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.

  JEEPERS CREEPERS - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By flywitme - October 7 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle has given me nothing but grief since I bought. I bought it brand new, and have continusly had to bring it into the shop for repairs.when you take it in shop, they will not provide you with a loaner vehicle. All my repairs for the most part were warranty covered. But I have had major problems with the brake system. And had replace my brakes 2 times a year, plus my rotors. I know I drive a lot, but this vehicle is suppose to be top quality. Its a car, its made to be driven, and it just. first place. I will never in my life ever buy a Jeep again. I make sure if anyone I know is even thinking about it, that they know what a POS this car is.

  The Heep - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By eric99999 - October 7 - 2:00 am

  So far with only 3000 miles, no problems to report. This is my 4th Jeep, 2nd Grand Cherokee, all with the excellent 4.0L inline 6. Best Engine in the Chrysler lineup since they stopped making the slant 6. Plenty of horsepower and the right combination of engine/transmission. I just wish it got better mileage. I have yet to get the advertised mileage of 16/21...Im averaging 14-15. Maybe it will get better as it breaks in.

  Disappointed 2007 2x4 Laredo 3.7L 6 cyl - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By RGLydy - October 5 - 4:13 pm

  Only 24,000 miles and already have a tranny leak! Dont care for the transmission(French Made)they put in this jeep, they should have kept the 4.0 liter engine, and (USA Made) transmission. I forty years old, and have a 2X4 model, I dont beat or abuse it in any way. I all so dont like the delay in the acceleration to the engine. Id buy a Chevy next time.

  Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L 4WD - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By aerotechie - October 3 - 6:33 pm

  Pros: Great looking, great driving, comfortable SUV. Plenty of torque. Cons: Fuel mileage. Reliability. In 1.5 years, have had to replace tie rod ends, one front hub assembly, rear axle bearings, exhaust manifold gaskets, door control modules (for power windows and locks), crankshaft position sensor, striker switches in doors, HVAC unit, and the battery twice. Vehicle was purchased with 93k miles and is used primarily for commuting to and from work on rural roads--i.e., I dont drive it hard. Always left wondering what new problem will emerge.

  My Grand Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4 - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Debbie - October 2 - 7:43 pm

  I bought my car in 2007. I was excited about getting an American vehicle instead of an Asian car. But after having some minor problems, I learned that it was very much expensive to keep up with the replacement of this vehicle as oppose to an Asian vehicle. My warranty stinks. My navigation had problems, and when I took it to the dealer, they made me pay them $100 just to tell me that I had to buy the new CD to replace my navigation. I was pissed off about that. Another thing was the back middle seat belt got stuck, and wouldnt pull down. The dealer did not cover for that either. Overall, the dealer warranty stinks! I pay an additional $40.00 per month for warranty for nothing!

  Stalling - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By resdeb72 - October 1 - 10:56 am

  Purchased new but had in shop only two weeks later. Stalls and wont move. All dash lights stay on and have to turn off then restart and usually corrects the problem. dealer cant find problem. The stalling continues. Now have 33,000 miles and go to start it one day and battery blows up! Sitting at dealer as I write this. Stay away from this vehicle!

  Second Time Around - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By The Jeepster - September 29 - 10:00 am

  We purchased our second Jeep in Sept. of this year having owned our first (90 Cherokee Pioneer) for 11 years and 200,000 miles. Our new 2001 GC Laredo has performed flawlessly for the first 10,000 miles. Compared to our fisrt, it has a much smoother ride and a much more comfortable interior. We are very happy we decided to buy another Jeep.
