    I love my new Jeep Grand Cherokee, the comfort of this vehicle is superb and love all the options we can choose from!

  • 2015 Summit luxury - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The car has all the bells and whistles that other vehicles charge lots more money for. Its a great car. If the following were addressed it would be tops! For a vehicle that has a window sticker price of $54,000 the seats are very uncomfortable after about three hours of driving. The steering could be better sport tuned like the competitors vehicles. And finally , the navigation system could be improved to give to options For the route to take and other simple improvements.

  • Outstanding Thus Far! - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I recently purchased a Summit V6 Platinium Edition. I will not bore you all with a regurgitation of all of the positive reviews. But thus far, Ive nothing but very positive remarks concerning this truck. I am a long time BMW/Range Rover/Mercedes/Porsche owner/fan and believe me when I say that I am pleasantly surprised as the GC Summit has all of the amenities pound for pound of a much more expensive vehicle! Im deeply impressed with the transmission, infotainment system, 825 HK sound system, ergonomics, etc! I paid 47K and trust me there is not a better ride per the price point! Below, Ive listed my hits/misses. Pls note I test drove the RR Sport, BMW X6, Mercedes ML, Audi Q5/7 , and the Porsche Cayenne. All are fine vehicles in their own class but I chose the Summit based off of the criterion listed below coupled with the ability to take it off road. The RR Sport came in a close second but I was highly annoyed to find that it (as well as many other vehicles) utilize a sound resonator to give the vehicle a "acceleration growl". Maintenance was also a huge issue. Hands down, the BMW has the best warranty but initial cost of a similarly equipped vehicle would run over 70K. I also drove the GC SRT, V8, and V6. The SRT is a hug miss and although very aggressive, it seemed to be very clumsy. The V8 is outstanding but poor gas mileage was a deterrent. I chose the V6 as although it is short 30 HP less than the V8, it is peppy, uses regular gas, and gets over 26 MPG on the HWY. The vehicle lofts a bit (typical truck/SUV) when driving but I did not purchase for a sporty ride. I wanted a tough truck that I could utilize as a daily driver as well as take off road for the occasional camping trip. This vehicle has yet to disappoint thus far, Im hoping the trend continues. Great Job Jeep! Hits: Air suspension, off road prowess/toughness, good looks, 825 watt sound system, ergonomics/display, usb/power ports galore, large heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, warning/safety features, heated/cooled seats, panoramic roof, voice control, multifunction display, smooth transmission, drive / ride comfort quality, and gas mileage...by the way, the V6 uses regular unleaded gas! Misses: Front seats are too boxy/boring and are the same found in some other Chrysler vehicles. There is an immediate need for thigh/side bolsters, quality of leather, the nav system is highly functional but looks cheap / cartoonish, heat/ac thermostat is not accurate, headlight washer only comes on every 12 swipes, wiper fluid is not heated, there is no dead petal for foot fatigue, the rear hatch should have an adjustable height option along with a glass panel opening option, sport mode is pretty much a waste of time, and the 36 month warranty reflects a lack of confidence in this vehicle.

  • Stay AWAY from the Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Purchasing this car was the biggest mistake Ive ever made! Buyer beware - read the reviews/complaints before spending all this money on a vehicle that has so much hesitation on acceleration that Im pretty sure Im going to get killed. A vehicle is suppose to move forward when pressing on the gas peddle. Instead the engine revs really loud like Im in a plane taking off but your still not going anywhere. In the meantime, the window of opportunity to pull out is quickly decreasing because of oncoming traffic (to the point where I would no longer feel safe in doing so) Then the car finally reacts and lurches forward throwing everyone back in their seats. To oncoming traffic and passengers in my car, it looks like Im pulling out at the last minute and cutting them off. This happens during All accelerations, back streets and highway driving. I brought it back to the dealer and took the service manager for a drive and his response was thats normal! He confirmed that it drives this way but to say its NORMAL is unacceptable. I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee Overland and will trade it as soon as possible!

    I feel the jeep is good and the sale people were top awesome. I would of change the nav unit to a Garmin with life time map and I would of put all the protective devices on the car . That they would not be options. Also I would of installed the full wiring harness in case they wanted to buy the options.

    Well have always thought of buying a Jeep and now I finally have. Was not really sure about it, but Frank Carbone was quite helpful in helping me come to my decision. The Jeep drives like a dream. With my children grown, I am looking forward to a vehicle for my husband and me. My Jeep is fully loaded and am sure Ill be riding around in comfort and style as soon as I get accustomed to all it has to offer. Heres hoping to to long time of fun and comfort.

  • MY JEEP MADE MOTION SICK!!! - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I purchased my Jeep 2015 Grand Cherokee Laredo last September 2015, and I was very happy about it cause I was purchasing an American made vehicle. It was my first jeep. After driving for one day, I went back to the dealership service department to find out what that little motor sounding noise was under the hood. Dont you know that no one there could tell me what it was? This sound comes and goes and I was stuck living with it thinking it was just something normal about it. Then after driving for a week or two, I felt as thought I was driving a manual car. When slowing down and coming to a stop, the transmission would shift kind of weird. As it was shifting down and I could feel that jerky motion it in my head and it was making me motion sick. This went on for a while and I wasnt sure what to do. So I took it to service where it was determined that my car needed a "software update". But after getting my car back, it was back to the same old thing. So I wrote to jeep about the problem and was told to take it back to service. So I did just that and I had two service people drive with me while I drove my car. The first person tried to blame the problem on the road surface. But then the second person, who told me that he too experienced motion sickness during his life and he drove with me and I told him about the transmission and how it was kind of jerky when I slow and brake to a stop. He told me that Jeep had changed their transmission to eight speed and that eventually will be going to a nine speed transmission. And these are his words, "the new transmission is more jerky". I had to agree with him. So after this, Jeep consumers office contacted me and told me that they were unable to help me because my car was okay and there was nothing to repair. What a joke I thought. I spend all this money for a lousy car that I thought was high quality when in fact it wasnt. Since I couldnt drive this car anymore, I had to trade it in for a more reliable "Japanese" car and I know Ill be happy with it. And at lease I wont have to get "software updates" for it. Im so happy with that. Jeep, youre history for me!!!

  • Great Vehicle... Highly Recomended - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Short history - I traded in a 2015 Tahoe LTZ for this car. Traded in the Tahoe with only 10,000 miles on it, after numerous problems, rattles, quality issues, etc. Even with taking a major loss on the Tahoe, I am still so glad to have purchased my Grand Cherokee. I have had the Jeep for exactly a year, and have just recently passed the 20,000 mile mark. I can honestly say this is the best car I have ever owned. Great ride quality, comfortable cabin, intuitive controls and features. The list goes on and on. The interior quality of the jeep makes my old top-of-the-line Tahoe look cheap. When driving over railroad tracks, the brand new Tahoe rattled like a tool box! Not my jeep - Not one rattle, even after 20,000 miles. This car is a blast to drive, and is very capable off road as well. The Air suspension is a great feature! Highly recommended!

  • Good but not the best for the price - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    After 16,000 miles sometimes I hear some noises from the suspensions.The ride is quiet,good comfort but stability in wet road is not the best,have to be carefull,I think the tires are too cheap(Fortera).Is a good suv,but I make a mistake when I trade my 2008 Acura MDX.
