  Solid, powerful Jeep 4x4 - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jhbremer - August 28 - 5:07 pm

  I purchased my Jeep in February 2012. It was a pretty good find, given its age...only 34k miles on it when purchased. Rocky Mountain Edition (nice wheels, leather, sunroof, power everything, heated seats, Boston Acoustics). Ive put 15k miles on it since I bought it...with ZERO problems. The only thing I can think of was I got a warning about my 4x4 system for about 3 minutes while on the highway, but nothing since. Handles well for an SUV, plenty of power (love the torque from the 4.7L), and gas mileage isnt terrible (I can get 20-21 on the highway). Very pleased with this Jeep.

  Transmission - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mikelamb - August 12 - 10:00 am

  Why does it seem that i have to fix the transmission in my Jeep every year. Its always the shift modulator. My buddy just got a Jeep of the same year and drove it off the lot and when he got in his drive way it did the same thing as mine. Transmission light came on and you cant switch to manual shifting. i think Jeep needs to get me a new transmission.

  First SUV - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By geep - July 28 - 11:10 pm

  Used to performance sedans. The 4x4 is a seductive temptress. Relaxed, calm as I drive it. Interior comfort is good, finish is good. The vehicle is well built, and what I want.

  Not Bad At All! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By WAJ2306 - July 3 - 10:16 am

  WE bought it just to tow our camper! We added a tow bar to tow our camper and have made seven trips so far. Even with the 6cyl 3.7, it pulls and rides like a charm! Just recently we have had to have the drivers door seal replaced due to it protruding out a little far when you enter the drivers seat. The back seat leg room is tight for an adult, but is good for kids.

  Jeep limited - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By J.Lilly - June 17 - 3:06 am

  Great car. Love everything about it except the fuel mileage. Havent been able to take any long trips as yet due to illness in the family. I am anxious to see if the valve cutout system actually makes a difference on steady speeds over a long period of time. Handles like a dream, low center of gravity makes it handle on curves wonderfully. Acceleration is superb.

  Love our Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Hemi - June 14 - 6:00 pm

  We have a cabin in the Sierras and the road to our place is dirt. When it rains its very muddy and we needed a dependable 4 wheel drive to get there. We found it with the new 2005 Grand Jeep Cherokee. Just love to drive it! Its easy to drive and a dream to parallel park.

  MY 3RD JEEP - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By J. M. Coughenour - June 8 - 1:13 pm

  This is my third Jeep starting with a 2000 Laredo - 2002 Grand Cherokee and now a 2005 Grand Cherokee loaded including the 5.7 Hemi. So far this one has been excellent except in one small area which I am getting used to. When applying the brakes lightly they will on their own go down about 1 inch and then take better hold. I drove another 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it also did this. No explanation from Jeep. I am getting used to it and do not consider it a problem, only something different. The ride is greatly improved over the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo I had.

  RICHARD CRANFORD - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By RICHARD CRANFORD - June 7 - 11:36 pm

  This is my 8th Jeep and I have had fun with every one. Problem free and great mileage with all. I had a head on crash in my 2005 Grand Cherokee last month and walked away without a scratch on me and my Jeep was repaired and runs like new. Dont let anyone tell you that these are not 5 star crash protection because they are.
