2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jeep? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Grand Cherokee’s towing capacity.

  • Does my Grand Cherokee's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Jeep Grand Cherokee’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Jeep. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Jeep Grand Cherokee leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Jeep Grand Cherokee can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Grand Cherokee ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
