Known issues on the 2001 Cherokee. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year: a loss of brake fluid that decreases brake line pressure and increases stopping distance, headlights whose decreased lighting visibility can lead to a crash, an exterior lighting fault whose decreased visibility can lead to a crash, and a fuel pump fuel leak that can cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 329 complaints and Jeep has issued 34 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine fluid change to a stubborn no-start or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 Cherokee.
