  By fathergoose4 - April 16 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Jeep off a lease with 36k miles. I now have over 92k with very little trouble,Only wear and tear stuff.The biggest job was I had to change front axle due to a broken cv boot. Overall it is an excellent experience and I am very happy.

  Reliability to the extreme - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By crhern - April 9 - 12:13 am

  I inherited my Jeep as a gift, it had 210,000 miles on it and everything was still original. Its an inline 6 limited now it has 240,000 miles on it and only the fuel pump and the radiator have been replaced everything else is still good. As many people say move the spare tire! Its annoying Ive seen a few grand Cherokees where the spare is mounted on the liftgate like any other SUV and the rear window doesnt open other than those two things its awesome good power and ride, comfortable Im definitely getting another Jeep in the future so is the girlfriend

  More and more parts breaking down... - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By D Reda - April 3 - 2:00 am

  Bought it with 55k miles, now it has 112k, over about 3 years. Freakin electronic parts are hugely expensive! Stuff keeps breaking down! Fortunately never the same thing twice (yet) Ive poured tons of $s into this thing. I want something with fewer electronics, and more reliability!

  200,000 - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By foster6245 - March 1 - 10:00 am

  We havent had any problems with this jeep until now at 200,000 miles, it left me stranded by the road the other day. Completely shut off and we had to tow it to the dealership where they replaced the computer and some other things and cost around 1,000. Needless to say the jeep is at the end of its life span. The exterior paint is worn away, the head liner is completely falling down, looking for another vehicle. Found out there has been multiple issues with the catalytic converter, etc.

  Still going - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jwimm - December 27 - 6:00 am

  Bought this vehicle with about 35K miles on it. Up to about 120k now. Thing still going well. Problems to date: A/C leaks, on 3rd cat conv due to recalls, and just found out that exhaust manifold is cracked. Only regular maintenance beyond that. Like to get a new car but this thing just doesnt want to give up.

  By LoriB - December 8 - 10:00 am

  I love my Jeep Gr Cherokee. It has been very reliable and fun to drive for 90,000 miles. It had less than 30,000 miles when I bought it.

  old reliable - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jsannes - November 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought this Jeep used with 98,000 miles on it (4.0L six, 4x4). It had an oil pan leak, had no radio, needed tires, and had a crack in the exhaust. Once those items were addressed, I have to say that this Jeep is more comfortable and easy to drive than the 1992 Cherokee that I had before. My average gas mileage is 18.5, it doesnt burn any oil, and it always starts. The 4 coil suspension makes driving around town and long distance very comfortable on my back.

  Our first AWD Jeep GC - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JerryP - September 20 - 10:00 am

  Vehicle purchased as a lease return with 36K miles. Overall it has been a good car for comfort w/o big money spent for repairs. AWD is nice in wet & rainy Puget Sound weather. The V8 gas mileage is just over 12 MPG after almost 5 years of ownership. Recently hadthe car at a Seattle dealer and were advised that the rear-wheel bearings and CV boots needed replacing. Other reviewers have also noted the interior failures of the linings of the doors but stuff like that IS fixable! Overall we are generally satisfied and feel we have chosen widely, having bought it used and not shelling out the original invoice of around $33K.
