I'm only selling our hard-to-find two-door stick-shift 1998 XJ Cherokee because we're having a kid and two doors isn't going to cut it with a car seat to wrangle.

This Jeep has everything you need (Command-Trac 4WD, manual transmission, the famous 4.0 liter inline 6 engine) and nothing you don't (extra doors, power equipment that breaks, etc.)

We're the second owners. The Jeep spent its early years in Maryland and then, after we bought it with 94k miles, some time in North Carolina and now Brooklyn, NY. We've maintained it very carefully (oil changes every 3k miles, transmission fluid changes, differential and transfer case fluid changes, lubrication, air filters, spark plugs, cables, distributor cap, brake pads, rotors, shoes, and cylinders, etc.) We've replaced the water pump, the battery, and the tires. It never needs oil between oil changes.

It's rust-free except for a small spot at the bottom of the rear quarter panel on the driver's side that should be easy to take care of (see photo). See the photos of the undercarriage - it's in fantastic shape. This Jeep is all stock - no lift, no aftermarket modifications. We've never taken it off-road. It's never been smoked in. Heat works great and the air conditioning is cold.

While in North Carolina, we were in a minor accident that caused some cosmetic damage on the front passenger side: the plastic grille and fiberglass grille opening panel were broken, the fender panel and plastic bumper were dented, and the headlight and turn signal were broken. The insurance company decided that the cost of the repairs would exceed what they thought the vehicle was worth, but we kept it and repaired it, which means that it has a salvage title. The salvage brand did not transfer when I registered the car in New York, but, just so we're clear: the vehicle has a salvage title. We replaced the grille, grille opening panel, fender panel, and lights. You can see the discoloration in the plastic bumper. There was no damage beyond this (the hood wasn't damaged, for instance) and I'm happy to provide pictures of the damage for you to assess for yourself.

What else? There's a chip in the windshield (see photo). No FM stations on the radio (this could be as simple as a bad connection to the antenna, I haven't had time to check), and the rear speakers aren't in great shape. There are some rock chips (which I've touched up) on the front grille opening panel. The carpet in the cargo area has light stains in two spots. The headliner is sagging a bit over the rear seat. The front mats are a bit worn. There will probably be a few more miles on it when you get it, because we're using it (locally) until it sells.

If we weren't having a kid, I'd drive this Jeep forever. But here's your chance to own a classic! If you want to see it in person, just ask. And let me know if you have any questions.

We've also listed the vehicle locally; if it sells we'll end the auction.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Researchers who busted VW cheating say FCA's diesels dirty, too

Tue, Jun 13 2017

The Wall Street Journal today reported on an upcoming report from West Virginia University's Center for Alternative Fuels Engines and Emissions, which is the same lab that investigated Volkswagen emissions cheating. The report, which will be released in a matter of weeks, alleges that 2014 and 2015 model year Jeep and Ram vehicles with diesel engines emit excess pollution. But it does not specify whether the company used defeat devices. Since the report discusses Jeep Grand Cherokees, and that engine is also available in the Ram 1500, it's safe to assume that one of the implicated engines is the EcoDiesel V6, a unit actually produced by VM Motori. It's unclear whether the report covers any of the Cummins engines used in heavier-duty Ram pickups. This report comes on the heels of a federal investigation into FCA's diesel vehicles. That investigation focused on the EcoDiesel engine used in 2014-2016 vehicles. The feds were seeking a fine of up to $4.6 billion. The EPA and the State of California also previously accused FCA of using a defeat device on the same vehicles back in January. FCA, for its part, alleges that the WVU study might have been commissioned by people interested in suing the company, and disputes the testing methodology, according to the WSJ. We've reached out to WVU to confirm which engines are implicated in its study and will update this post when we have more to share. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
