Fell in love with this jeep!! A great buy!! I'm currently on my second one. First I had a 2007 and as of now I own a 2012 and it's been awesome! In my opinion it has great handling and haven't had any major issues!!! 👍 Overall experience A+!
Good lord you talk a lot without actually saying anything. So many words... So little content. Painful. Was there a point in there somewhere? If so, I didn't last long enough to get to it.
I have a grand Cherokee limited 2015 and just hit 100,000 miles or 160,000km and no problems so far and I love it. edit: its now 118,000 miles or 190,000 km
I cringe at people that review things they don't understand. That 5 speed was dropped in 2014 for an 8 speed. The steering? It's not a sports car, it's a Jeep. Recalls? The early models (2011 and 2012) sure, but it's 2016 and most of the kinks have been worked out. Finally, this review contradicts itself many may times. P. S. I love mine.
Thank you for your comment and I have mentioned that this vehicle is prior to the facelifted model with the new tranny. As far as the steering it is more of a handling characteristic of the car at extreme cornering. there are many vids about this, and the handling gets kind of unpredictable wish sharp cornering. I was comparing it to some of the other cars I have on my lot. But all good points thanks!
Most of the kinks worked out? By Chrystler???? The company of kinks and fuck ups! They've been fucking up JEEPS ever since they took it form the AMC. The best engine ever, the inline 6, they managed to fuck up starting in 1999. Then stopped making the engine all together. 1998 Jeep is the newest I would ever buy. Anything after that is crap.
@@yasaringo4492I just purchased a 2014 Grand Cherokee w/167miles from an auto auction. Are you a DYI’er. If so, what’s your experience with the drive train, electric power steering and overall?
I had a 1995 limited inline 6 that had 260,000 before I sold it to a police officer 👮♀️ --- My 2012 v6 is still going strong with a smooth transmission, no leaks on the garage floor, I still haven’t change the original battery. I changed original brakes at 145,000 l love my Jeep.
I'm on my 3rd Jeep and my current 2015 Grand Cherokee Blackhawk is fantastic. It tows my boat and caravan with ease, blasting past Landcruisers and Nissan Patrols. I'll definitely be replacing it when the time comes with the current WL Grand Cherokee.
I have a Overland 3.6 and I have to said is a very good suv.Very comfort and smooth.The only problem with Jeep or any american car is the value drop in the first year $15,000-$20,000.My loan was 49,000 and the next year with just 13,500 miles the value of my jeep is $32,000.That sucks,but the car is very good,any problem with just 16,000 miles now.This guy have the cheap model,Overland or Summit is another level,everything change.Feel better than Mercedes.Again my only complaint is the value drop down fast.
STFU we have had our 2010 jeep grand Cherokee for almost 8 years and we have putt almost 300,000 miles on it and it still runs perfectly everyone should have a grand Cherokee in my opinion
2011Grand Cherokee - 187,xxx miles bought in 2014 with 44,xxx miles. Drove it coast to coast, border to border with only routine maintenance. BUT since January of 2023 it has developed ALL of the evils the 3.6L engine and cooling system. All cam followers replaced and one cam shaft, radiator, radiator fan, TWO thermostats and the water pump are the most recent. Both front half shafts from CV joint failure. Both motor mounts, Right front brake welded to the spindle, right rear brake and parking brake, oil cooler/filter housing. Front and rear end fascia repaired/repainted from accidents. hood strut, and rear hatch struts. keeping it because new ones cost too much and interest rates SUCK.
So sorry to hear about your issues! My 2013 Grand Cherokee overland has been great to us for the last 10 years and about to hit 80k miles! Rlly nice car and very nice interior build too, only problem with it has been the air suspension you get on the overland trim, it was a $40 part that needed to be replaced and that’s rlly it! Hopefully it will last us a while longer
I agree awesome beach vehicle!!! And I love my 2012, no major issues either. As well as the 2007 I had. There's just something amazing about a Jeep! Lol
I’m on my 3rd grand Cherokee (wk and wk2), and I think it’s my last one. 😢 I loved them, but I can’t afford to keep fixing things that shouldn’t be breaking yet.
I Bought Our first jeep with 290.000 on the odometer. 04 Grand Cherokee limited with 4.7... .I paid 2500 bucks .....We Absolutely Love the Damn thing!! I am a Mechanic I hate Mopar! This Vehicle Has exceeded every expectation I ever had for a vehicle... I wish I would have known years ago!! Nuff said
Sorry dude but you are full of it. I have owned a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and have had nothing go wrong with it. It is the 3.0 diesel and has over 230 thousand K's on the clock. In this time 70% of the time she is towing a caravan around Australia. I have kept up the servicing and can prove it plus since passing 150K's I have serviced it every 5K's instead of the factory service schedules. I feel most of youtube videos stating these are crap comes from people that do not like servicing and maintaining it.
I have this exact year & model, bought new in 12' and now have 151,000 on it. It still behaves like new. I've had to fix the blend door and the starter went at 10 yrs old...both fixes were $900
My 2011 JGC 3.6 4X4 have 232k Miles still going strong but now I need a Transfer Case but other than that it's a good truck. My next vehicle I will try to purchase soon is a 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma.
Dude nice video, man I'm on my second Mercedes. I would never buy a Mercedes again. You had so many recalls on the Jeep...I had 5 recalls on my 2017 GLC 300. By now I would go get a Kia it might be more reasonable thwn the Benz.
When you say you don't like American cars you're automatically biased in your review. The vast majority of recalls are because manufacturers have to meet stringent safety regulations not because there is actually something wrong with your vehicle. Personally I'm happy these manufacturers are looking out for me long after the purchase.
I am a mechanic for over thirty years. We deal with recalls but on the Toyota side. Your comment that most recalls are from stringent safety regulations is absolutely FALSE!! Which recall do you want to discuss? Maybe the Ford trucks catching on fire due to the ignition? How about Chevy trucks and the bolts fell out of the steering at around 5,000 miles because the bolts were so lose? How many people were killed because of that? How about massive transmission failure that plagues Chrysler like the Truck and Grand Cherokee? How about problems with fire because of their wiring? How abut the fact that Grand Cherokees had a huge problem with roll overs until Chrysler FINALLY stepped up and addressed it? How about the fact that Chrysler is KNOWN for producing junk? Now they even produce other peoples junk!! Chrysler went so far down it was purchased by Fiat!!!! How BAD do your cars have to be when your purchased by Fiat?? It's not rare at all for a Fiat motor to go out at 13,000 miles!! The Jeep Renegade has NOTHING to do with Jeep!! It has a Fiat motor, Fiat transmission, Fiat chassis! It's Fiat bumper to bumper! ShHOCKER…………...the Jeep Renegade is a piece of junk! A lot of people don't know that they are being tricked into buying a Fiat!! What the problems they are having with crash tests?? Why is it Toyota ABSOLUTELY kills Jeep in sales? When it comes to gas mileage Jeep is at the bottom. We have had FAR too many Jeep products in our shop for ANYONE to try and bullshit me into believing they are great and reliable cars!!! Your going to have to sell that shit somewhere else!!
When you buy garbage you get garbage (chrissler products,MB, BMW, Audi, land Rover,Ferrari,alpha Romeo, Maserati,Fiat, Jaguar) all of them are great at making disposable trash with wheels. All those companies should pay Toyota to teach them how to make cars.
Avi, you need to put bigger wheels and sportier tires if you want to drive it like that. FYI, though you are correct that it uses the ML chassis, it was designed and built under Fiat's ownership (Fiat partially bought Chrysler, which included Jeep, in 2009), not Mercedes.
This generation of grand cherokee wk2 on a solid frame, the new wl is no longer available, the dealer in Australia sent me with regards to the welded frame in wk2: Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven grand cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling. very durable strong suv grand cherokee and relieble
I agree 100 % with you. I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and have the same fealings.... for the price, suspension and 4x4 maners yes... but I do prefeer my BMW X1 for the road... It is a mixed feeling withese Grand Cherokees. I do like how it looks !! compared with the riduculus Cherokees !!! jaja.. Thank you for your time.... I agree with you.... From Bogota, Colombia....
Idk why there is so many dislikes on this video but its not because of your personality. I think you're super chill and the video was very informative. keep up the good work and don't let the haters bring you down
Yes and a few of the second year also so thats 2011/2012 but its not all the common honestly and if you’re purchasing those years at this point the work has already been done and the engine and transmission will be bulletproof.
I like the video! You explained everything in a timely manner and they seem like well-founded complaints. I have no idea why so many people dislike this video.
I have a wunderfull Chrysler 300c 3.0 CRD Touring and am considering trading it in for the Cherokee 3.0 Diesel....After this informative good video I will think twice about whether to do it. Thanks! Nice and honest explanation!
@@JDuna Nope, its at 104k right now and I got a k&n air intake for it, new rims n Buffy tires had it since 2012. I've only had a minor gas leak and it went away no cost at all. I also drive it everyday on dusty and rocky back roads.
2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 v8 240,000 miles brakes tires oil changes still runs like a top all electrical works .. So what’s the problem I’ve had Zero issues
I have seen people talk about fuel economy on the Jeep that it is good. I had a 2019 rental, with all the bells and whistles. The tank is 100 litres. I expected better fuel economy. I did highway driving for 2 days, and city driving for 3 days. Jeeps are not cheap. They cost as much or even more that $80,000
I was curious about some of the earlier comments so I spent some time researching Jeep Cherokee. What I found was not good. Since Fiat got Chrysler they have been having reliability issues. WK2 Grand Cherokee has some big problems. According to consumer reports the Cherokee has an extremely poor reliability rating According to their studies. Even some Fiat Chrysler tech. will admit almost all of the cars that come in for repairs are Cherokees. The most common problem for them are their transmissions. Jerking, slipping and over all poor performance are especially common in the 2015 models. The cost to repair it is around $7,500.00 The complaints there have died down a lot now in the new ones. There is a rather long list of other issues with the WK Cherokee that is too long to list like electrical issues, suspension issues, gasket problems. The KL has it's issues as well. It also has transmission issues which seem to be mostly software issues. People in the forums complain a lot about this model Cherokee complaining about taking it to the shop A LOT! Consumer Reports said many owners suggest getting an extended warranty as they REALLY needed it. The JK Wrangler seems to have an average reliability rating. Once lifted suspension and drive line components seem to wear out faster. These owners recommend buying an extended warranty for this vehicle as well. If you l0ook at J.D. Power and Associates the 2013 Wrangler has an overall dependability rating of 2 out of five and the Cherokee has a dependability rating of 3 out of 5. They are both pretty far down the list of reliable vehicles. Looking at their study, Jeep Dodge, Ram and Chrysler all are in the top ten of least reliable vehicles in the United States. So from everything I read from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power and Associates your video sounds about right. Some people buy something and will never be honest about it for some reason. I just spent a few hours reading over some reports and reviews and got all the information I needed pretty quick. I also looked up their recall history. They have issues with recalls more than other brands such as Ford, Chevy and Toyota. I also found more serious recalls with Fiat, Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler. Especially with Fiat. WOW! Those things are JUNK!! It rated Fiat as one of the worst resale values of any car you can buy. One models shows to lose 73% of its value in the first five years.
I never had any issue with my grand cherokee laredo sport utility 2012.... Of course if you buy car outside on the street you don't now their historial
2012 with 55k miles just having transmission fluid leak something, same jeep as u got here. Jeep dealer est is $1800 . But it does drive sooo smooth, had a sick 2019 Fiesta ST COBBed OUT! N road it 45 min each wway, then used this jeep, WOW jeep is heavy n heavy makes it smooth. Iim posting this in mid 2021. Low miles on the jeep
Once Renault took over it was all about cheaper ways to build their cars to increase profit margin. The president of Renault gave his big beginning of the year speech and said the goal for 2019 was not to sell more cars but to increase profit margin. That tells you a lot! ha The Cherokee has a lot of transmission issues over the years. If you go back and pull up the recall list on them the transmission just continues to pop up. They have a number of recalls for electrical issues for the last 13 years. Our Cherokee was on it's 13th recall when we parked it and bought a Toyota. The latest recalls involve the cruise control rapidly speeding up and will not shut off. for the 2017 model there have been 7 cruise control issues reported alone. problems with it speeding up showed up on models with as little as 9,000 miles on them. The issue continues to be reported and recalled for the 2019 model. They also recalled the Jeep Cherokee for roll away risks. This issue was made famous when actor Anton Yelchin was killed when his Cherokee began to roll and pinned him against a wall.
Lol. Mercedes owning Chrysler 😂. Nope. They were conglomerated 1998 to 2014. And someone isn’t familiar with the 54RFE Chrysler Transmission. That thing it tuned for off-road and has 2 planetary acceleration gears, so in traffic when pressing the accelerator, it uses the acceleration gears. And a 2011 should be avoided if possible. First year model, new engine, new 4x4, new suspension, new tuning. Get a 2012+ or before 2010. And steering once more, it’s made for off-road. Trying to turn a 5000lb vehicle with limited traction isn’t easy. He’s a Subraru person, so find a different video guys.
My wife has a 2018 grand Cherokee 4 years old now somehow water leaked into the radio screen, had to replace to engine mount. Has a starting issue with the button that my mechanic and the dealer could not figure out and is currently in the shop to have the master cylinder replaced all at only 60k I’m not very happy with it
they have a new 8 speed transmission and a new engine now. this is a great used car review tho if your buing a 5 year old jeep. cant compare this to a 2016-2017 model.
I agree with you, I have an 8 speed 2015 and I have not noticed the same problem however I have only driven it a couple of times. However I do not like the gear selector it is a bit strange to use.
Shiftaholics yea the 2015 model have a recall on all of them or that weird shifter. You contact jeep and they will change it free of charge they have too. Might even give you a loaner. But they must change it.
Rated 23 out of 29 automakers by consumer reports. The only thing with a lower rating is fiat, Chrysler and worst rated 29 is dodge ram. This is the reason American cars have such a bad reputation.

How abut the fact that Grand Cherokees had a huge problem with roll overs until Chrysler FINALLY stepped up and addressed it? How about the fact that Chrysler is KNOWN for producing junk? Now they even produce other peoples junk!! Chrysler went so far down it was purchased by Fiat!!!! How BAD do your cars have to be when your purchased by Fiat?? It's not rare at all for a Fiat motor to go out at 13,000 miles!! The Jeep Renegade has NOTHING to do with Jeep!! It has a Fiat motor, Fiat transmission, Fiat chassis! It's Fiat bumper to bumper! ShHOCKER…………...the Jeep Renegade is a piece of junk! A lot of people don't know that they are being tricked into buying a Fiat!! What the problems they are having with crash tests?? Why is it Toyota ABSOLUTELY kills Jeep in sales? When it comes to gas mileage Jeep is at the bottom. We have had FAR too many Jeep products in our shop for ANYONE to try and bullshit me into believing they are great and reliable cars!!! Your going to have to sell that shit somewhere else!!
When you buy garbage you get garbage (chrissler products,MB, BMW, Audi, land Rover,Ferrari,alpha Romeo, Maserati,Fiat, Jaguar) all of them are great at making disposable trash with wheels. All those companies should pay Toyota to teach them how to make cars.
Forget Toyota!
Avi, you need to put bigger wheels and sportier tires if you want to drive it like that. FYI, though you are correct that it uses the ML chassis, it was designed and built under Fiat's ownership (Fiat partially bought Chrysler, which included Jeep, in 2009), not Mercedes.
This generation of grand cherokee wk2 on a solid frame, the new wl is no longer available, the dealer in Australia sent me with regards to the welded frame in wk2:
Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame
They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven grand cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling.
very durable strong suv grand cherokee and relieble
Good to know John Travolta does regular commercials..... Like the bald head John
😆
I hear your pain as I have the same issues with my jeep...
I must be doing something wrong absolutely nothing wrong with mine 5.7 Hemi limited
Its because you have the 5.7. Its the new 3.6 that has many issues .
I agree 100 % with you. I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and have the same fealings.... for the price, suspension and 4x4 maners yes... but I do prefeer my BMW X1 for the road... It is a mixed feeling withese Grand Cherokees. I do like how it looks !! compared with the riduculus Cherokees !!! jaja.. Thank you for your time.... I agree with you.... From Bogota, Colombia....
Idk why there is so many dislikes on this video but its not because of your personality. I think you're super chill and the video was very informative. keep up the good work and don't let the haters bring you down
Many thanks!
Because most of the video is words like, ummm, uhhhhh, derrr, and, uuummm , uhhh
I had a 99, wit 260k. Still running when i offed it..
Stay Away sums this up. Jeez, Nearly asleep within 2 minutes.
Grand Cherokee, one of the most reliable vehicles you can own
not mine lol
Engine recall makes sense, that's the first year for the new engine correct?
Yes and a few of the second year also so thats 2011/2012 but its not all the common honestly and if you’re purchasing those years at this point the work has already been done and the engine and transmission will be bulletproof.
I hear lots of people saying "dont buy a Jeep". But no one ever says why.. Specifics people..
I like the video! You explained everything in a timely manner and they seem like well-founded complaints. I have no idea why so many people dislike this video.
I have a wunderfull Chrysler 300c 3.0 CRD Touring and am considering trading it in for the Cherokee 3.0 Diesel....After this informative good video I will think twice about whether to do it. Thanks! Nice and honest explanation!
I still got my 2012 jeep grand cherokee n it has never had problems it just got to 100k
Any problems lately since you posted this? I’m Planning on getting a 2012 grand Cherokee in a couple months..
@@JDuna Nope, its at 104k right now and I got a k&n air intake for it, new rims n Buffy tires had it since 2012. I've only had a minor gas leak and it went away no cost at all. I also drive it everyday on dusty and rocky back roads.
@@mossyminecraft7959 what engine spec is your suv and is it 4x4?
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 yup, 2012 4x4 3.6l laredo
In my experience the major problems on this jeeps are the suspension control arm bushings bad quality! Also the leather
Remember all the time!
If a JEEP can't get a place, no vehicle in the world can get there!
2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 v8 240,000 miles brakes tires oil changes still runs like a top all electrical works .. So what’s the problem I’ve had Zero issues
I have seen people talk about fuel economy on the Jeep that it is good. I had a 2019 rental, with all the bells and whistles. The tank is 100 litres. I expected better fuel economy. I did highway driving for 2 days, and city driving for 3 days. Jeeps are not cheap. They cost as much or even more that $80,000
I’ve owned 3 Jeep grand Cherokee and would buy another if need be.
I was curious about some of the earlier comments so I spent some time researching Jeep Cherokee. What I found was not good. Since Fiat got Chrysler they have been having reliability issues. WK2 Grand Cherokee has some big problems. According to consumer reports the Cherokee has an extremely poor reliability rating According to their studies. Even some Fiat Chrysler tech. will admit almost all of the cars that come in for repairs are Cherokees. The most common problem for them are their transmissions. Jerking, slipping and over all poor performance are especially common in the 2015 models. The cost to repair it is around $7,500.00 The complaints there have died down a lot now in the new ones. There is a rather long list of other issues with the WK Cherokee that is too long to list like electrical issues, suspension issues, gasket problems. The KL has it's issues as well. It also has transmission issues which seem to be mostly software issues. People in the forums complain a lot about this model Cherokee complaining about taking it to the shop A LOT! Consumer Reports said many owners suggest getting an extended warranty as they REALLY needed it. The JK Wrangler seems to have an average reliability rating. Once lifted suspension and drive line components seem to wear out faster. These owners recommend buying an extended warranty for this vehicle as well. If you l0ook at J.D. Power and Associates the 2013 Wrangler has an overall dependability rating of 2 out of five and the Cherokee has a dependability rating of 3 out of 5. They are both pretty far down the list of reliable vehicles. Looking at their study, Jeep Dodge, Ram and Chrysler all are in the top ten of least reliable vehicles in the United States. So from everything I read from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power and Associates your video sounds about right. Some people buy something and will never be honest about it for some reason. I just spent a few hours reading over some reports and reviews and got all the information I needed pretty quick. I also looked up their recall history. They have issues with recalls more than other brands such as Ford, Chevy and Toyota. I also found more serious recalls with Fiat, Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler. Especially with Fiat. WOW! Those things are JUNK!! It rated Fiat as one of the worst resale values of any car you can buy. One models shows to lose 73% of its value in the first five years.
My air ride suspension is a mess. I can’t get a new ASCM because of chip shortages, and it’s a nightmare to drive.
I’ve got my eyes on a 2011 with a 5.7, they want 8500 for it but it has 180,000 miles on it?…
Cherokees are not even in the same class as Grand Cherokees. Two different vehicles. One is subpar to begin with, the other is a higher level vehicle.
The early 2000s Grand Cherokees were much better
I drive my fifth grand Cherokee, and I will buy it again.
I never had any issue with my grand cherokee laredo sport utility 2012....
Of course if you buy car outside on the street you don't now their historial
Hmm I bought mine in 2011 with 195 miles on it now at 114,000 and I never had issues with it.. just your typical maintenance that’s all
Is your Jeep still running good?
Sandra Carter haha I forgot about this comment I made 9 months ago... but yeah now at 123820 miles and still going strong
@@daviddaupert4685 3.6?
2012 with 55k miles just having transmission fluid leak something, same jeep as u got here. Jeep dealer est is $1800 .
But it does drive sooo smooth, had a sick 2019 Fiesta ST COBBed OUT! N road it 45 min each wway, then used this jeep, WOW jeep is heavy n heavy makes it smooth. Iim posting this in mid 2021. Low miles on the jeep
honest review. thank you.
I went to sleep after 6 minutes...
Once Renault took over it was all about cheaper ways to build their cars to increase profit margin. The president of Renault gave his big beginning of the year speech and said the goal for 2019 was not to sell more cars but to increase profit margin. That tells you a lot! ha The Cherokee has a lot of transmission issues over the years. If you go back and pull up the recall list on them the transmission just continues to pop up. They have a number of recalls for electrical issues for the last 13 years. Our Cherokee was on it's 13th recall when we parked it and bought a Toyota. The latest recalls involve the cruise control rapidly speeding up and will not shut off. for the 2017 model there have been 7 cruise control issues reported alone. problems with it speeding up showed up on models with as little as 9,000 miles on them. The issue continues to be reported and recalled for the 2019 model. They also recalled the Jeep Cherokee for roll away risks. This issue was made famous when actor Anton Yelchin was killed when his Cherokee began to roll and pinned him against a wall.
2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 90k miles, changed the tires, regular maintenance other than that no problems
Maybe i'm lucky?
Best looking Suv imo
Stop lying to yourself mate you're driving a Shitbox Google them they're the biggest lemons in the world and dangerous and lethal and kill people
Lol. Mercedes owning Chrysler 😂. Nope. They were conglomerated 1998 to 2014. And someone isn’t familiar with the 54RFE Chrysler Transmission. That thing it tuned for off-road and has 2 planetary acceleration gears, so in traffic when pressing the accelerator, it uses the acceleration gears. And a 2011 should be avoided if possible. First year model, new engine, new 4x4, new suspension, new tuning. Get a 2012+ or before 2010. And steering once more, it’s made for off-road. Trying to turn a 5000lb vehicle with limited traction isn’t easy. He’s a Subraru person, so find a different video guys.
My wife has a 2018 grand Cherokee 4 years old now somehow water leaked into the radio screen, had to replace to engine mount. Has a starting issue with the button that my mechanic and the dealer could not figure out and is currently in the shop to have the master cylinder replaced all at only 60k I’m not very happy with it
they have a new 8 speed transmission and a new engine now. this is a great used car review tho if your buing a 5 year old jeep. cant compare this to a 2016-2017 model.
I agree with you, I have an 8 speed 2015 and I have not noticed the same problem however I have only driven it a couple of times. However I do not like the gear selector it is a bit strange to use.
Shiftaholics yea the 2015 model have a recall on all of them or that weird shifter. You contact jeep and they will change it free of charge they have too. Might even give you a loaner. But they must change it.
Mine works fine
have the 2011 very happy, only minor issues
i think the dealer is screwing you for the insurance..
John Doe is a 2011 with 100,000 miles on it for $11,000 good
I got that same jeep black
I'll never buy an American car again especially Chrysler or jeep
Every vehicle has their issues. Its mechanical and stuff breaks or wears down.
Rated 23 out of 29 automakers by consumer reports. The only thing with a lower rating is fiat, Chrysler and worst rated 29 is dodge ram. This is the reason American cars have such a bad reputation.
