Now that the Cherokee is discontinued
Will I have problems getting it serviced? I have a '97 XJ 4x4
Will parts be hard to get?
I like it and would like to keep it for another 4 or 5 years but want to
make sure it can be serviced?
Please give me your thoughts?
can you point me to any websites that talk about this?
thanks,
Deparko

Re: Now that the Cherokee is discontinued
I believe that there is a federal law (or regulation, or something) that
says a manufacturer must support a vehicle for a specified time after
discontinuation. I seem to remember 10 years.
maybe Bill has a link.......

Re: Now that the Cherokee is discontinued
I wouldn't worry about the Cherokee at all. This was a very popular
vehicle with many many units sold. Federal law or not, people will be
supporting it for a long time.

It's still current production in China.

Re: Now that the Cherokee is discontinued
But parts prices I bet will go up. I remember back when I had a '90 Mustang
GT. A fog light on that thing would occassionally get taken out by a stone
tossed up in front of me. First two or three times or so it broke, the car
was still in production and I remember the price for the light assembly was
always $60-something. Then, the 'new' Mustang came out in, i forget, '94?
Not soon after it came out, I lost yet another fog light in my '90. Went to
the dealer to pick up a new one and found out the price had was suddenly
doubled to a $120. Same thing happened with a windshield wiper motor.
Replaced it once for a relatively cheap price (a rebuilt unit, btw). A year
later the replacement went bad (doh! i hate rebuilds!) and so I had to get
yet another replacement. Price was over 50% higher. Both motor
replacements were from a generic auto parts store and not the dealer.

Re: Now that the Cherokee is discontinued
No. The dealership will continue to service your XJ for about 10 years, give
or take a few. There are millions of those on the road, there will be no
problem getting them fixed.
