Bought used with 24K on it. Have had to have the blend (heater) door fixed - entire dash dismantled, but successful. Had a power window break because it was froze shut and I tried to open it. Dealer where I bought it has NOT been helpful - in fact I would have to say they STINK. Another dealer has been GREAT! They got Jeep to pay for parts off-warranty and fixed things promptly and correctly. Seat could be a bit wider, other than that I love the vehicle, I just hope it keeps running and $2 parts quit breaking that cost $1000 to fix!
Love my Jeep :)

I had a 2000 jeep cherokee. Loved it, beat the hell out of it though. By the time I was done with it the interior roof fabric was black and neon green swirls, the outside was spray painted like jurassic park. The drivers seat was swapped for the equivalent of a seat from a ridge racer arcade game. I didn't want to get rid of it, and am sad I did. I got a Chevy tahoe I thought would be better. It was not, it had numerous problems that would have cost me thousands at a dealer if I wasn't handy and adventurous. Did brakes, fuel pump, distributor/spark plugs, and fuel filter. Then it blew a rod on christmas eve and I had to give it away to get it towed away. Then I bought a honda accord with 100k on it, that car had about 50 problems I didnt want to deal with. Dealt with 5 or so anyways. After that I got my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I will be buying Jeeps from now on. The car is great in winter, the 4.0L is basically bulletproof, any issue is extremely easy to deal with because the 4.0L engine is so simple and perfect. I expect to put at least 100k on it without issue. Mainly because I take care of it, and don't care if the blend doors fail. A/C is super nice right now, but if it breaks I'll open my window. If you can't fix simple issues, may not be the car for you. If you have a garage and the internet, the repairs are cheap and minimal. Great car, Jeeps are amazing if you can fix minor stuff yourself.

I bought my '03 Overland new in December '02. I really loved the styling as well as long list of standard features. My problems started at around 10k miles with a broken hvac fan motor. The dealer replaced the resistor pack. Almost exactly 1 year later to the date, the fan died again. The dealer replaced the resistor pack again to fix it. 1 year later the heat stopped working for the passenger side; this time it was the blend door, a very expensive repair had the Jeep not been under the original warranty. So to sum it up the dash got ripped out 3 times in under 3 years, which would have cost over $2k had it not been under warranty. For these problems alone I can't recommend a Grand.
Seats Catch On Fire!

2003 Overland purchased new Oct 2002. 72000 miles and the same tires / brakes still in good shape. Runs great. No issues except it cost $750 to repair the heater blend door last year. Returned to dealer for electric seat warmer recall in Jan 07. Thought all was repaired but yesterday the driver's seat caught fire and burned holes in the leather seating area. Obviously from the seat warmer. Called the dealer and will take it in this week and see if Chrysler will warranty it, More later. Be careful of the electric seat heaters in these Jeeps. Seems as if others have had the same problem as well, from what I can determine from the Internet.
Superb Vehicle!

Purchased 2003 Jeep Overland new in October 2002. Now have 90,000+ trouble free miles. Only recall by Chrysler was to repair the electric seat warmers. This Jeep still has it's original Goodyear tires on it! Rotated all 5 wheels every 10,000 miles. Great power and comfort. Will tow anything I have put behind it. I would have purchased another vehicle by now it were not for the great performance and reliability of my Jeep.
