I've had my 2001 JGC for a few years now (bought it used) and the only had a
few problems, but nothing that was a show stopper. I always got home. The
rotors warped and sucked, but I had that fixed by them shaving it down. I
haven't had a problem since. The brakes do squeek at times, but again,
that's gone away. There was a problem once where I was in limp-home mode,
but I drove it around for about a week or two before bringing it in. My
radiator fan went out but changing a chip fixed that. Overall I think this
has been one of the more reliable cars I've had. My benz went to the shop
more than this Jeep.

My overall impression on the truck is very favorable. Provided the seats
suck because it's like sitting on a soft sofa (not good for long periods of
driving) and the brakes were sucky at first, but they're nothing that can't
be fixed. It's definitely a Jeep and it'll get you places and take you home.
Did you look at the newer models?
