My wife has a 2000 Grand Cherokee with 34K miles on it. Never again.
The brakes suck unless you buy aftermarket rotors.
The transmission sucks.
The weather seals around the doors keep separating from the body even though they were resealed and glued. This allows a lot of wind noise, then in the winter, moisture gets in and the inside of the windshield frosts over when parked overnight.
The gas mileage sucks (hers is the 4.0L six cylinder), but she doesn't put a lot of miles on it, so we overlook that issue.
I think the suspension is too "rolley" they should have used stiffer shocks.
Resale value sucks too. They don't want to give us much of anything even with such low mileage.
This was our second GC. First was a '97 (overall better vehicle) but that was totalled in an accident.
There are some nice features. It's very comfortable to drive. 4WD works very well. Very roomy.
Would I ever buy another? Absolutely not. Too many negatives for me.
