2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ, 4.0L, 4WD, 4 Door, 151k, Automatic with snow tires + summer tires, PA Inspected thru 9/2014.

Runs good and has been reliable for me for the 2+ years I have owned it. Body and frame seem solid, only very minor rust at the bottom of the doors (passes PA inspection). 4WD system works well. It includes two complete sets of wheels and tires. The summer tires/ steel wheels are OK and pass PA inspection. The winter tires shown in the pictures are Firestone Winterforce and are almost like new (less than 2k miles) and are also mounted on their own steel rims. I found that it is un-stopable in the snow with these tires even in 12+ inches of snow.

The Good:

Engine / transmission / drive system is strong and has been reliable. All the fluids were changed with in the last year (engine oil, brake fluid, transfer case, front and rear difs, and antifreeze).

Has new Monroe Air shocks on the back along with a Class III hitch

Has a new muffler

Had a new radiator, water pump, hoses, Hello Fog lamps, and serpentine belt 2 years ago.

The Bad:

Check Engine light comes on for P155 code which is the after Cat oxygen sensor. That sensor only verifies the cat is working for emissions, so the Jeep runs fine. I drove it less than 5K miles a year, so it is emissions exempt.

Some times I get a code for Cylinder #6 misfire but its seems to come and go and only effects it at idle (not a problem under load). I put fuel injection cleaner thru it and it seemed to fix it.

Slight rust at the bottom of the doors, but it does pass PA inspection.

It had AC, but it is long gone. The plumbing and condenser are missing. The AC compressor is still there, but I don't know if it works.

The Ugly:

The body is decent, but has scratches and dings from 150K miles and 13 years. I don't think it has ever been wrecked.

It has two added transmission coolers that I added to deal with towing a 3000 lb boat. It works great but doesn't look the best mounted on front of the radiator.

The interior is mostly OK, but the driver seat is wearing.

Everything works electrically except the front speakers for the radio. The back speakers are Kenwood and sound good.

Local Pickup only, would prefer cash as the time of pick up.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.

Key-swapping thieves steal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT from FL dealer

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.
