that would make me buy something different. Nimble sports car like handling for a SUV. Power when you need it. Great looks. When it gets too many miles I will definately look at buying a new version of this vehicle.

  1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 6 cylinder - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Matt - October 10 - 2:03 pm

  Bought the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4 1/2 years ago, just traded in with 206000 miles. Overall, I was pleased with the Jeeps performance. The inline 6 cylinder, 4.0 liter engine is indestructible. Experienced slipping with the transmission, but such problems are to be expected with high mileage vehicles.

  Poorly built Jeep. Had to bring to dealer over 12 times in past 3 years for numerous problems or recalls. Major problems with rear differential.

  What an SUV should be.... A Jeep - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By FastHippyFan - October 8 - 2:00 am

  From city streets to mountain trails we have had no problems with our 99 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Our family has enjoyed the extra elbow room as well as the reliablility.

  Never Again - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jim - October 4 - 10:13 am

  I bought this Jeep to downsize from a Chevy Suburban, not to go lower quality. Brake rotors replace within 6 months. Differentials are LOUD all the time. Heating and Air selector sometimes switches to different zones, sometimes doesnt. Three water pump replacements in 2 years. Warning light came on yesterday "Low Coolant" - so this is never going to end. The transmission hesitates from 2nd to 3rd gear, I dont even want to talk about the trouble of going to 4WD and back. I have to make sure I have a clear area before switching 4WD/2WD. However, I like the looks, I love the interior driving position and center console. The engine is still strong and torquey.

  Great Used Vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Joshy007 - October 4 - 12:46 am

  I bought my 1999 JGC from a friend (third owner in all). Just clocked 161,000 miles. Outside of maintenance items (battery, brakes, tires, shocks, fluid changes, a/c charge) the car has needed to have the steering linkage and front axles replaced for a total of $450. As for fuel economy I am not sure how others are driving but driving like a mad man I am around 17.5-18.5 mpg and reasonable driving I am getting 20-21 mpg. The drivetrain is still strong and all the little things seem to be holding up. Alloy wheels clear coat is faded & flaking. The starter is beginning to struggle a bit so that may be the next thing to get fixed. All together for about a $4,500 investment a great find

  On the verge - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By one_putt - October 2 - 10:00 am

  I love the way this car drives. It is the best hadling SUV out there and with the power that the v8 rovides it is fast and nimble. But,,,, The brakes were replaced at 20k the tranfer case is leaking and the back windoe leaks water. Asside from this it is a great car. I am gald I have leased it though for I dont trust that this car will last.

  2001 Gran Cherokee Laredo a class act - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By wwwallywww - September 27 - 10:00 am

  What I expect after owning a 93 Gran Cherokee Laredo. Its still the best styled of all the SUVs out there. No real complaints about the interior. The ride is a huge improvement over the 1993. AC Compressor froze with about 16,000 miles on the car, dealer replaced under warrenty with no problem. 4.0 litre 6.
