  • Shameful for the price - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I paid too much money for this vehicle to be worried about everything breaking. Ive had to have an automatic window break and the fuel pump replaced. Now my side view mirror is broken and costs $500 to replace. Whats next??!! Im very irritated that Daimler/Chrysler knows that there are mechanical/design flaws such as with the fuel pump (Bulletin #1400201), and yet they expect the customers to pay for their shoddy workmanship. I really expected a quality,top-of-the- line car when I purchased my Jeep. My Toyota 4-Runner NEVER, EVER gave me any trouble. I will NEVER buy another Jeep!

  • Waste of money - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I have had many problems, Front Brake rotors have been replaced 3 times, power doors do not work, front doors never open with remote or key, must open rear door and reach in front to opeen either front door.

  • New Rotors every 12,000 miles - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Dont buy this car. Im on my fourth set of rotors in 4 years. They warp so badly after 10,000 miles that braking over 60mph on the highway is dangerous. My dealership pretends that the problem "happens occasionally" with other 2000 JGCs, but this is crap.

  • One and out... - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Same as everyone else, my brakes warped (15k) and had to get them cut. Some annoying vibrations, drive window goes up slow. The a/c comes on now whenever I turn on the vent so I need to get that checked. Its a decent truck, but for the money the quality should be better.

  • Thems The Brakes.... - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is my fifth Jeep product and the only one I have been less than pleased with. Today I had my brake rotors resurfaced for the second time (22k miles) which were shaking the vehicle when I braked. Transmission whines at highway speeds and drivers window clicks going up. Air conditioning is just ok, nothing like the old Grand Wagoneers and the wheels wont stay clean more than a day. I have tried to love this vehicle but can only manage to just like it ok. Have friends with similar Grand Cherokees and similar problems. My wifes 2001 Cherokee Limited is vastly superior in quality if not ride and comfort.

  • Please issue brake recall!!! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Thank goodness I decided to lease! I leased my JGC because I was reluctant Jeeps reputation for poor reliability ("Its a Jeep thing"). I figured that if I leased, all repairs would be under warranty. At 8000 miles the front brake rotors warped. (5 friends with JGCs ALL had the same problem) Coincidence? I think not. I was past the 12 mo/12K mile warranty on the brakes and had to bully the dealer to make the repair for no charge I was assured I would be charged "when" the rotors warped next time. Jeep has ignored this known problem. The dealer gave me some BS about "Seattle traffic" is hard on brakes. Give me a break! My next SUV will be a Toyota Landcruiser.

  • 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!

  • Luxury Price, not so luxury quality - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    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.

  • disappointed - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    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.

  • 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.
