  Keep away from this SUV - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 2784 Penn State - December 14 - 2:00 am

  One of the worst vehicles Ive ever owned. In the repair shop all the time. Spent over $6500.00 in 24 months on repairs. A/C, transfer case, power windows, moonroof, C/V joints, brakes...QUAD TRACTION is a nightmare. Consumer reports warned about this vehile...they were right.

  This Jeep is a terrible vehicle - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By reedl - December 12 - 10:00 am

  When we purchased the vehicle, we expected the reliability that is sort of associated with Jeeps. What we got instead is the garbage associated with Chrysler. In 51000 miles, we have gone through 4 sets of rotors, three sets of brake pads, 2 seat heaters, a rear differential rebuild, and a whole laundry list of minor items that have broken (power mirrors, power seats, covers on seat belts, etc..) The dealer knows about the brake problems, Chrysler will not admit there is a problem. I am glad we did not purchase the Quadra-Drive which had even more problems in this year also. Basically I cannot in good conscience recommend this vehicle to anybody.

  Look else where - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By bruce feldman - December 7 - 10:00 am

  In the first 18 months I had to have new wheel bearings,new battery, rear window motors went out, transmission went out. From month 18 to present I had to have new bearings again in the rear, transmission probblems due to dealership service dept. mistake. I WILL NEVER BUT ANOTHER JEEP. This is the first U.S. car Ive owned in 19 years. My next car will be a BMW 330ci

  Jeeps got to love them - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JeepGuy - November 30 - 2:00 am

  This is the most powerful Jeep I have owned to date. I have owned a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country also. I still own the 95 as an extra car. It is pushing 99,000 miles and is still in mint condition. The 99 Jeep shows great improvement over previous models. Plus it is so much faster and more powerful then also all the other SUVs I have driven(excluding the BMW X5 4.4i and 4.6i).

  Purchased new in 1999, now have 90000 miles. Still love the looks and power of the 4.7 liter 8 w/ quadtrac. Some problems with brake rotors in front ... nothing serious. Mileage not real good, 15/19, but this is a heavy 4wd vehicle. The heater in the drivers seat has not worked in years and the hood will not stay up. I am concerned about the future after reading these reviews ... am looking at a Mazda3 5 door.

  Not happy - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By TrailCat - October 26 - 7:33 pm

  We owned a 1995 Grand Cherokee, V-8 for 3 or 4 years. Bought it used and drove it until it had 250,000 miles on it. It began stalling out under all conditions and NO ONE could find the answer. We then bought a 1999 Grand Cherokee with 110,000 miles, and it has been a piece of junk! Our friends have a 1999 Grand and our problems mirror each others, costing hundreds of dollars for each repair. To replace power window mechanism; $400+ each window. Tail light unit; $250+ each. Front drive shaft (new design for that year); $500+. We are done repairing! We want a different Jeep Grand, but to find the year with the least problems.

  Everything is great except powertrain - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By TFrey - October 25 - 10:00 am

  This has really been an excellent car, except for the recent transmission problems Im having now. This SUV drives smoother, has better interior, and more power than even some of the V8s in its class (Ford, Nissan, Toyota, etc). But the transmissions are notorious for going bad soon after 50K (Im one of the unlucky ones). It slips when shifting between 2nd gear and drive...it either hesitates between gears, or wont shift out of 2nd until the rpms are way high. The new tranny is costing me $3000. If you notice any weird sounds or shifting behavior...dont delay...take it in asap.

  Awesome for years - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Ironman27 - September 17 - 10:33 pm

  Whole family has owned Jeeps for 20 plus years now. I am on my 4th grand cherokee. Only because I like to upgrade. Made 200k on every one of them between everyone in my family with only minor repairs. Conclusion, most people simply do not know how to properly care for their cars. Overdue on oil and servicing dates, driving their cars like they are in the daytona 500. Driving on after finding a potential problems. Not treating the interiors (leather, dash) etc. Sure, their are some lemons, but as a mechanic I am shocked when people bring their cars in in most cases.

  99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Chris - September 10 - 6:06 pm

  I havent had this car too long, but long enough to "rate it." Its a great SUV, comfortable, not too bad on gas but right now its in the shop for the crankshaft sensor, a part recalled in 2004 and the dealership isnt honoring it. I havent had any real problems other than a speed sensor about two months ago when I first bought it. My sunroof tends to leak and it is really annoying. Other than that I love my Jeep and I wouldnt choose anything else. I also have a noise in the front left tire area, Im thinking maybe the control arm or a ball joint, but its expected, it has 86,000 miles on it and I only paid $8,500 for it. Its a Limited, fully loaded with EVERY option and accessory.
