  2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Overaland - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Derek J. Richards - January 26 - 12:04 am

  I live in Montana. That should tell you a little about my driving style. Everything out here is far apart. I do a lot of driving and wanted a vehicle that can keep up with what Im going to throw at it. Before I bought the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Overland (JGCDO), I was on the fence. It was either the JGCDO or the 2015 Audi Q5 TDI. I test drove both, a few times. I liked the Audis better mpg and get-up. However the towing capacity and the interior storage capacity of the Audi was a deal breaker for me. Along with not being able to put BF Goodrich All Terrain tires on the rig--they just dont make them to fit the Audi. I dont like having to put winter tires on my rig in the cold and flu season and them take them off to put another set on in the beginning of allergy season. I like to buy one set of tires every 50,000 miles. I did a lot of research on both models. The TDI engine is tried and true--been around for many years, is reliable and bullet proof. The new diesel engine that Fiat came out with in 2014 for the Grand Cherokee is not tried nor true, however they have been building diesel engines successfully for a number of years. After combing over the jeep forums, I found many people dissatisfied with their JGCDO due to warranty issues with the catalytic converter and other minor things. I decided to take the leap into the deep end and buy the 2015 JGCDO last week. I got the extended warranty to satisfy the uneasiness about the reliability and 3 year 36,000 mile factory warranty concerns I had. Even with the extended warranty the overall price of the JGCDO still came in below the cost of the Audi Q5 TDI. It would have been nice to say "I own an Audi," but when I go skiing in a few months and have to drive through a blizzard to get some fresh turns at Big Sky, I will be happy with my decision because I know the JGCDO will be able to mob through 20" of fresh snow with a little help from the adjustable air suspension and the BF Goodrich All terrain tires. I just dont know if the Audi--even with top of the line snow tires and Quattro all-wheel drive would be able to. On a side note, I took a 415 mile trip today over about 10 hours going up and down mountain passes from 5,000 to 11,000 feet above sea level. My speed ranged from around 20 to 85 mph with BF Goodrich All Terrain tires. It was mostly highway but some hard miles were up and down steep grades at high elevation doing no more than 20 mph. With two people in the car, lots of food and gear, we averaged 29.1 mpg. Take that Audi! One word of advice: If you live in a cold weather climate and are thinking about getting a JGCDO, then negotiate for the engine block heater cord to be installed before you drive it off the lot. Its fairly inexpensive (~$150 with install) and should be standard on all diesel engines but its not.

  Poor clothing seats material - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By muaid momany - November 28 - 4:33 am

  2015 Grand Cherokee Altitude, it drives great and I love the way it looks with sharp style. But I got disappointed with the quality of the interior seat. The seats are kind of mix clothing with surrounding leather. After 3 months of purchasing I started to notice that the middle of drivers seat start to tear on me. I contacted the dealer and they took a pic and sent to the Chrysler trying to replace the seat since it still under manufacture warrantee, but the response was negative. I am really disappointed and still angry because I am very sure that was not my fualt and I am not a smoker.So this replacement is going to cost me about $800.

  REALLY wanted to like it... but didnt - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By John Cash - October 30 - 5:07 am

  I really wanted to like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Having come from a similarly sized SUV that treated us well for 12 years, I really wanted to upgrade our technology and other features we didnt have. The dealer let me take the Jeep home for 24 hours to decide. Unfortunately the Jeep drives poorly -- it rolls severly in turns and is not quick or zippy like youd think given the engine. It also drives like a car much bigger than it is. It doesnt help that the steering wheel is incredibly thick. I dont know how any one would want to drive this day in and day out. Its really too bad because the Jeep does come with a TON of features and is a great value for what you get, from that aspect. And the Jeep LOOKS good. Recommendation is to really make sure youve given it a proper test drive before buying. I was *this* close to buying but decided to take the dealers offer to drive it for a day.

  Looks Great But!!! - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Ron - October 27 - 10:27 pm

  I really wanted one of these. My son has a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited and i fell in love with it. The overall ride, comfort, features. So I did a lot of different car shopping and settled on a 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited in Red, the color I really wanted. I got a good deal. Second day I had it I could not program the memory seats. Took it back to the dealer which was great, salesman and service manager looked at it for about 30 minutes and could not get it to work so I had to make an appointment to bring it in. Few days later smelling oil from the vehicle in my garage. Looked underneath it and oil dripping from it. Took it right down to dealer as it is close to my home and they brought it right in and said my power steering pump was leaking and they would have to replace the entire pump. 700 miles and new pump. Said I could drive it as they would have to order part would have it in a day or 2. So I go to take it in in 2 days and a puddle of oil by my back tire. My rear shock was bad, they had to replace that also. So 2 major things with under 1000 miles on it. The power seats the push pin connector was bent. Now fast forward I have 3000 miles on it and my front tire was at 9 lbs thought I picked up a nail or something so took it to dealer. They found nothing in tire so thought it was the valve stem, replaced it. well next day tire low again and the next day low again. Back at the dealer today for low tire issue. I think I may have a lemon. I hope this is it with the problems. I had Subarus for the last 3 years with not 1 problem. I buy this car and nothing but problems in the first month. I really like the vehicle but I am hating the inconvenience and the poor reliability. Paid a lot of money for this. The dealer has been great so far.

  GC Summit, Lot of fun to drive, great looks - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bob Farb - September 25 - 11:18 am

  The GC Summit is really nice. Fun to drive, comfortable. It needs some additional technology like lane departure and front cameras. Maybe auto parking, thats not a huge issue. Overall I really enjoy this car!

  By Jeeper its a Keeper - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mike - August 12 - 6:35 am

  I purchased a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee to replace my 13 Chrysler 300. Extremely comfortable in all my travels. I have used it to go off road, pull my boat, and personal need. This vehicle is comfortable on the inside. When I take clients with me they are impressed that its a Jeep. Constantly telling me they cant believe how luxurious it is on the inside. Driving at night is awesome the headlights turn on to brights on their own. Wipers have rain sensing on them. Looked at other 4x4 vehicles and just wasnt happy with the dash setup and options offered. Best options for the money I paid. Make sure to take out the MOPAR warranty instead of the dealer warranty. Mopar covers until 2098 bumper to bumper or 999,999 miles on all major componets with $100 deductible. Take out a transmission at 150k 100 bucks to fix it. Warranty is pricey but well worth it.

  Cheap looking same old design - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Arthur Sentle - February 17 - 2:12 am

  Friend bought a 2006 GC brand new that I fell in love with. It was a basic model but did have the 4x4 and towing packages. 9 years later and now that I could afford one, I bought a 2015. I wish I would have had the opportunity and had at least a two day test drive period. First of all Fiat has cheapened the exterior by eliminating the dual exhausts and adding that ugly plastic trim along the bottom. Next the Uconnect is a nightmare especially since the heated seats and other options arent controlled by a physical knob. The dash squeaks so I know as my Jeep ages these squeaks will become really annoying. The steering wheel is too thick, your hands become sore after a long drive. Even with the lumbar and other seat controls, your back is sore after two or more hours of constant driving. Cheap interior trim and my leather seats are starting to crack in the FL heat and humidity. The dealer just repaired my transmission.... others have had the same problem... and now the A/C compressor is bad. It keeps recycling every 15 seconds as if there is not enough refrigerant in the system. Anyone who is really serious about buying this model or other Chrysler Fiat models, read the Consumer Report reviews. Youll change your mind in an instant. As with all Chrysler products, their styling is stuck in the mid 2000s.

  A great all around SUV - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Clarence Carlson - February 5 - 12:03 am

  Update 9/16. Owned this car a year now and have 12K miles. The experience has been, overall, a good one. Just about every time I get into the Jeep I note the quality of the interior, comfortable seating and its quietness on the road. Handling is great in all seasons. Last winter wasnt our worst here in MN but I can honestly say I never spun a tire or experienced any slipping/sliding at all. If I head out on a long trip I can expect 27 MPG and today my mixed driving MPG said 24.3. Its a good all around vehicle. I have no complaints at all. What follows is my original review. I looked over all the SUVs on the market, did research for 3 months. I wanted something that held 5 passengers (dont need 7 passenger seating), decent gas mileage, reasonable creature comforts but not all the bells and whistles and something that, if there was a sudden zombie takeover, I could drive off the road without worrying about how the car would hold up. Already had a 7 year old Patriot so I knew what I could expect in the way of service at my local Jeep dealer. I decided on a fairly basic Laredo with tow package and a few add ons. My dealer posts the bottom line no haggle price on line so I knew the cost (about three grand down from sticker). Finally saw one listed on line locally and went in to look at it. The test drive, used car evaluation (they gave me very close to book in spite of all the squeaks and rattles) and decision to buy took about 30 minutes. Ive been buying cars since 1978 and this is the smoothest experience Ive had to date. So what did I get? A very smooth ride: if you need a better ride you will pay more. Great handling on dry pavement and in snow: I live in Minnesota where this is critical. Nice interior that is quiet on the road. Comfortable seats for everyone; I got the power drivers seat with adjustable lumbar support which is excellent. A peppy 3.6 L engine that does better than I really need (you have to have driven a 4 cylinder engine to appreciate this). Gas mileage: about 22-23 day to day and on one three hour trip I got 28 mpg all highway. I really like the gauges which are well done and controls are sensibly laid out. Room? I just returned from a vacation where we loaded 4 adults and all the luggage and had plenty of room. Overall Ive had it six months and cant find anything I would change. So far Ive not had any service issues. I did purchase an extended bumper to bumper warranty.
