1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l - Needs Repair - Red on 2040-cars

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo

4x4

Red with 153,156 miles

This vehicle needs repair before it can be driven.

It must be towed from in front of my house.

Please see the picture of the Mechanic’s Invoice. The Idler Pulley came loose, and the bolt for the Idler bent and damaged the Coolant Tube connecting to the Water Pump. The Bracket the bolt attaches to was also damaged, and must be replaced. This is a labor intensive repair, which will require replacement of all of the aforementioned parts, most likely including the Water Pump (The water pump was replaced only 11 months ago (8k miles ago)). No accidents. See AutoCheck Report. Clear Title in hand.

Please read below for information on repairs made over the last year, and things on the Jeep that do not work.

Repairs made over the last year:

Fuel Pump – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago

Ignition Coil – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago

Crank Sensor – 5 months ago,  4+ thousand miles ago

New Radiator – July 2013 (can’t find the receipt with date and mileage)

Track Bar & Steering Stabilizer replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago

Water pump & thermostat replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago

A/C recharge – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago

The battery is 16 months old, and it is an 8 year warranty battery (not transferable)

The following things do not work, or are faults with the vehicle:

The fuel guage does not work.

The electric windows on the passenger side do not work most of the time.

There is a bad ABS speed sensor on the left rear wheel (ABS light on).

The gauge light and chime come on from time to time, while at the same time the oil pressure gauge drops. It is apparently a gauge or instrument cluster problem (google on this to see it’s a common Jeep issue).

The vehicle used to have another common Jeep problem, engine stalling. The problem went away when I removed the PCM cover screws (google Jeep PCM screws). But, I suspect the problem will eventually come back, and more digging on google revealed that the issue is intermittent solder joints inside the PCM cover (so removing screws changed the torque on the cover relieving the issue, for now).

The passenger side carpet used to get wet when running the A/C over time on the highway. It was apparently a plugged drain from the condenser (another common Jeep problem you can google about), so it is believe to be solved.

It has a fault code for an oxygen sensor.

The Airbag light is on sometimes.

The radio does not play loud. It will for a minute until it warms up, but it is apparently folding back on the gain due to heat.

The aftermarket remote keyless entry operates all locks except the driver door. The driver door has to be opened with the key. (I know, that’s so backwards).

The driver door opens and closes OK, but it is rickety.

Rust in spots shown in pictures, but not really any to speak of under doors.

Tires are all OK on tread, but not matched.
