Model Overview:

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the pioneers that ushered in the modern midsize SUV in the early 1990s. Jeep has always wanted the Grand Cherokee to be maneuverable enough for urban duty, roomy enough for family duty, stylish enough to take out on the town and capable enough to tow your toys or shuttle your passengers to a remote campsite. Modern Grand Cherokees are far more refined than the early models, but they're no less versatile.

Unlike most other traditional SUVs, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has always been built using a carlike unibody platform for superior on-road handling. Yet Jeep's strong reputation for off-road prowess is retained, thanks to the Grand Cherokee's advanced four-wheel-drive systems and capable suspension. It's a rare combination of attributes in a modern utility vehicle, as the Jeep is able to venture farther off the beaten path than competing crossover SUVs.

    I owned 2 Explorers before I finally crossed my fingers on the reliability issue got a Jeep. Its a superior vehicle all around: better ride, very comfortable seating, awesome power and acceleration from the 4.7, more tow capability, REAL off- roading ability. Averaging lifetime 17mpg (4.7 w/4wd), only 1 mpg less than my 99 V-6 2wd Explorer. Fewer quality/warranty issues than I expected. Best, most versatile vehicle Ive ever owned.

    My Jeep has been with this family for nearly 8 years. It is a good ride and has given us a good ride for the bucks. It was bought as a vehicle for our daughter to drive at KU! Now it is a vehicle for our son who is also at KU! It has good gas mileage and has give us decent repair bills. Mainly, spark plugs and tires. It will make someone a good third or fourth car.

  • DISASTER! - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have had tremendous problems with this car. The rotors are terrible. I have had them turned 5 times in two years. I will soon need to totally replace them. There are countless other problems that I have had with this vehicle. Worst craftmenship I have ever seen in a vehicle. I have had two Jeeps prior to this one that did not have problems. I would have bought another after this but will never again buy a Jeep considering the hosing I got on this dud! These need to be recalled (at least for the brakes)

    Bought my 1st semi-new vehicle after college. Have owned it less than a yr. now it keeps getting stuck in gear. Code says Transmission Control Module. Paid $2000 for an extended warranty, but it is not covered b/cits considered electronic. Well, the whole car is based on a computer so it should really improve electrical components. So a tow, rental car, and who knows what the cost of parts and labor will be...and Im one very angry customer. No wonder Chrysler is going bankrupt! Less than 45,000 miles, so something like that should not be breaking!!!

    I love my Jeep, but I cant give the company any further business. Warranty repairs that charge a deductible, parts that wear out in less than two years (and ARENT covered under warranty), and a customer service agent who told me that she didnt need my business. Just noticed that there were ZERO Chrysler products (including Jeep) were recommended by Consumer Reports: Im buying a new vehicle in the next three months and it (sadly) cant be a Jeep.

  • Good but not Great - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is the 3rd Jeep Ive owned and Ive always had great luck. I havent spent a dime on repairs with any of my Jeeps, however, I dont have as much confidence in my 99. Its a great SUV but the few premature squeeks and rattles, and overall quality has got me thinking if I should start looking for a replacement. Maybe a Japanese product??

    My jeep has only 75,000 miles on it and this is the second time the drivetrain has been worked on. Most recently the rear differential went out costing $1600 to fix, the transfer case and the front differential have all been worked on also. I love the engine but the 4 wheel drive system is subpar to say the least.

    This is pertaining to the limited model with the quadra trac II. Was not a fan of the "all time 4wd". Controlled 4wd seems like it was designed for people who do not know how to use 4wd and need it controlled for them. Brakes were always worn and I was very easy on them. Electronics always seemed to have a problem. The gas line, leak detector, water pump, EVERY seal and gasket, radiator, and lock actuators all went under 75,000 miles. It seemed to have a new leak every month. Parts are extremely expensive. Unknown high pitched wine coming from the front axel. I sold it before I found out what that was. Paint chipped as well.

  • Think Twice about Jeep Grand Cherokee - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I am on my second Jeep Grand Cherokee now and will not purchase another. My first Jeep, a 2001 needed constant brake replacement and the transmission and transfer case both broke down. My 2005 Jeep currently has 37,500 miles and the mounts on the transfer case/transmission went out while I was driving and I was stranded at a busy intersection. Now, even though I have an extended warranty...Chrysler may not cover it. They also make you service the differentials every 12,000 miles at $300 each time...no other car company I called required this. The brakes on this car have also been replaced 3 times. I am done with Jeep.
