My 2001 Jeep GC Limited

This is my second Quadratrac GC and this car is a beast! Yeah, gas mileage sucks but at 5500 lbs gross weight and all time all wheel drive, I'm not sure what people expect. Reliability is good but as the car gets up in mileage things do go wrong. I'm not a mechanic but handy and the list of things I've done to my GC is endless. New fluids all around except brakes. Rear brakes, brake line, rear wheel bearing, drag link tie rods, steering stabilizer, heater core and AC evaporator, blend doors, window motors on 3 of 4 windows, front and rear shocks and probably some other minor stuff that's not coming to mind. I live in FL and have not done much off road except your occasional mud swell but know this vehicle is an exceptional off road machine. I use it mainly as a second run-around vehicle and to tow my 21 foot aquasport to the water. These cars are a dime a dozen and if you find a "good one" it could last you well into the 300-400k mileage. My last one was a 1999 GC and I sold it for $2100 bucks with 250K miles plus. If you're mechanically inclined and can do the work yourself, you're in luck, as the parts are relatively inexpensive and the car itself is pretty easy to work on. The long of the short: not the most reliable car but for the jeep enthusiast this is a crown jewel.

I bought the vehicle in 2004 just off of a lease program with 69,000 miles. I now have 177,000 miles and its running great. The transmission did give out at 148k but thats about normal. I bought it because of the legendary straight six. IMO and my only complaint with the vehicle is there should have been a recall on the window motors. All four window motors have been replaced over the years. All four with the same exact problem, the cable snapped overnight while the window was up. I was told the replacement motors all had a heavier cable. Comfort: about a year ago I thought i was ready for that cool looking Volvo XC90 ! Then I test drove one, couldn't wait to get out of it.

It seems that there are allot of people out there that love to hate this Jeep, but I must say that it has thoroughly impressed me. I have taken it across the entire north western half of the country and back in the dead of winter and couldn't have felt more confident traveling in this vehicle. With the Quadra-Drive AWD system, 4.7 V8, and heated seats it's almost too easy! 20 MPG overall doesn't hurt, either. Handling/roadholding has also impressed me versus the Land Cruiser and older Range Rover SUV's that I have driven in the past. Reliability has been great thus far, with an easy to work on underhood layout.
good car

Got mine in '08 with 80k miles. I put another 100k miles on it before it was totaled in a wreck in '12. I loved this car. It was comfy and nice to drive. It had its problems, but that's to be expected with its age. Most of the issues were electrical: window motors going out, tail lights going out and check engine light came on and no one could figure out why. But I loved it and it will be missed.
so far ,so good

We have had a few problems, but overall very good luck with this vehicle. 123,000 miles on the car. Break rotors warped and replaced 3 times. Chrysler finally paid for a really good set of slotted rotors (class action suit) and we have had no problems since. A few lights have burned out and a seat heater went out. Overall very pleased with the SUV. Love the smooth,tiny, but powerful V8 engine.
