wilsonr1's review of Jeep 1999 Grand Cherokee

“Mine is the Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0 litre (68000...”

★★★★☆

written by wilsonr1 on 10/12/2003

Good Points
Very comfortable, good dealership experience, reliable, excellent off-road, good for going through floods! and feels safe even in appauling driving conditions. Clever windscreen that is light sensitive! (not mentioned in handbook! as is a lot of gadgetry for example the Climate control cools cabin after 2 hours continous driving to freshen driver one presumes)

Bad Points
Niggles rather than bad points. Screen wash container too small, and the front wash runs out before rear wash (pipe layout)! No Auto-up on the electric window. Windscreen gets soaked from the front wheels through large puddles making it impossible to see!
Oh! and the heated seat is expensive to repair!

General Comments
Mine is the Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0 litre (68000 miles) and is a very impressive 4 X 4, both in comfort and smooth road driving refinement. LP Gas conversion has helped with running costs. 17 imperial MPG on Petrol and 15 MPG on Gas but LPG is 36p litre as opposed to 80p. Climate contol is superb and recorded the lowest air-vent temperature at our local top-up agent of 1.1'C.

The Jeep has so far coped admirably with floods, severe frosts, and scorching temperatures without batting an eyelid. I will certainly be testing the newer one when I come to change. (Which, hopefully, will be in many years time)

Larry Gillard's Response to wilsonr1's Review

I have owned 2 grand cherokee's in the last 8 years and averaged 14000 miles per year.I had nothing but trouble from both of them,the chrysler brake pads have a short life span and the brake discs warp very easily. On both of them the automatic gear box was clunky and my chrysler dealer was unable to rectify this fault,I part exchanged my petrol cherokee for the latest diesel and after 3000miles the diesel engine developed a bad knock,by this time I was sick and tired of having to go to my chrysler dealer every 2-3 months and part exchanged it for a Toyota Land Cruiser which is a far better and totally reliable car.My love afair with Jeep's is over and I would advise anyone who owns one to get rid of it before is starts costing you serious money

For some reason - anyone who puts a positive review on this site for the vehicle gets savagely attacked by someone whining and moaning about their problems. The guy likes his jeep -sorry that yours sucks or you ran it into the ground.
