transmission - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By BURRRRR - March 5 - 2:00 amat 70,000 miles I now need a $2239.00 major transmission repair. I verified the mileage before purchasing this car in March 2002. I thought the mileage was low and my wife and I are in our 50s and we dont drive rough or go 4-wheelin in the woods. The car went quickly from slow shfting one day to big time slipping the next day and getting lost in no gear at all before the automatic transmission shifted to high gear. terribly disapointed.

So So - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Glenn Scott - February 27 - 8:33 pmI have always been a Toyota fan. I still am. This vehicle just didnt measure up. By the time I had 100K on it things were literally falling apart. The engine has been no problem to 150K. But the brakes are a Joke. They thump about 2K after having them done. I have had them done about 12 times. The tranny signed off at 105K and the ball joints and front end were all done at 115K. It did get a solid 20 MPG and the seats never wore or tore so I guess not all bad. My last 4 Runner got retired at 280K original tranny and ball joints. Oh yeah, I had the brakes done about 5 times and they never ever thumped!

Its a JEEP! (-: - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Brandi - February 17 - 10:00 amGreat vehicle. Bought used a year ago with 103,000 miles on it. Now has 130,000 on it and no problems other than preventive maintenance(things that need to be replaced at 100,000+ miles). Had 86 Cherokee with 230,000 when I got rid of it and FIL has 91 Cherokee with 250,000+ on it so I know I have many miles left. Regretted getting rid of mine til I got this one. Glad to be back in a Jeep! People who say otherwise should think about how it was cared for before making a judgement on quality. If well-cared for, will last for many miles.

150,000 - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By cweiland - February 14 - 1:39 amJust hit 150,000 miles and it is still running strong. The thing wont die! The interior is falling apart, my A/C dosent work and im leaking a bit of oil and antifreeze but thats an easy fix. Most reliable vehicle ive owned, engine wise. Its no Aston Martin but ill take it I guess.

Reliable SUV - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By tortislc - January 12 - 1:06 pmI bought this vehicle with 140,000 miles and it runs really good! I had a couple of sensors go out, but the dealer replaced them. Other than that, it is awesome! It got me around in the Blizzard of 06 in Colorado! Excellent sound system, love the leather, just looks like new! I will buy another Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited when the time comes and give this one to my son!

HARD TO BEAT A JEEP - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By matsr - January 11 - 7:04 pmA wrangler or Grand Cherokee is hard to beat. The 96-98 years for the ZJ was one of the best. Highly modifiable and good for off road and trailer/boat towing. Get you about the same place as a wrangler will go. Have had both; now we have as a second vehicle, our 3rd 96 Laredo with 4.0 liter six with 4x4.

What else can go wrong - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By horrible suv - December 30 - 10:00 amI have replaced fuel pump, power steering pump, water pump, radiator, rear end, and radio. The air conditioning was leaking water into the interior..sounds baffling. I guess that is another common problem in these jeeps. These repairs were all done at my "five star" jeep dealership. Thank God that I had purchased the extended warranty. I have 119, 000 miles on it now. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. Make sure you stay away from the V8 and four wheel drive. The interior door panels are falling apart. I think jeep makes a few crappy ones out there just so the dealers service department can make a few bucks.

My trusted Jeep - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Will - December 18 - 5:40 pmI love my Jeep. Yeah Ive had some normal problems with a car that now has 155,000 miles on it like replace radiator, starter, window motor, and a couple of other things, but thats normal. Parts are really cheap for it and the car is easy to work on. The inline 6 cylinder is virtually bullet proof.
