  • NEVER AGAIN - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is my first and LAST Diamler/Chrysler product! The tires went bald at 25000 under normal driving conditions, with regular rotating. The brakes had to be done at 27000. Soon after both window motors in the front doors had to be replaced at my expense. Then the automatic headlight switch went bad causing my battery to be drained, had to purchase new $150 switch and battery. Most recently the back left door automatic locking mechanism is not working. Im a military Officer and proud American but will never again buy a Domestic vehicle, my $11,000 97 Nisan Sentra has never had a problem and it has power everything! Dont say I didnt warn you!

    We knew we were rolling the dice when we bought this used vehicle based on the reviews. Two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the a/c started to blow warm air on a road trip. Dealer could not find a problem. Door locks broke soon after. Dealer wanted $370 to fix. Car vibrates above 65 mph. Dealer seems unconcerned about providing solutions to the customer. We have only put 6,500 miles on this car in 10 months. We have traded this car in for a foriegn model. I will never buy another JEEP vehicle again. Build quality is awful and customer service is pathetic!!

    This vehicle is fun to drive, it handles well, has nice part time 4x4 option -- great for the rain. However its not reliable, rotors, and pads must be changed to aftermarket asap (expensive). Sensors, relays, and windows quit working way before youd expect. And Ive had serious electrical issues which cause the vehicle to quit while Im driving (dangerous). Dealerships seems to provide little product support, and manufacturer takes little responsibility. These problems seem persistent regardless of how I take care of my vehicle, or how I drive it. Oh, the fuel gauge and rear gate lock have also quit working.

    When I purchased the Jeep, I thought I was getting a great SUV. Boy was I wrong. I have had power window motors go out, power door locks go out, had to replace the gas tank, had a new power seat and power seat back and dont even get me started on the problems with the brakes on this vehicle. Ask anyone who has owned one, the brakes are a major design problem. Jeep sent a service notice out about a $400 kit to fix the brakes but do they offer to take care of the buyer of their car. No! This will be at my expense and guess what, Im not going to do it. Stay away from this car. Im selling mine as fast as I can.

    Well, I bought a 2000 jeep used in August 02 and my story is no different from the others Ive read. First the transmission began to slip, luckly the dealership replaced a sensor and it has been okay since. Then I noticed the roaring in the rear which Jeep said there was nothing wrong with the car. It pulled to the right and a special part had to be order to align the vehicle. Brakes!! Yeah, Im beginning to understand what thats all about. Ive had the car four months, replaced the brakes once and can you guess? They are shaking again. From the other reviews I dont think there is any hope.

  • Dont Buy One - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    This has been the worst vehicle we have ever owned and are in the process of getting rid of this junk. Poor quality. Since day one the car has had a very hard pull to the right. The Jeep has been to the dealer about 8 times for the pull and for brakes. They have been very uncooperative and told me the pull was normal....yea right.

    Vehicle obviously built on a Monday or Friday. Poor manufacturer quality. Door lock failure ($1775 repair), timing chain failure ($2600 repair), cylinder head damage as result ($1200 repair). Dual heater control blend door repair ($980 repair) all in 2005. Vehicle has 120,000 miles. Chews brake pads like lunch. Will trade in on import vehicle ASAP. Advice: dont buy the Jeep GCL....

  • Worst car Ive owned - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I drove this car for 8 years. Regretted buying it after a year. I replaced or had to get the transmission torn down THREE times in less than 80k miles. Twice it was covered by warranty, but the third was all on me. Never got rid of a very loud and irritating sound, and the wiring wasnt ever correct due to manufacturers defect. I had no less than SIX recalls. Finally, the manufacturer instructed the dealer to put the wrong brakes on the vehicle - discovered when they melted into the wheels during a road trip. Mfr paid for repairs but not hotel stay - we were stranded waiting for parts. Just dont buy it.

  • No problems here! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    This is a great vehicle! I would buy one again. Great fun. Very Dependable. No problems.

  • Very Satisfied - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    We leased it new. Now were buying it! Weve moved three times and fit lots in the back when the seats are down. Well, now that were buying it, therell probably be lots of things that fall apart, because thats how things go sometimes. Well just buy an extended warranty.
