1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Solid machine underneath with low-quality face.

As a Jeep from older years, it's a solid performer with straight axles and amazing torque as you'd expect. Due to its age, there are a few mechanical issues that come up, but because it's a Jeep, they're all reliably easy to fix yourself with a little know how. Despite being a great machine, these issues can be common and are usually related to electrical components. The quality control outside of the chassis and engine isn't always the best, but its engineering and design as a classic SUV has had a lasting impact on the market.

Story

My dad happened to be behind the wheel when we took it camping a long time ago in the auburn recreational area. When he decided to park, he wanted to test out just how much torque the engine had. Right in front of the parking spot there was this steep incline. To my moms very vocal dismay, my dad drove the Jeep straight up this steep hill to all of our surprise.

Pros

This machine will perform great off-road. Straight axles and a reliable straight six engine with lots of torque can easily take you anywhere. The cabin has lots of room. The seats are comfortable, and the wide picturesque view from the windows makes it great for those trips you'll go on. This Jeep feels like a solid truck, along with being a vehicle you'll enjoy spending lots of time in.

Cons

The quality control regarding the electrical components has not stood up to age very well. Sometimes it won't register the door as being closed and will beep. The display interface regarding engine issues (low coolant and such) does not read accurately anymore, and it does have issues starting occasionally. Despite all of that, those issues are relatively straightforward to resolve and advanced electronics from those years can't be expected to perform well after all of these years. Other issues are trade offs you would expect from SUVs, such as poor fuel economy. But that trade off makes f... (more)

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Outstanding

I love that my vehicle is very spacious and heavy duty. I love that we can load our bikes and canoes to go out to the lake. I love that we can bring our dog with us to the park and laid the kids back in the back or on the roof. I love that we can take it driving to the beach one day and then drive through a storm in the mountains up Lake Tahoe the next. Some of the things I don't like about the vehicle is that it is a little heavy and can wear on tires. We've had some trouble with the air conditioning and coolant systems in the Texas heat. Other than that no other car transmission troubles.

Story

The family and I went up to Lake Tahoe for a picnic thinking it was going to be a nice cool sunny clear sky day. After about twenty minutes at the park it started to poor rain, then hail then lightning and thunder hit. I had my baby in the stroller, my daughter was walking up from the lake with her dad. So as soon as we saw a ball of hail drop we all started running to the Jeep. My husband had... (more)

Pros

The Jeep is spacious and heavy duty. It can carry large equipment or haul a trailer. It is safe and can withstand various weather climates. We can use it for all kinds of outdoor activities or road trips.

Cons

The air conditioner and coolant systems are defective. We have had to change the tires and breaks various time due to oil and break wear. We have trouble with breaks more often if an alignment is not completed which can cause wear on the tires faster then usual.
