Great Jeep for a young driver or anyone who is good with a wrench.  It is a 2001 Grand Cherokee and it does need some work done. Tires are pretty new less than 5,000 miles on them and I just replaced the front brakes (less and 100 miles ago). There are still brackets on the front to attach a brush guard which I had but I have taken off.  There is no muffler (straight pipe instead) but there IS a catalytic converter and I has never had an issue passing emission tests in Indiana.  It needs a new radiator and new air conditioning condenser, an easy fix if you know what you are doing. I recently had the A/C recharged and the shop put dye in the system so you can see where the issue is for the A/C.  Also the front passenger window does not work, I believe it needs a new window regulator but I have not had it checked by a professional.  The horn does not work either, it may just need a new fuse. The center backlight on the dash is burned out and does not fully illuminate the speedometer. The driver side door stop does not work and door must be held open, closes and works perfectly though. Drivers heated seat does not work, passenger seat does. Steering wheel leather has deteriorated over time and I have cut most off and I use a neoprene wheel cover that will stay with the vehicle. These are the issues I know off the top of my head but it is a 12 year old vehicle.


As expected with a 12 year old vehicle there are some dings and scratches, none are large.  Scratch on the driver side front corner panel, rear driver side bumper, and a few wear and tear areas.  There is a ding above the license plate on the rear hatch.  Also I was rear ended in 2006 and I never repaired the slight damage.  The electrical plug in for trailers still works perfectly.  There is also some surface rust below the driver side doors and on the spare tire well in the rear. I have not looked under the vehicle but at my last oil change they did not say anything about excessive rust.

Jeep team takes a field trip to Wagonmaster; researching next Grand Wagoneer?

Fri, 01 Feb 2013


They have the very best intentions of rolling out a seven-passenger vehicle.
Wagonmaster has made a name for itself restoring and selling factory-perfect Jeep Grand Wagoneer models, bridging the gap between when the last production machine rolled off the line in 1991 and present day. The company's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The entire Jeep product planning team took a little field trip to the company's facility in Kerrville, Texas back in December, and they weren't just there to take in the sights. According to owner Leon Miller's son, Chip Miller, the Jeep team was there to do research for the successor to the Grand Wagoneer throne.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.
