  Exellent SUV - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Ryan62 - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I own a 99 JGL with select trac 4wd, 98k miles and have had only 2 issues with it. (1) The water pump went out after a grueling 4x4 expediton. Mud, water forging, steep inclines, and rock hopping. (2) The transfer case had a slight leak. Other than these minor diffculties the Jeep has ran great. It does have the clunk when shifting to reverse, but thats the nature of a good transmission. It also has the hard shift between 2 and 3rd, but I speculate the factory told the computers to shift at a bad time; it only happens when I take some time to get up to speed, not when I floor it when the stop light becomes green.

  My love/hate relationship - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Live and Learn - May 16 - 2:00 am

  Bought 14months ago with 37000 miles. Lots of trouble. Replaced front brakes twice. Replaced relay switch in fan. Repaired A/C, Replaced stereo, Repaired transmission leak, Replaced rear end. Jeep does not stand by their product. This was my dream vehicle but turned into a nightmare. Dont even consider buying this year and model Jeep.

  Poor Quality throughout the vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By FormerJeepOwner - May 14 - 10:00 am

  I am telling myself NEVER, NEVER again buy a Jeep vehicle. Over $4,000 in repair costs in just over 2 years. Leaks in hoses, blown water pumps, power windows completely failed & had to replace, many electrical & mechanical malfunctions & defects, defective sensors, major transmission & engine problems....etc. Dont forget to consider the extremely poor resale values due to Jeeps reputation for poor quality & reliability. Ive concluded it would have been more inexpensive to have bought a BMW or Mercedes sports car than the Jeep...at least those have high resale values.

  Everything that can go wrong went wrong with this vehicle. From transmission, brake to window, doors,seats,etc.,everything seemed to fall apart. On average, it lasts less than 900 miles per dealer service day. Just repaced all rotors less than 30,000 miles, after two re-surfacing.

  Over 205000 - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bricker - May 13 - 9:33 am

  We have used our Grand Cherokee as our main family transportation for almost seven years now. Bought it used with 69000 from a private owner. We use the 4wd regularly on our mini-farm and camping trips. Weve never had any 4wd issues. Rebuilt the trans. for the first time at 190000. Other work Ive done other than the regular maint. is a water pump, brake booster, trans. speed sensor. Weve been very pleased with the 4.0 in other Jeeps we had too. Its a big inline 6 so do not expect great mileage, but its got reliability and performance. The key to Jeeps from my experience (this is my 3rd) is keeping up with the routine maint. especially oil/fluid changes. Have fun, get outdoors!

  Looks Good Runs Good Lots Of Problems - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Ryan - April 30 - 5:03 am

  Purchased vehicle with 49k on it in 2005. Now has 78k on it and weve had to: Replace rotors and brakes, front and rear; rear axle seals and bearings; front drive shaft boot; passenger side window module; drivers side rear & passenger front locks; drivers side break light assembly (because of short in internal wiring/sautering); dash speakers keep blowing; fan clutch; hood struts; on date of purchase had a rear drive shaft seal replaced. Shortly after purchase transfer case/rear end started making a clunking noise from stop and go. Not a scratch on it, almost as clean as a new one. Jeep is garaged and full service every 3000 miles. Only driven to work and back with occational road trip.

  Great Vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By great outdoors - April 10 - 2:00 am

  A few minor problems in the beginning. But dealership handled it and havent had any problems since. Never had a single brake problem like everyone else talks about. As a matter of fact i have only put one set of front brakes on in 88000 miles and no rear brakes yet. Handling is key in this vehicle, i would put it up against any other suv on the market for cornering, and believe me i have driven nearly everything out there in its price range.

  1999 jeep family vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By George Coffey - February 25 - 2:00 am

  We, my wife and I, bought the vehicle used. Had 32000 mi. the brakes were checked and described as ok.... after 11000 mi we encountered problems, and the dealer we purchased it from stated it needed a complete brake job. we stated that when we purchased it , the check system stated they were ok? the dealership would not stand behind there own check system, and we purchased the best warrenty program to a tune of $2000 and of course the warrenty program doesnt replace brakes. So I had to pay something like $450 for a brake job... We also had the rear end differential relaced due to noise..warrenty covered this problem..

  By marco alvarez - February 13 - 10:00 am

  since i bought my jeep i have had too many problems, brakes, steering noise, ghost bump, stalling, i have had 2 previous jeeps and this was the first one with these major problems, my 1997 JGC had brake problems, i now own a 2001 pathfinder. it just took one test drive around the block and i soon realized what real quality meant
