Overview & Reviews
For 2012, the Jeep Grand Cherokee slightly improves its fuel economy and adds a couple of trim levels, including the posh Overland Summit and the return of the hot-rod SRT8 variant.
- High tow rating
- Available V8 power
- Capable off-road prowess
- Outlandish SRT8 model.
- Upscale interior with many available luxury features
- Fussy optional navigation system.
- Somewhat limited cargo space

Give it up Fiat - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Lemon - August 21 - 7:48 amJeeps are no longer the American staple vehicle. Poorly and cheaply made, over priced and do not hold their value. I would NOT recommend blowing your hard earned money on any of them.

great car but one MAJOR problem - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Mark - April 15 - 2:40 pmMy 2012 Grand Cherokee overland has been a very good SUV. Drives well, I like the looks, is comfortable and roomy. My issue with the car is that at about 40K miles the dashboard started to bubble and warp. Though I have an extended warranty, the deal (Rairdon of Kirkland, WA) says that they will not fix. So, Im stuck with a car that looks good from the outside and but is hideous on the inside. I would not buy another luxury car from Jeep, they clearly dont know how to make them and are not willing to stand behind their product.

LOADED LEMON - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By BUD - June 11 - 1:00 pmI have the 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit. It has great options & most work well. The problems have been many recalls; the original tires, which were expensive wore poorly & had several flats. Since 11/12, I have only put 31000 miles. My latest problem started with a antifreeze leak, which was diagnosed as a cracked left head(hemi). Apparently this happens regularly since the heads are on national backorder. This latest fix kept me using a loaner for 5 weeks. The dealership is terrific, but the Jeep isnt. UPDATED 8/2/16 HAS HAD A FEW MORE RECALLS, MILEAGE NOW 37100, PUT NEW MICHELINS ON & THEY DONT WARE OUT AT ALL. NO AMOUNT OF SNOW, ETC. EVEN SLOW DOWN THIS VEHICLE. EXCEPT FOR THE MILEAGE, I LOVE THIS JEEP.

Overland Leather Dash Warped and Blistered - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By jabaseball - December 30 - 8:51 amI bought this car in January of 2012 and by November of that year notice some minor bubbles in leather dash. By mid summer of 2013 it was very noticeable and by early spring of 2014 it was ridiculous. Warps, bubbles, waves in the leather and the plastic inserts. I drive a lot so I was beyond 36K miles by the time I complained though the car has only been in service 26 months or so and mileage has nothing to do with the dashboard disaster. So far the dealer will only respond that it is out of warranty. Other than the dashboard and some minor complaints about paint quality on the non-metallic body parts, the vehicle is excellent.
