Versatile, dependable and long lasting. . Meets all my ever changing needs.
My Jeep is awesome. It is been dependable, reliable and versatile. I can up the back seat down and haul furniture, the dog, camping equipment, or just groceries. Have slept in the back in a camping trip that the weather turned windy and cold. Moved twice now in the Jeep and it is been great. It is four-wheel drive has been handy living in the mountains, particularly in the winter months. Never stuck. It is piece of mind to know that you can get where you need to when the weather is terrible. Comfortable interior and has held up very well. Jeeps are awesome.

My vehicle can has a strong engine, can make it t.
The vehicle is great, I love to drive it. There are a few things I do notice and that's that the wheel sometimes can feel really loose, I think it's a great car and works better than the newer models. I do notice premium gas does get you further and the gas actually last longer. Otherwise it goes as soon as you put it in. You don't want to be cheap on this gas. I have went through a variety of terrain and have always felt safe and confident.

I have a real sense of safety in my Jeep. Solid construction, roomy.
My Jeep grand Cherokee has been a sheer joy to own. Have had minimal service work done other than preventative care. My two hounds think the back third is their bedroom. Gasoline mileage is not great, but typical of this size SUV. Would buy another Jeep next time.

It can drive anywhere, on or off road.
I like that my jeep is comfortable to drive. It is easy to fix and find parts for even though it is an older vehicle. I love my jeep because it can drive anywhere, on or off road. There is nothing that I dislike about my jeep!.

Owning a Jeep meaning having the freedom to drive anywhere.
I have been a Jeep owner for many years. The grand Cherokee is by far my favorite. Living in the northeast, winters can get bad, any of my grand Cherokees have never once left me stranded! The grand Cherokee is the perfect vehicle for camping off the grid also! The places a Jeep can take you is endless! Owning a Jeep meaning having the freedom to drive anywhere you desire!

Old but very reliable. I would recommend a jeep to everyone.
It is an older vehicle so all of the problems it is facing comes with age. The engine is wonderful and still runs well. It does need a tune-up for its general health, with spark plugs and cables replaced, as well as filters. I have drove it nearly 10k miles in the past month and it is still running beautifully. I would always recommend a jeep to anyone that wants to know of a good vehicle to get.

The V8 Jeep engines really get going!
This Jeep Grand Cherokee limited is doing pretty well for the age it is. I bought it around 100,000 miles in December of 2016 and now have about 120,000. I've run into some problems under the hood with fuel pump, and a few other minor things but engine always runs very well and just an overall great car!

The vehicle does have 4 wheel drive.
Its' very old, the people who use to own it didn't take good care of it so I am always having to put money into the vehicle now. Seems like everything is falling apart on it. I have seen other ones just like it that drove very nice and look very nice. I think it is just how the people didn't take care of mine. I am sure it is a great vehicle if you take care of it from day one.
accountCircle Ashley L
Apparently relay switches go out often in Jeeps and that one small thing can cause MAJOR issues.
I like that it's an easy vehicle for someone to work on rather than take it to the shop. I don't like how there is barely any room. And I don't like the plastic panel that goes around the bottom of the car, I like the full frame of the newer ones.
accountCircle Shannon F
It has been going strong for 280,000 miles.
I am experiencing many of the common issues. It is sitting right now, waiting for replacement part (crankshaft sensor).
accountCircle Angelo A
It is really good to have in the winter. It has heated seats, cruise control, and many other features.
Good in the snow. Horrible on gas. I wish it was better on gas, it costs too much money to refill the tank.
accountCircle Valerie V
Other people I know who have this particular jeep have the same problems.
My jeep is older. It's a 2000 and is not a four wheel drive. I'm sure it was nice when it was new but now a lot of things are breaking. Electric locks, power windows on driver side. Center console. Exterior rear view mirror on passenger side. Brake lights burn often.
accountCircle maria g
It a long lasting, reliable (more or less) car.
I like that it is roomy. It also has a nice ride and is fairly easy to maneuver. I'm short so I like that It's easy to back into a parking lot. I don't like that it's started to need a lot of repairs.
accountCircle Kathleen S
My truck is old but reliable!!! It works but needs work!!!
It is a used truck that we needed in a pinch. It smells old and really used!!! It gets us from point A to Point B but I would have liked something a little newer!!!!
accountCircle Joseph Y
It does well in the snow and has very good clearance.
When it was younger I enjoyed it a great deal. 4wd on demand came in very handy. It was very useful hauling gear around to CW re-enactments. But it has had its share of issues such as the driver's seat breaking and hard to replace, brake lines rusting out, and a A/C that leaks into the floorboard.

One great jeep
It’s a 2001 grand Cherokee with 167,000 miles. Had issues but it’s. 20 years old. Mostly air conditioner problems but I got that all fixed. And cheap by doing it myself. It’s not all beat up and no rust. Was a problem with computer due to a rat chewing on wires. Seat heater quit due to wires breaking. Fixed that also. Love my keep and will never sell it. 4 By 4 limited with the chrome preium wheels. Also like having the. V- 8 engine. It’s my 5th jeep I’ve owned.
