Reliability Anxiety with Jeep
Hello,
First time to this group, so thank you for your time and help. I have
a 97 Pathfinder with 190K on it. No problems, but time to get
something new. I am considering the Commander versus getting another
Pathfinder. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get more
testimonials on long life of the Jeep product? All the high mileage
claims always end up on the Japanese side...never hear much about Jeep.
Net, if I am going to spend $35K, I plan on driving it to the ground
like my Pathfinder, and not wondering when the nickel/diming begins.
Thanks!

I picked up my 95 Cherokee last october with just under 300,000 miles
on it. :-o
So far, knock on wood, its been running OK.
I don't know how much of the Commander is new technology, but if it's
inherited anything from its predecessors, it should live a long life!
One thing to consider: Which one has the better 4WD system??
(You *ARE* looking at a JEEP for it's 4WD capabilities, RIGHT?!?)
;-)

Re: Reliability Anxiety with Jeep
Well... I've got a 96 Cherokee with the 4.0 six. Up until about 275,000
miles I put in one water pump and one alternator, no other problems, at
275,000 the throwout bearing started squealing so it was replaced along
with the clutch (which otherwise was working perfectly).
At about 300,000 one of the rod bearings started raising a fuss so I got
a remanufactured engine put in, along with a new water pump and starter,
and I have every intention of driving it another 300,000 miles.
Best car I've ever had... your mileage may vary!
