Overview & Reviews

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.

  By t buck - August 20 - 7:10 pm

  I just had 2 window motors go out and they want me to not only fix the motor but to fix their mistake and replace the windows as well. This needs to be a recall. I have owned Dodge product since 67 i have a new challenger and this jeep .My son has a 97 jeep with the death wobble that wasnt recalled. I am a Senior citizen on a fixed income with 2 fairly new cars I bought them not to have these kind of nightmares . Come on and step up and fix this problem. Just like the government did for you. They didnt help you so you could make junk and not stand behind it you want people to buy American then stand up and do whats right!

  Kind Of Like a Boat - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Artback - August 18 - 2:48 pm

  It is said the happiest days in a boat owners life is the day a boat is purchased, and the day it is sold. So goes my story with my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Ecodiesel with Luxury Group. The vehicle was a great looking package with a rugged appearance and nicely trimmed interior. The diesel engine, while slightly noisy, pulled like a mule and got great mileage. That is, when it was working. Fortunately, my Jeep dealer was about a quarter of a mile off of my daily commute to work. That was a good thing as I saw the dealer often. The vehicle information system was very informative. Here are some of the messages it would send me: - "Engine Will Not Start in 130 mi See Dealer" "Incorrect DEF Detected. See Dealer." - Kind of interesting as the dealer is the only one to service this vehicle. - "Engine Will Not Start in 195 mi Service DEF See Dealer" .....and that frequent Check Engine symbol was kind of nifty. I was in the shop over 6 times within a year with multi-day layovers common. At least I got a loaner with the dealers promotional messages pasted to the outside. The last service, based upon forum recommendations, I had them change out the catalytic converter under warranty. Only then did I feel the vehicle stood a chance of being reliable enough to pass the potential problems off to someone else. I really loved that Jeep when it worked. I really hated that Jeep and the dealership experience when it did not work. It is likely I wont be back to any Chrysler product for quite some time.

  Excellent purchase dont regret it - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bravealdie - August 14 - 10:00 am

  I did a lot of research before I bought my vehicle and overall for that body style that was the best year to have purchased one. The only complain I have of this vehicle is that it has a poor fuel consumption. Mechanically this vehicle is very sound, extremely stylish, and very dependable that will provide many fun years off road and on pavement.

  We love our Jeep - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By rodnutrandy - August 14 - 10:00 am

  Admit brake rotors junk, Chrysler replaced at no charge (battle) Gas mileage with K&n filter the only change is 20.5 average city and country driving (4.0 straight 6). torque of engine great.Costs less than Ford Escape, Better Warranty, better ride, less wind noise,more standard accessories,and more comfort. Full size spare on Matching mag wheel.Unless something drastic happens we will buy another.

  Good Overall SUV - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Oh Shane - August 13 - 12:10 pm

  I purchased this JGC V-8 with 110,000 on it, and have had pretty good luck. Motor is strong and with a class 4 hitch, pulls my ~6000 lb boat/trailer with no problems! Uni-Body construction doesnt look too happy when I hitch on the boat, but the motor/trans doesnt complain. 4WD system has given me no problems either and is very capable, IT IS A JEEP. Only minor problems so far.

  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.

  staller! - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By dan - August 11 - 11:23 am

  Extremely comfortable, but terrible car overall. I should have listened to the reviews before I bought it - it kept stalling on me, the dealers dont know what to do, and its too late to declare it a lemon. What a terrible vehicle - BEWARE! Chrysler/Jeep has not completely worked out all the kinks in this car, most importantly with the engine. This car is extremely dangerous to drive - I stalled out once on the highway and once in the middle of traffic, other times at the bank or while turning to park my car. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE - the ridiculous maintenance fees are bad in themselves, but even worse when they dont fix the problem.

  This Jeep is Amazing! - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By stucozza - August 9 - 4:39 pm

  Bought the Summit in August, so I am just under two months in, and it is one heck of an improvement from my 2009 Overland (Hemi), which was very reliable and had very few problems. Ride and handling are improved, and the V-6 has plenty of power for just about anything short of pulling a large trailer. There was a problem with the Blind Spot Monitoring system, and the dealer just replaced its control module (less than an hour). My first trip during the first week yielded ~26 MPG, mostly on the highway. While I never buy a vehicle solely upon gas mileage, this was a nice bonus. Combined driving yields 22-23 MPG. The ZF 8-speed transmission makes this Jeep work well.

  MY 2004 Jeep Cherokee - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By L.Sloan - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Excellent gas mileage, easy to handle....a pleasure to drive. The only thing I wish were different that it had a cassette player too ( mine came with stereo CD and radio).
