The 97 grand cherokee was liked by thousands of customers across the world, despite the fact that it came with a whole lot of problems and extremely poor gas mileage. The jeep required meticulous attention and those who did not lubricate the vehicle had to bear the consequences. But, even those who kept the vehicle up-to-date, had to encounter minor problems like trouble with dashboard lights, engine starting, and more.

Another issue with the 97 grand cherokee was that debris could slip through the front fender and doors and accumulate at the bottom (even by passing from the corner of the hood).
However, the body design of the 97 grand cherokee was liked by many customers lot better than the current generation body styling. Folks preferred this jeep mainly on account of its smooth driving experience, amazing cargo space and fine interiors.
Fuel Economy
Good fuel economy and high safety were the only two things that one couldn’t expect from any of the grand cherokee models until 2007, when the gas mileage finally improved from 12 to 20 on city streets and about 24 on highway roads. But, these were again the claimed values, and in reality the 2009 Grand Cherokee also barely delivers fuel economy of 18-19mpg on city streets.
