  Satisfaction plus - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jim Liberacki - September 21 - 10:53 am

  Our Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best overall vehicle for the money we have ever experienced. It is particularly easy to operate in traffic and park in tight places. The continuous 4 wheel drive allows the freedom of off-road maneuvering at the ranch. Plenty of road power. The mileage is actually less than our 97 Cadillac with the Northstar engine system. The Jeep is consistently around 19 MPG sometimes a little less. Love it.

  Too many shop visits - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By lespos - August 21 - 10:00 am

  Ive had more problems with this vehicle. The a/c went out. Ive replaced 3 sets of front brake rotors, new front axles. Now its making a loud noise in the front end when you get to about 20 MPH and up. The dealer told me it was the transfer case. Someone else told me its the front differential. The door locks failed. Im getting rid of this one and wont buy another.

  Great car - on or off road! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jjddkk - August 17 - 10:00 am

  This has been a great family car for a very active family. My kids are now teanagers and we bought this car to replace the minivan. We take it off road camping, drive in deep snow, rain, and have driven accross the country. I still like it five years later! Very little has gone wrong with it. Electric lock on the back hatch failed and weatherstripping on one door came loose. Its a heavy car, so breaks dont last as long as on a sedan. The 6 cyl. has all the power you need. The interior is a little tight for four people with gear on trips, but so much of the driving happens around town I couldnt see buying a larger SUV with a V8.

  Jeep - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By planekeeper1 - August 11 - 6:43 am

  I bought the 99 model after testing it Carmax. So far we have had 2 power window motors replaced, the water pump, the door lock system failed, 2 speakers and the brakes twice. I cant keep front brakes on this thing. The good news is that we bought the extended warranty ( the mechanics have no clue what they are doing by the way). On the bright side, it is good for long trips and has enough room for my family of 4 and all our stuff. The four wheel drive works well also. As soon as we can afford it, I am trading it for a Ford F150 pickup.

  BUY A HONDA INSTEAD !!!!!!!!!!! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By franco66 - July 27 - 10:00 am

  I am trying to think of something good to say about our Jeep, wait "I have it," its for sale in the newspaper. Entire front wheel bearing assembly replaced at 60K. Water pump at 65K. Air signed off at 60K. The interior room in this car is a joke for such a heavy car. Quality throughout is a nightmare. Windows quit working. Hood lifts replace every 40K. Used the 4WD one time in snow and developed oil leak in transfer case 1 week later. I could go on but I know you get the message. Any car out there is going to give you better service than this Chrysler made piece of JUNK !!!!!!!!!!!

  Dont buy a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Laredo - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Scarlet - May 22 - 3:16 pm

  We bought this car used for my son. We have replaced tie rods, cv boots, transmission, air conditioning, brakes front and back, axle shaft. Now we found out the rear axles are shot and the front needs ball joints and new cv boots. We have put a fortune in this car in 3 years thinking that after all the expense we may be able to drive it to get our moneys worth. We are now trading it in for the cash for clunkers and it makes me sick since it has all these new items and the body is in great shape. We cant put another $1800 that we were just quoted to fix it. This car had to be a lemon when designed.

  Several problems with brakes but dealer did most of the work in warranty. Other than that, this has been a very nice vehicle. I will definitely buy another one. Dealer service very good.

  99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By pbs8704 - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Although it looks nice and rides nice, and the engine has been basically dependable, Ive had so many "minor" things go wrong with this vehicle that I would NEVER buy another one. Currently less than 41,000 miles. Stereo speakers blew, O-rings replaced, front rotors turned twice and rear rotors turned once (at less than 36,000 miles), leaking windows, misc. electrical failures, three recalls, tailight assemblies replaced, front driver seat assembly replaced ... the list goes on and on.

  My 1999 Grand Cherokee. - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Migue1 - April 19 - 10:00 am

  I encountered several electrical problems with my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The drivers/passengers windows got stuck several times and I had to visit the dealership on numerous occasions to have this problem corrected. Also had a problem with the front brakes (disk) getting bent even though the car had less than 20,000 miles and was driven carefully. The AC (evaporator) also went bad and had to be replaced . A lot of my friends have had similar experiences with their Grand Cherokees as well. Car also had several recalls (three) during the last three years, and due to the above mentioned problems I will not purchase/lease a Grand Cherokee again..
