Jeep Cherokee interiors, though premium in design, can show signs of wear and tear faster than expected in Pakistani conditions due to heat, dust, and humidity. Common issues include:

Dashboard Cracking o r Fading: Especially in older models like the XJ o r early KL, dashboards often crack due to prolonged sun exposure.

Peeling Leather o r Fabric Seats: Leather seats tend to fade, crack, o r peel in hot weather, especially without UV protection o r proper conditioning.

Sagging Roof Liners: Common in humid areas such as Karachi o r coastal cities, due to glue failure.

Loose Interior Trim: Side panels, central consoles, o r glove compartments sometimes rattle o r come loose on rough roads.

Worn-out Steering and Gear Knobs: Materials degrade quickly without regular care.

Regular cleaning, use of sunshades, and conditioning sprays can reduce damage, but many owners resort to reupholstery o r aftermarket interior fixes due to the unavailability of original parts.
