Used 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Consumer Reviews
Getting a bad rap
This SUV does everything I expect from it. I don't get stuck when ever I feel like going over the curb and off the beaten path. It is an excellent car for my wife to lug the groceries or carry her Avon products. It is a comfortable ride for longer trips, 6-8 hours, and plenty of packing space. Pulls my small trailer just fine. Brakes and steering work fine, the ride is comfortable. It still feels new after 70,000+ miles. Interior gadgets are easy, such as the seat maneuvering or seat belts. My gas mileage isn't bad for a 6 cylinder, about 26 mpg. Maintenance has been minimal. It is a pleasure to take out and drive, plenty of pick up speed. The only problem we have is with the dealership maintenance
Going on 9 years and still kicking
I brought my Jeep with 111 miles. In the beginning I had some break issues and some repairs where I found out later the dealership was ripping me off. I did a lot of travel with this jeep and I received I thought excellent mileage. I've been able to travel a max of 4.5 hrs on one tank of gas and I like to speed. AC is still kicking, but driver seat needs to be reupholstered. Other than that not a bad deal considering I've been able to keep it this long and its still pretty when cleaned.

23 Years still going
I bought my 1999 Limited new in September, 1999. Bright Platinum Metallic, still has nice color. The only problems I've had is with the drivers seat, broke one piece at at time, Chrysler knows it is a chronic problem but would not help so I replaced it with an off road seat with a lifetime warranty. Another chronic problem was the driver door window actuator went out a few times, so I got a lifetime warranty replace on that too, and it has done it once more. Another chronic issue with this model is the blend doors on the dual climate control break, but there is a cheap fix to go through the firewall and replace it for $100 it is over $1500 if you do it Chrysler's way and take the dash apart top to bottom. The air blower goes out after about 4 years, I'm on my 4th one now. No other problems and it is 23 years old with 208,000 miles and it is a great weather vehicle and pull my boat with it across the country, to Wisconsin to South Carolina on fishing trip.

Best Vehicle
This is my second Grand Cherokee and its the best vehicle i've had with 57000 and no problems i will be driving it for many years to come
Could be better, could be worse
This was my first car, and I'm actually selling it today. All-around, it's a great car; however, the gas mileage is horrible. My girlfriend gets 30-40 mpg in her Hyundai, and I trail behind at a wimpy 13-17 mpg. Not to mention, it takes quite a sum of money to put gas into it. Air bag sensor is faulty and beeps as it pleases. I had to replace some trans. sensors (had trouble shifting to 2nd and 3rd gears); driver's side dual-climate ctrl didn't work (found out this is common in '99s). Being 10-11 years old, though, it was still a good first car. The leather seats got way too hot in the summertime.
