This is a great running vehicle! We've owned this 2000 Jeep Cherokee since 2008 and it's helped get us through many snowstorms and blizzards here in Iowa. The 4WD works great, A/C runs great, cruise control works! This wonderful hardy Jeep comes with the tow package and was part of a fleet package that was used for the DNR. There is no carpet on the floors so it's rubber floors for easy cleaning if you like to go mudding! We've driven the vehicle almost daily until we got our truck. The Jeep is too small for what we need now and needs to go to a good home. Of course, being almost 15 years old, it does needs some TLC. The tires have about 30% tread but looks like they are getting weather checked. I've driven on these tires the way they are and no problems. The Jeep does have a wobble and we are told it's the track bar so I suggest not driving it until this is fixed the wobble does get bad at times. The track bar is easily $25-40 on the internet and told an easy fix but we don't have a place to fix it right now. The exhaust is loud and will need some work or replaced. And the lock button on the driver's side will sometimes not unlock so then other passengers can't open or close the windows themselves it would have to be done by the driver. Looks are deceiving for sure! As you can see in the photos it does have rust, one spot is completely rusted through on the outside of the back passenger door, it's been an outdoor vehicle for years! The grill is cracked but nothing to be concerned about and the passenger side is dented in from the deer that decided to use it as target practice. The front passenger door is harder to open due to the deer but I still get in it fine. The Jeep has 176,404 miles at the time of the photos and we haven't driven it much since then so it may just have a few more miles on it. This vehicle would make a great work car, school car, or just a winter driver for the harsh winters! Hate to see it go but we don't have the room and upgraded to a 4 door truck and I have been told it's too small for a family vehicle now so it must go! $1500 obo takes it!

Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.

Jeep recalls 228k Cherokees over airbag deployment fears

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Jeep is recalling an estimated 228,181 examples of the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee worldwide because the airbags can inadvertently deploy in some situations. Specifically, the campaign covers 168,092 vehicles in the US, 19,557 in Canada, 4,133 in Mexico and 36,399 outside of North America. According to Jeep, the problem occurs when drivers execute extremely hard handling maneuvers and upset the vehicle's balance, which causes the side-curtain and seat-mounted side airbags to deploy. "The air-bag systems, sensing potential rollovers, automatically activated," according to the automaker's announcement. While this occurred in "a small number" of cases, according to Jeep, the problem caused no reported injuries or accidents. To fix the fault, the company will issue a software update to recalibrate the bags' deployment. Statement: Restraint-System Software Upgrade February 2, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a global recall of an estimated 228,181 SUVs to upgrade software governing side-curtain and seat-mounted side air bags. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers after a small number of inadvertent deployments involving drivers who executed extreme maneuvers. These maneuvers dramatically changed the vehicles' angle of operation, relative to the ground. The air-bag systems, sensing potential rollovers, automatically activated. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The software upgrade will recalibrate the threshold for deployment and the vehicles will remain compliant with all applicable safety regulations. Affected are certain 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. Estimated volumes by market are as follows: 168,092 in the U.S.; 19,557 in Canada; 4,133 in Mexico and 36,399 outside the NAFTA region. The Company will notify affected customers. Software will be available at that time. Customers with additional concerns or questions may call 1-800-853-1403.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning

Fri, 17 May 2013

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
