  • Upscale interior

    I believe that the overall value of this vehicle comparring ride comfort, affordability and quality put it at a moderately high level. Recently moved from South Florida to the northwest corner of Arkansas. I soon realized with the approaching winter my 2015 BMW 428i coupe was not going to survive the snow and ice associated with winters in this area. Taking all the variables into account , I started researching viable four-wheel-drive SUVs. Comparing the cost-benefit ratios and my needs as a single person, I chose the Grand Cherokee over other Jeep models and the competition. My 4 x 4 Limited is a nice mixture of the luxury amenities as well as the traditional Jeep practicality. Not 100% sold on the 20 inch wheels however. Without purchasing the upgraded off road terrain package, it was only available in the 20 inch platform. For the individual wanting to truly experience the off-road, I would recommend upgrading and purchasing the 18 inch wheels. If youre looking for a performance vehicle, the 3.6 may not be the engine for you. With fuel cost currently being as low as they are, Im personally wishing I had purchased the V8. Must I must say, I didnt purchase it as a performance vehicle though, so the 3.6 will suffice. Interior visibility is less than optimal, but thats attributable to exterior styling. I must say, shifting the automatic transmission takes some getting used to. I actually took it back to the shop because I couldnt get it into park without getting stuck in reverse. Then going through a two-step process of reengage the "release button" and jamming it forward. After a little tutelage and practical application it was determined that it was operator error. Ha! All in all, I must say that the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a nice blend of luxury, modern styling and practical usage.

  • Nice SUV, like its Man-look - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Overall a comfortable experience with purchasing and riding of this car. Only have it for one month and put on 700 miles. Best look SUV ever! Only thing not so satisfied is, city MPG is kinda poor, only 15+ in local.

  • Air Ride a disaster - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I guess you could say I was almost completely satisfied with my Summit until some one crashed into me. That was March 30th and my car still has not been returned to me! Why? Because Jeep cannot fix the air ride! Dealership repair people tell me once an air ride goes out in a vehicle its a usually is a continual nightmare. However Jeep says it can be fixed, so why has it taken close to 5 months and they dont seem to be any closer to fixing it. So, the persons insurance does not want to total it since they feel it should be Jeeps problem to fix it. They will not take responsibility Im left to dry and am no closer to getting my car returned to me. I will never again buy an air ride so BEWARE!

  • Transmission Stalled and other issues - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I purchased my Jeep GC Limited on 9/5/2015. The engine light came on at 250 miles in the first week. The evaporation canister gasket was bad and needed to be replaced. Dealer was able to fix within 1 day. At 1,600 miles while driving in city traffic slowing down for a traffic light the vehicle jumped forward twice like I had been rear-ended. This was caused by the transmission shifting down from 3 to 2 and 2 to 1. The vehicle then went into to "limp" mode and I could not go over 5MPH and the transmission was stuck in 1st gear. I managed to get out of traffic and into a parking lot. Had this happened in a busy intersection or while merging into busy, fast moving highway it could have been deadly. I called roadside assistance and the JGC had to be towed to the nearest dealer. They have had the vehicle for 4 days and now have told me they will have to "tear down" the transmission to try to figure out what is wrong. When the cause is determined Chrysler will determine if the transmission will be fixed or replaced based on their "70% rule". The first time we put the back seat down the headrest fell off of the passenger-side rear seat and could not be put back in place. The dealer had to fix this because a clip was missing. Again, could have been dangerous if the headrest had fallen off in an accident and your head was whiplashed against against the two metal rod mounts. My family has been loyal to Chrysler and have owned nothing but Dodges since 2000. We have owned 2 Ram 1500s, a Durango, and an Avenger. All were great vehicle. Chrysler and Jeep you missed the level of expected quality and reliability with the new Jeep Grand Cherokee models! When you pay upwards of $40,000 for a high-end vehicle you expect better quality, reliability and service than this. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is promoted as the "Most Awarded SUV" ever. Jeep has been long known for it quality and great products however, it seems Chrysler and Jeep are being very silent regarding all of the recent transmission issues. Perhaps the transmission issues are going to be ignored and swept under the rug to avoid bad publicity. Come on Chrysler and Jeep your loyal customers deserve better than this!!! Check out the reviews for the 2014s and the 2014 and 2015 Dodge Durango, these vehicles have the same transmissions. The electronic transmissions are shifting from park to reverse on their own, not staying in gear, getting stuck in gear, and shifting roughly. Also check out the Jeep Cherokee which also has many reports of transmission problems. The NHTSB also has many transmission issues reported and is contemplating a class-action lawsuit regarding the number of injuries and safety issues that surround the transmission coming out of park and rolling away causing injury to people and damage to the vehicle and surrounding property.

  • Unexpected changes for 2015. No more dual exhausts. - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I took delivery of my new 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited this week. Unfortunately, I failed to notice that for 2015, Jeep has eliminated the sporty dual exhausts for the Limited, which is very surprising for their most popular selling model. Aesthetics were part of my decision for the Grand Cherokee and this is a horrible design decision by Jeep. It cheapens the look of the high-end Limited model down to an ordinary Laredo and ruins the symmetry of the car from the back. Having just shelled over $45K for a Limited, I expected better. This is a very cheapskate decision and shame on Jeep.

    Traded mine in with just over 20k miles. Simply the least reliable vehicle Ive ever owned. Traded in for a Subaru and couldnt be happier.

  • 8 gears of torture - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    worst Carolina I have ever owned. 1st gear bucks, random gear changes. Gets stuck in middle gears. Sloppy gear transition and overall poor engineering. This is the worst transmission I have ever experienced. If you want the truth on this car, read the 2014 reviews. If you buy this truck after reading this you are crazy. I wish I did more homework. I know its a major issue b/c this is the most common complaint. My father in law has exact same year/model and his is fine. Downshift when braking feels like you are in the car with someone that doesnt know how to drive stick. Just terrible.

  • Dam,Dam fine ride - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Better get you one b4 they are all gone. This thing is like riding in a towncar. No noise from the road, engine, tires, or anything else. The ride is superb. The way this thing handles is like a sporty car not a bigger car. The price is good and the way the options come are really good for the buck. Get you one b4 we end up buying another one.

    Issues with the shifter are overblown. The paddle shifts are a little redundant but okay to ignore them.
