Good Points
Great Driving SUV, Good Handling

General Comments
I bought my Jeep 1999 Grand Cherokee with 30K mi. Now I have 80K mi. I've replaced the differential, front driver side window motor, Front bearings- twice, had the window seals worked on three times, currently have a coolant leak, front end again making noises, front end alignment is always a problem.

Sounds like you have bought a car that you dont know how to maintain.
<br>Every car breaks down when the driver doesnt maintain it or trashes it when driving. How come my 99 Grand Cherokee never has any problems whatsoever?

Agreed !! I guess I fluked out and got a winner. I also agree - after reading all these reviews -too many folks have problems with this model. I do meticulously look after it and do not drive it to work and back -just on weekends and offroading. Unless Daimler (re) starts to use quality parts again for the cherokee series i will not be buying another one either.

I spoke with my Jeep dealer, they said the 99's are notorious for having differential problems. They also said that its merely the cost of ownership and I should expect to replace both the front and rear differential every 30K miles.
<br>
<br>I also spoke with a specialist and they indicated the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the number 1 vehicle that has issues with differentials.
<br>
<br>I had a 93 Grand Cherokee and had no problems. So, its just this model.
<br>
<br>In fairness to the car, all continuous 4wd vehicles are destined to have differential problems, just not all as frequently as the Jeep.
