    I have owned the jeep 2.5crd ltd since 2004 and have had nothing but trouble with it. since 2004 during the manufactureres warranty period i have had in excess of £18000 worth of work carried out these include new engine, turbo, clutch slave and master cylinder, front prop shaft, new bearings in transfer box and new bearings in rear diff, 2 sets of alloy wheels due to corrosion.

    it is currently 2 years out of the warranty period now and again i have a whining diff. At a cost of £650 the dealership replaced all the bearings again, the noise finally went. after doing just over 1000 miles the whining is back and the dealership in after more money to rectify the problem that they should have cured in the first place.

    after contacting jeep uk after no joy with the dealership dispute, they basically told me that they were sorry to hear about all the trouble encountered with the vehicle but unfortunatley due to the age etc of it they would not pay to have it rectified, and washed there hands of the matter.

    i know i have been very unlucky with this jeep, but its been well looked after and always dealership maintained from new and done very little work only doing 56000 miles the new engine being in at 24000! i dont think the vehicle is fit for purpose and as a designed rugged 4x4 i don't think the cherokee makes the final cut!

    Customer service of jeep dealerships also doesn't quite cut it either and trying to get major parts delivered also takes up to a couple of weeks.

    Wife has used the Jeep Cherokee 2.5 CRD with no problems at all as a family car and loves it. good seating position for tall or short alike, lots of space compared to peer group vehicles. Good MPG. Jeep have a bad press - can be a bit expensive to service through main dealer.

    I bought my Jeep Cherokee 2.5 CRD from Meridien Majestic We Part-ex'd our PT Cruiser and purchased a 3.7 petrol Cherokee. Incredibly nimble on the country roads and more than a match for most cars on a motor way. The Jeep is strong and will gives you a secure and safe feel. While also being very comfortable, the leather heated seats sooth worries away, if you are stressed, take it for a drive, it will make you smile.Now considering its size and weight you will get on average 21mpg in combined an ...

    I bought mine from Meridian Jeep Bournemouth and was amazed at the price I purchased it for. I flew down from Glasgow and was met at the airport by a driver who made the journey from Southampton to Bournemouth a pleasure. I picked up my car and was also given a full tank to get me back home. I have received numerous calls from Meridian to make sure that I am still happy with the car, which I am. I will definitely be buying another jeep in the next 18 months from Meridian.

    I wouldn't normally go for this type of car but after having a test drive, the Jeep Cherokee 2.5 seemed that this was a different driving experience to any other I had before. It feels strong and no nonsense. Sounds like a tank and you can hear the responsive road when you rev it up. The road handling wasn't as sloppy as you'd expect for a larger car. It whips round corners quite nicely and feels really planted on the motorway. The main reason I like it is for the looks. Being younger than the u ...

    I'll start with the fact that my Cherokee 2.5crd LTd has been with the dealer for nearly a month due to some sort of fault causing it not to start.
    No dashboard gauges or anything, just a series of lights terminating in the engine light coming on. The car turns over but the glow plugs will not heat and the engine will not start.
    The car is 3 months outside it's manufacturers warranty, having been fully dealer serviced and only covered 32k miles in it's lifespan.
    The car had to be towed into t ...

    My Jeep Cherokee developed a noise similar to that when a car exhaust is faulty. When taken to the Jeep garage, I was told it was a turbo clip failure. When I got the car back it was worse than ever, and I couldn't get it above 10 mph, with smoke billowing out the exhaust. Thousands of pounds later, the car does go but still smokes burnt oil from the exhaust. Taking into account the current value of the car minus the repair costs, it's worth about £400. Not good for a four year old car, th ...

    This Jeep Cherokee 2.5 CRD 4x4 is the worst car I have ever had to drive along with the worst dealership support and Customer services that can be nothing short of rude and obnoxious. I am counting the days to when I can get rid of this car!
    I had an accident, which was proven to be down to ABS failure at the rear sensors. This came up on the diagnostic check carried out by Jeep.
    The car took 3 months to come out of the workshop which, on reflection, was the best period of ownership for me.
    E ...

    I feel compelled to write and warn your readers about the situation I have found myself in. Even if this is a one off (and I doubt it is), it will make you think twice before buying.....

    Four months ago I had an accident in my 13 month old Jeep Cherokee 2.5 CRD. Someone drove into the back of me, I accept these things happen but perhaps naively, I expected my car to be repaired by now.
    However, I have now been waiting for Daimler Chrysler to supply one particular part to complete the repair ...
