Always been a jeep guy. My first Cherokee Sport (1991) had 350000 miles on it and after I was done with it my dad still abused it. I had to change shifting sensor on it after racing stock car in the rockies but that was the only problem I had with it. Only reason it went to the junk yard is because it rusted thru so much that you couldnt even weld anything to it. My second Cherokee Sport (2000) was also great. No major problems but after 6 years of hard use I was told that I will need to put $5000 into it. I sold the car and was looking for a new one. Sad to say Jeep wasn't a choice anymore. All my friends who had them were facing constant problems. I'm not talking about little things but major stuff like blown transmitions etc etc... I went with Nissan. When people said that they dont make them like they used to I wrote it off as nostalgia talk. Not anymore thou. I'm all for buying American (whatever that means today) and keeping jobs here but not when local stuff is crap.
