Pros:
  • High tow rating
  • Available V8 power
  • Capable off-road prowess

  • I will never buy another Chrysler product again. - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I made the mistake of purchasing a 2012 Jeep Overland in Colorado. This vehicle certainly falls short of that is it the most awarded SUV, as I now think that Chrysler hands out its own awards. With a hemi installed, expect to get an average of 17 miles per gallon city and highway combine. The NAV system is poor at best; I had trouble with it from day one as it would lose memory. I just had the radio replaced with no guarantee from the dealer that this will correct the issue. The one item that bugs me the most is the lack of quality of the exterior chrome, or should I say chrome coated plastic. With only 5000 miles on my truck, and after the very first exposure to the snow treated road

  • Good vehicle if you can deal with the small things - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Plenty of power with the hemi. Good technology package and plenty of charging points for your devices. Squeaks and rattles are common and dealers are atrocious. Fiat please sell off Jeep line to someone who will do it justice.

  • great car but one MAJOR problem - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    My 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

    I 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.
