Piece of Junk

When I purchased my vehicle it only had 31,000 miles. The first week I had to take it back to get the rotors replaced. Next the sensor without the relay went. The fan had to be replaced. The radiator had to be replaced. Then the relay had to be replaced. 2x the tires had to be replaced. The front and back rotors and brakes had to be replaced there was a call back on the front end break system parts had to be replaced. To this day I go out to work in the morning and start my truck and it makes all kind of ticking and other noises until it decides to calm down and finally I can drive off and go to work. How much longer will it last I do not know. But you can believe I will never purchase another Jeep.

Worst Car

Bought this car last year for $800 used, I didn't expect much at all. I have put in nearly $2,000 into this car now. Check engine light has been on for almost a year, i will fix something and something else will break. The rear windows do not work. Had to replace 2 brake lines. Tired of replacing the relay for the fan, it has a new radiator. Seems like every time I fix something, something else on it goes. But SOMEHOW it's still running even after I have neglected it.It has over 208,000 miles now on it, maybe it's time to retire her.

Jeeps are #1

They have the best drive train SUV. They use the old Jeep 4 Wheel system that is very durable. I've driven almost every SUV and the Jeep was very comfortable but yet very rugged and made to handle the off road. I've owned about 10 Jeeps over the years and would not trade them for any other SUV. I wanted a vehicle that I knew I could depend on in bad weather. Last winter in NW PA)I drove right through the 4 foot high (plus)drifts in my driveway without even clearing a path and didn't get stuck once. I was on my way to pull a family members Explorer out of the snow that was stuck trying to get out of there driveway.

2003 Jeep Laredo is a Danger on the road

My Jeep is now in the shop for the 6th time in 5 weeks, for the same problem-it keeps shutting off; at lights, stop signs, on the road, in the parking lot. Lose power steering and brakes. Only has not quite 58,000 miles on it over 6 years and 3 months. I will NEVER buy another Chrysler car again.
