Clearly the worse craftsmanship I have seen in a vehicle. It spent more time in the shop than any automobile I have heard of. Brakes are awful - I am on my FIFTH set of routers at 36000. The car looks great and the engine seems strong - but just about everything else has issues.

I love my 2000 Jeep. I am never afraid of being stuck, driving in hard places, or steep slick drives. I like the room. I haul 3,000 newspapers each week and deliver to several counties in all types of weather. My college son fell asleep for a second- ran into the back of a semi with his cruise on. He was on an Interstate & wasn't hurt. The Jeep suffered $7500 damage but repaired and runining good as ever. I was glad he was in my Jeep-the perfect height. My van or his sports car would have been bad for him. This is my second Jeep. I'm looking at the new Jeeps now. I just love the Grand Cherokees!

The factors I used to determine which SUV I was going to buy was performance, reliability, comfort, appearance and value. My search lead me to the Toyota Fourunner and Jeep Grand Cherokee. I wanted a mid-range SUV. Nothing as big as a Land Cruiser or smaller than an Explorer. I chose the Jeep after test driving both vehicles. The Toyota was very nice and I know they are dependable, but price was a factor. I got more for my money and additional options. Three years later, I still love my Jeep and would buy it again if I had to do it all over again1

Purchased because a previous Grand Cherokee had over 300,000 miles before it was wrecked. Few problems. Brakes need to be replaced, passenger side heater failed and was expensive to fix. The holders for the hood don't work. Blew both front speakers in the dash. Don't like the fact that the cd changer is in the back. Door seals don't fit correctly. There is an issue with the oil pressure sensor. On rare occasions it says it drops to 0, then the car shuts off, but nothing is wrong with it; if you rev the engine it keeps the pressure up. The gas mileage stinks, but it's a V8 so it's expected.

I can't believe that I actually bought another Jeep Grand Cherokee after the problems I had with the first two. My 2000 has been a supreme disappointment and like many others, I have sworn off Jeeps for good. No more American crap for me. Major brake problems that have now cost me over $800 to fix, locking problems on the doors (a $300 fix), a clunking noise in the transmission and an AWD problem that the dealer seems to think I'm imagining. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves for not bucking up and covering some fo the costs associated with these repairs -- it's going to cost them in the long run.

I owned a 96 JGC prior to purchasing the 2000 Laredo. So for I enjoy driving this vehical. It's fun to drive. I have the V8 235 hp engine, two tone leather seat package found in the overland, sun roof, heated mirrors and the infinity gold sound system. I hope this vehical turns out to be as reliable as my 96 was. With a lot of the reviews however, it making me wonder if this vehical with be dependable. I do not drive it every day. Only on the week ends. I love the body design and one of the reasons I got it was I think you get more bang for the buck when compared to the BMW SUV.
Brakes and rotors nightmare

Good looks and fun to drive but be ready to pay for many visits to the shop. The quality of the parts is awful. With only 40,000 miles I have had to change the calipers and rotors 3 times at $1500 more or less each time. This has been such a problem that there has been a class action lawsuit on it. There have also been many complaints about the fuel injection though I fortunately haven't had any. The vehicle has also had 3 factory recalls. On the other hand it is very comfortable and handles well on the road.
Great SUV

The only problem I had with this Jeep was I had 27000 miles on it and the tranny went and I was not under the warranty. But other then that I love it nothing bad except the tranny

Bought used, private party in '05 w/53k miles. Have replaced water pump and front brakes and rotors. Using ceramic rotors is a big help and so is upgrading the rotors with all of the reported problems. This solves them all. Am about to replace front tweeters. OEMs had problems. Also have a '90 YJ w/263k mi. Jeeps are tough, but they're not perfect. Haven't had a vehicle that was, but Jeeps are among the best out there. Like any vehicle, maintenance is extremely important. In reality, there are a few bad vehicles, but mostly bad owners that the vehicles take the blame for. Use common sense and good maintenance practices and it'll treat you well. Would definitely buy another.

Bought this car 7 years ago and it is still running strong! Took it from the east coast to the west coast several times and everywhere in between. It handles great in the snow. Maintenance makes all the difference with this car. Had big problems with the transfer case which was fixed under warranty. Also rotors warped quickly...used ceramic ones and they lasted much longer. Door seals don't fit properly and some transmission issues. Overall, it has started everyday in 100 degree weather or 5 below. Can't beat that.

Drives good, rides good, looks good but never too far from the shop. Driver side window regulator replaced twice, fuel gauge replaced, a kit installed on the fuel pump to fix a problem of hard starting, fuel pump quit working, replaced with another pump which quit after two weeks of driving. Radio speakers and tweeters replaced with regularity and finially just pulled dashboard tweeters out because even new ones would only last a month. Strut arms on hood and trunk are junk after about 2 years and I just keep replacing them. These were the problems which were the worst.

I was initially pleased with the Grand Cherokee, but after a multitude of problems, i.e.- broken door locks, defective weather stripping, hetaed seat failure, and replacement / repair of front brakes 3 times by 37,000 miles. The dealer was completely uncooperative and I was forced to write a letter to the CEO of Daimler-Chrysler for North America, Dr. Dieter Zetsche. If you decide to buy anyway look up the TSB's- Technical Service Bulletins on theinternet first as it may discourage your purchase.

Overall, the Jeep is beautiful! Plenty of power and it gets me where I want to go. Now, if Jeep would fix the brake problems and get that stupid clicking sound out of my steering column I would be happier. I still think I will take my business elsewhere for my next vehicle...GERMANY!

This is the second JCG I have owned. I have had it from 30 k to 48 k in Chicago. No problems so far. Ideal commuter, hauler, bad weather transportation, and taxi cab drag racer. Cleans up well enough for a night on the town. A good friend bought the Laredo version (2001), and it was clearly a Lemon. He changed to the limited version with the K package (like mine), and now is very happy.

Bought new in 2000 and nothing but trouble. $1100 in breaks, 2 broken doorlocks=$300 and now broken front leather seat. I really thought I bought a good quality car but got just a piece of junk. Chrysler has been no help and I suggest a class action lawsuit for the breaks.

For the price the quality is not built into the car. Many little but annoying problems. Humming noise from the transmition. Electrical problems with overhead console. This is my second Jeep, I will try another brand next time.

Our Jeep just turned 73,000 miles. We've managed to put it through some real extremes during the mileage run. Towing in 100+ degree Texas heat, -30 cold in the Colorado high country, off roading to groceries, it has performed flawlessly. The only money spent has been for brake rotors, pads and normal maintenance. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Oh, where to start! I've had this POS for 4 months and have had it to the dealership 6 times! Brake rotors warp, Steering column clicks, sunroof when opened makes a rattling sound, the Jeep pulls to the right, big time! The dealer tells me this is normal and that it's the "crown on the road", WHATEVER! This vehical is the WORST vehical I've ever owned. Not only will I never buy a Jeep, I'll never buy a Chrysler after being dicked around by the dealership so much, they were very painful to deal with!

I desperately want to love this vehicle, but 3 brake repairs by 35,000 miles (and another one soon to come) has ruined my dream. Only other problem has been some cheap interior molding/weather stripping on the inside of the door (hey Daimler-Chrysler, time to stop using Elmers School Glue and use some real adhesive). Our lease expires next month. I was tempted to buy it out, but I foresee 1 or 2 $500 brake jobs per year in my future if I go that route. Perhaps I'll give the 2004 Jeeps a shot (at least they give us a "loyalty" discount for being a current Jeep owner).

Less than 30K miles and two brake jobs later I went up to the dealer and they admitted that there is a TSB out to rplace brakes, but they do it only in extreme situations (hm, a lawsuit maybe?) and that did not apply in my case. They said it would be justified if I had two brake jobs in less than 10K (sic!) and really uncomfortable braking exeprience or trouble. I gave up. My car was paid off, so I quickly decided to get another one. Can't really be spending $500 on brakes ever year I owe it.

This was my 2nd Cherokee. I have enjoyed driving this car although I will never get a 6 cyl. engine in a car this heavy again. I got great mileage but a little sluggish getting on the highway. The overall reliability has been unbeatable with the exception of the brakes pads. I replace pads about every 15,000 miles. It has gotten me through many Northeast snow storms with solid performance.

I have returned this vehicle once due to the brakes grabbing due to poor rotors. It once again needs returned with 24,000 miles. My friend with a '99 LTD has returned his once and again needs it with less than 20,000 miles. Electric windows have been a problem as well. I had one fixed at 12,000 and need another at 25,000
Don't Buy A Jeep

We bought 2000 Jeep with 35,000 miles, and just a few months of owning our Jeep the back window motor broke, then the drive side, then the passenger side. So we have replaced 3 window motors in 3 years costing $350.00 a piece to replace. Then the battery and alternator went. Then we had to replace the front differential bearings. Now 2 days ago we found out we have to replace the whole engine because the rod bearings broke. This Jeep was bought in excellent condition, not a mark on it. We bought it as a family car we do not go mountain climbing in it, we keep it updated with the oil and fluids change. This is very upsetting and every time I think about this it makes me sick in the stomach.

Overall, this is an OK vehicle. My major complaints are the same as everyone elses...brakes warped at 12K, dealer machined for me free but they are bad a again at 24K. Have 26K now and realize Jeep has a TSB otu on the brakes. Dealer is supposed to add a kit to spread the pads further from the rotors and replace the rotors and pads for free. Heritage in Bel Air, MD won't so this for me. Unsure highway driving as steering is a bit loose. But everything else is OK.
Please issue brake recall!!!

Thank goodness I decided to lease! I leased my JGC because I was reluctant Jeep's reputation for poor reliability ("It's 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.

I use to go through about one vehicle a year until I bought a used 1996 Grand Cherokee. I was so impressed with it, that within a year I bought my present 2000 model. The Jeep is perfect for my use. For a SUV, I consider it's 23-24 mpg on the highway a decent performance. Although not a hot rod, it has all the power needed for 99% of the time. Other than the having the driver's power window unit replaced once, it has given me trouble free operation.

I have been holding breath about this car since we 1st bought it since our expectations about car quality have been set by Honda, Benz and other European cars we have owned! Two month ago, my confidence took a beating due to a recall notice that my friend (Jeep basher) called me about. Also, the breaks are gone already at 15000 miles!! On down hill slopes towards Santa Cruz, the car shakes when I press on the breaks to decelerate the car! Granted that my wife is the primray driver and they are torture on breaks, I would have expected a lot more distance with the breaks. The bottom line is that I feel less secure with this car

I like the look and feel, great interior and comfort. As great as the creature comforts are the quality is as poor. Does not come close in quality to past foreign vehicles I have owned.

This vehicle has been maintained consistently. I have changed oil every 5000 miles and brought to dealer for follow up requirements. I live in NYC and only use the the Jeep from June through September to drive upstate to our summer townhouse. The Jeep otherwise is always garaged. The Jeep has saved us in some major snowstorms. I have leased this vehicle since 2000 and am totally happy with it. My company has been paying monthly $300 and now my lease is up and they won't let me re-lease ... so I hate giving up the Jeep.

Buying any Jeep GC? - reconsider and run the other way. Me, I/ve owned 3 of them - every year the engineers figure out how to make them cheaper. 1993, 1998, 2000 have finally learned my lesson. They are oh so beautiful but what a mechanical nightmare. Yea, yea, yea I know all about maintaining them - simply junk, mopar junk. The paint is world class and that's it folks.
