1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Side door-guard beams were installed, and the base model was renamed SE. Grand Wagoneers were deleted, but the V8 engine was optional on all models--automatic transmission only.
1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee: In 1995, only SE and Limited models were available, plus a Laredo option for the SE. All Grand Cherokees now had all-disc brakes, and the V8 engine gained 15 pound-feet of torque. A flip-up liftgate window joined the option list, and the 5-speed manual transmission was dropped.
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee: A passenger-side airbag was added for 1996, in a redesigned dashboard. Outside, a restyled grille dipped into the front bumper, and optional fog lamps were integrated into that bumper. A new steering wheel contained cruise-control switches and a center horn pad. Front and rear shoulder belts gained height adjustment.
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Given the host of revisions made last year, changes to the 1997 Grand Cherokee were minimal.
1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Jeep added a monster 5.9-liter V8 to a new model named 5.9 Limited. 'The big V8 came only with Quadra-Trac 4WD and an automatic transmission. Jeep's flagship was redesigned for '99.
תקלות נפוצות לפי שנתונים
Air conditioner: If water leaks onto the floor on the passenger side or the air conditions stops cooling, the air conditioning drain hose might be blocked. (1993-96)
Air conditioner: If the air conditioner gradually stops cooling, the computer (PCM) may not be sending a signal to the compressor-clutch relay to cycle off, which causes the A/C evaporator to freeze up. (1993-95)
Automatic transmission: If the transmission will not engage when first started, chances are the torque converter is draining down. A check valve in the fluid line leading to the transmission cooler should remedy the problem. (1993)
Automatic transmission: The transmission won't upshift for about the first quarter mile in cool weather due to defective cast-iron seal rings in the governor drive. (1993-94)
Engine misfire: Rough idle and stalling can be traced to a defective idle-air-control motor. (1993-94)
Fuel pump: If fuel pump may fails, a revised pump assembly should be installed. (1997-98)
Manual transmission: High shift effort on 5-speed manual transmission may be remedied with a replacement shift shaft lever and shift detent plunger. (1999-98)
Oil consumption and engine knock: Oil-pump-gear wear results in bucking and surging when the engine is warm and lack of lubrication when the engine is cold. (1993)
Oil leak: A chronic oil leak at the filter on 5.2-liter engine is likely due to a warped adapter plate. (1995)
Oil leak: The rear main seals on 4.0-liter engines are prone to leakage if the vehicle is operated in dirty conditions. (1993-96)
Transmission leak: Automatic-transmission fluid leaks from the speed sensor in the transmission. (1993-94)
Vehicle shake: If camber alignment cannot be brought into spec, countermeasure offset ball joints are available. (1997-98)

Initial Grand Cherokees came only with a 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, which developed 190 horsepower (185 in '96 and '97). A 220-horsepower V8 went into the Grand Wagoneer, introduced later in the 1993 model year. When that model was dropped in '94, it became optional for all 4WD Grand Cherokee models. Not until '97 did 2WD models get the V8. In 1998, Jeep introduced the limited-edition 5.9 Limited model. It held a 5.9-liter V8 that made 245 horsepower. Depending on model, Grand Cherokees might have any of three 4-wheel-drive systems; or 2-wheel drive, introduced during 1993. Torque output from the V8 grew from 285 to 300 pound-feet in 1995. Command-Trac disappeared after 1995.
