Because they were overbuilt, Jeeps at one time could easily do 700K-1M miles with little more than regular maintenance. Not anymore I'm afraid. Yes, I really miss the old 4.0L I-6. They were damn near bulletproof.

I had a 2015 jeep grand Cherokee bought with 160k miles had it until 270k miles sold it and bout a brand new one.

I say they’re very reliable. Just oil and brake btw for the old one.

[porkfat]

My wife wanted to lease one, it had two serious recalls before the first oil change was due. We dumped it as fast as we could.

I bought a 2006 Jeep Liberty in 2008. Bought a bumper to bumper warranty for $850. After almost $10, 000 in warranty repairs it's not a bad vehicle.

The 97-01 Cherokee with the 4.0 inline 6 was a great vehicle.

I guessed TIPM before watching. I warned my daughter because her hubby drives a JEEP. BTW Scotty you are so right about how crappy MB is. We have a bunch in our fleet. The Sprinters are all going to the dealer for ADBLUE pollution control issues. The head mechanic told me that every bill for repairs on MB SPRINTERS has been $6 000 CAD or more. The biggest bill was an astounding $16 000 CAD for one repair bill. I am SO SO SO GLAD I AM POOR and can only afford Toyota.

Still rocking my 03 Grand Cherokee for off road expeditions through Europe. Hasn't missed a beat...

During our most recent snow the family enjoyed watching a 2021 Cherokee with low side tires sliding sideways down the street.

I’m glad you’re alive and well! God Bless!

I have a 1992 Jeep Comanche. My Jeep has been with me through 5 jobs! I bought it brand new in 1992. It's weathered, (because my Jeep has been more loyal to me than all the freakin jobs I've had). I love my Jeep. When I die, I want to be buried in it.

I bought a Jeep Liberty in 2007. 16 years later and I am still driving it everyday. No major issues at all. The windows fall into the door but was fixed. I’m actually going to give it to my granddaughter for her first car.

The low voltage could indicate a bad ground connection. Battery and charging ok....look at the ground connections to the chassis. I don't have a Jeep but in the Ford factory service manuals, all the chassis ground connections are identified.

[chickenfarm]

I love how Scotty methodically works through the different diagnostic systems in a modern vehicle. But when you take your vehicle to the dealership repair center, they can keep a vehicle for several days, use it, put miles on it, and still never fix it!

[jamesfrady]

"Once you get low battery voltage all kinds of things can happen..." I just replaced my alternator because my truck lights were really dim, then would randomly brighten up and dim again. At the same time the engine would randomly rev up to around 2000 rpm when moving slowly in first gear. The reving was originally thought to be unrelated, but then I checked the battery voltage with the engine idling. The voltage was up and down from 11.9 to 14.1 completely without pattern, and never smoothed out. I figured my alternator voltage regulator was shot so I swapped it out Saturday. The truck loved it. The whole thing smoothed out and ran better with more power and, so far, no reving or random engine speed variations. So yes. I wholeheartedly agree.

[sporty]

I bought a new Jeep once...it didn't go well! Switched to Honda and vehicle problems are
now just a bad memory.

[FleshToDust]

3:20 "These cars are so complex, if they don't have full voltage... They'll do things that you couldn't imagine."
Shows picture of transformers fighting. LOL!

[gweedomurray]

If you can open that up to the circuit board; look for weak or cold solder points. Sometimes a little solder in the right place can fix it. Sounds like an temperature expansion/contraction problem.

A Friend had a Mercedes that was doing crazy things. Battery tested fine voltage at the ECM was fine but when I got to the BCM the voltage was very low. After several minutes of head scratching & curse words, ran a jumper from the battery to the BCM everything worked great. After further inspection the battery cable at a split point was corroded. Replaced the terminals & cable problem solved.

I've got a 02 Wrangler with over 200k and a 98 Cherokee with 350k+. Both 4.0 Inline 6. Both still run great, wouldn't hesitate to jump in either one and do a road trip. One of the best motors ever made in my and many other people's opinions. Love the channel Scotty!
