  • LOUD ENGINE - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    For the first 50 miles you will enjoy a quiet ride. After that expect a loud knocking from the engine. Imagine you are driving a1970 ford with the valves out of adjustment and about to throw a rod. Yes, thats what driving this car is like. Dealer says its normal. Purchased at Moore Jeep Peoria AZ. Steer clear of this car until they get some competent engineers.

  • noisy like a jet - 2016 Jeep Cherokee

    At speed above 40mph, the car sounds like a jet plane! Very distractive.

  • Two Whole Days Before Trouble - 2016 Jeep Cherokee

    Bought car on Tuesday. Wife thrilled to get her desired suv Jeep, and Im thrilled to get her BMW, But wait!! Oh no!! Jeepy throws a "check engine" code on Friday, wife sad. Friendly dealer "fixes" errant code on Friday pm, wife somewhat revived. Oh no!! Code reappears on Sunday. Wife is in tears, wants her BMW back. How happy do you think I am right now?

  • I dont know what Ive gotten myself into - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I have been having issues with this care starting.. it sounds like it doesnt want to start. When I put the key in to start it up, it sounds like it isnt turning over. I had to push the gas pedal so that it would start up and I shouldnt have to, so I am worried about this, and I dont want to continue with this lease. I dont know if anyone else is having this issue but I am thinking about

  • Sour Lemony Snickets - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    2016 Defective brakes off the lot. Replaced all major components. Dealer was unable to get it right. Took them 12 days. Brakes on these cars are unresponsive and too firm, making it difficult to react quickly in an emergency situation. I dont get why they are designed like this. saftey tech blind spot, rear assist are great. Acceleration is very good, appearance and interior build style/quality very good. Navigation is quite basic for $600! Post-purchase all I hear about are reliability issues. So maybe I shouldve researched this car a lot more before buying. I doubt Ill let this car ever get out of warranty.

  • Niche SUV--Large Interior/Smaller Body - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    This is for the 2016 Limited 3.2 pkg. Shopped the market segment (Ford Escape, Dodge Journey) and ended with this as a 2-year lease as our daily driver. The Cherokee fits into a needed niche for SUV folks: small enough to park and maneuver easily, but large enough (inside) to not feel like a compact SUV (like the Escape). The leather interior feels like quality, as well as the dash and door surfaces. Heres a few complaints: (1) wheres the inside hatch release button? Please, FCA: tell me there is one (on a $36,000-MSRP vehicle); (2) the "auto stop" SUCKS! I didnt research this vehicle enough before selecting it and had I known about that "feature" it definitely would have deterred my interest in going this route. Imagine stopping for a few seconds, seeing your tach go to zero, then transitioning quickly between the brake and gas pedal and incurring a "clunk" as the Cherokee engages and moves ahead. And its not permanently defeatable, allowing only its disengaging manually each time you start up. To me, its utterly ridiculous--to force the shut down of the vehicle in a (vain) effort to increase the fleet MPG for FCA. Ill be curious to see how many trans issues Jeep will face in the future as the wear and tear related to that very noticeable bump between stop and take off shaves miles off the already precarious transmission in these vehicles. Otherwise, a well built vehicle, but based on the auto-stop I am glad I leased and didnt purchase.
