    1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ repair costs and Maintanence questions

    Thanks for input. Jeep is at the mechanics. Waiting to find out what needs to be done after he inspects it. I know it needs brakes ASAP. There is a leak in the cracked windshield or the door seals. The driver side floorboard is wet. This may be due to the torrential rain we had recently.
