Bullshit!
I have 15 and 20 year old cherokees that are used off road in severe conditions in land surveying, and neither of them has ever needed more than a water pump or a coolant bottle replaced.
Say something that makes sense for once. Jeep is heavily preferred because they perform and last forever.

I only knew 2 people that had grand cherokees. 1 new and 1 used from a dealer. Both had their transmissions fail. I think one of the failed twice. No offroading either.
Thank you. The main problem with the later (V-8) models is not the trans, per se, but the sensor(s) that tells the control module that the tranny is overheating, (after being parked for 3 hours in mid February?) thus shutting down the whole system. Good mechanically, but design issues with the electronics. This is from talking with disgruntled owners. I personally drive a '92 Metro that's been 100% all this time. Nature is reclaiming the metal parts, though. Chicago winters are hell on lightweight cars.
