2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Batavia, Illinois, United States

I'm hoping to sell this 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE to a MECHANIC or CAR ENTHUSIAST who is good at fixing cars and appreciates the very low mileage on this OTHERWISE GREAT vehicle. I know that the power steering pump needs to be replaced, and more than likely the hydraulic-operated fan motor that accompanies the pump. I'm a single, divorced mom, or else I WOULD be keeping this vehicle and paying to have it fixed myself. I LOVE my Jeep, but I can't afford to have it fixed. ---The coolant leaks occasionally, too. Thermostat seal was replaced in December 2011. ---Recently received a safety recall notice in the mail from Chrysler (M35/NHTSA 12V-527): The airbag system Occupant Restraint Control may experience a front airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner inadvertent deployment. Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). I haven't had the repairs done myself simply because, again, the car is not drivable at this time. This recall paperwork will be included with the title to the Jeep, and it includes the VIN. ---Malfunction Indicator Light just went on while I've been starting the car in the garage; I'm assuming it's because of the issues with the fan motor, etc. The car hasn't been driven, so I don't know what else would suddenly cause this problem. It's never been in an accident, and it has 93,352 miles on it - great for a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I also added a remote automatic start to it for the cold Chicago winters. My ex and I bought it barely used from the dealership with 27,743 miles on it in December 2004 from Arlington Lexus in Palatine. I believe the original owner smoked inside the car - after a rainy or muggy day when we first bought the car you could detect a hint of cigarette smoke smell, but neither my ex nor I smoke, and no one else has smoked in the Jeep since we've owned it. Because the power-steering does not work, this vehicle is not drivable right now. It has been in my garage, out of the elements, and I last started it on Friday to read its current mileage. It can be backed straight out of the garage. So, a buyer would need access to a tow truck. I am a full-time mom, so I can be available most days for pick-up of the vehicle, title exchange, etc. Serious buyers only, please. I'm being upfront about this vehicle's condition, so I expect an equally honest buyer. Kelley Blue Book Trade in Value of this vehicle at its current mileage with all options ranges from $4201 (trade-in value) to $5731 (sold to private party) at FAIR CONDITION (defined as follows - and I bolded the ones that I think apply; the interior of the car is in excellent condition, and except for a few expected dents, so is the exterior): Fair- 18% of all cars we valueHas some cosmetic defects that require repairing and/or replacing

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]
Tue, 19 Feb 2013When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On 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."
