• Strong engine lineup, unmatched off-road ability, balanced handling, long list of advanced safety equipment, solid warranty.

• Hard plastic interior surfaces could use some padding, less cargo capacity than most midsize SUVs.

  New Jeep - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  Great new ride -- clearly major German influence in build quality and state of the art features.

  Rough Start - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By A.Park - May 28 - 2:56 pm

  This car was bought new in 05. The first week I saw that rain water would leak into my interior through a hole in the pillar to the left of the windshield. We took it in and got it fixed, stopped the leaking. A few months later the first transmission problem occurred, slipping and then losing power after third gear. We got it fixed and it happened two more times throughout the next year or so. Almost right after I passed the 30k miles, one of my interior LEDs behind the instrument panel died. Now I am not having any problems, except I am bugged that any small splash of water on the seats (cloth) will leave a nasty white stain. But being my car, Ive grown fond of her.

  Best Jeep Yet! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Heather - May 25 - 11:40 am

  I have owned three other Jeep Vehicles in the past and this is the best one yet. I feel totally safe and comfortable with this Jeep. Its ability has overcome all the other Jeep vehicles I have had in the past. My Laredo is actually a 8 cylinder not a 6 but they dont have that choice on here but it is an option. To anyone who would be interested in buying this vehicle, I give it 5 stars and you cant get better than that!

  The Worst Vehicle... - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By stressedowner - May 7 - 10:00 am

  As others have stated, this is the worst vehicle I have owned. This past Sunday, it went to the dealership on a tow truck for the 6th time in the past year (yes, 6th time). The first 5 times were because it would not start - as in completely dead! The battery was replaced 3 of the 5 times. This last time was for the transmission. According to the dealership, the filter cracked and the transmission needs to be rebuilt. They are waiting for a part to come in. Lucky for me, it has all been covered under warranty. I am, however, now afraid to drive it anywhere but local for fear of it failing again and leaving me severely stranded!!!

  Fun Car - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  2005 Jeep Lorado is fun to drive. We have moon roof, heated seats and sat radio (I really like that)

  Not Bad... - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jim - April 1 - 10:53 am

  Overall, its not a bad vehicle. This is my third Jeep, and I have no major complaints. Reliability has been pretty good - Ive had a few minor warranty repairs, but thats it. Engine runs and pulls like a champ, and I get lots of compliments on the styling. Build quality could be a little better, but its not awful either. Ill be honest - I didnt spend Toyota money and I dont expect Toyota quality. Gas mileage is 15 city / 20 highway, but that drops pretty quick if I drive it hard.

  Hate the Electronic Transmission - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By txgamn - March 28 - 10:23 pm

  Ive had this vehicle in two times because of the the transmission and Ive only had it 7 months. It seems they place the A/C on top to the transmission and when the A/C starts condensing, it drips onto the transmission. If the transmission has not been sealed properly, the vehicle will be sluggish at times. I am afraid of this vehicle and that one day it may bog down too much and just stop when I am trying to merge on to the highway.

  My JGC Laredo - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Tammy - March 10 - 11:50 pm

  Im a single mom in the military and I LOVE my Jeep! My last vehicle was a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and my 2005 definitely handles much more like a car vs my 1995. My mom drives a Cadillac and even she loves to drive my Jeep. With the simple steering I have been able to avoid several near misses without pulling my arm out. My mom likes it because its effortless to try and steer. About the only things I can say against it is the gas mileage (which is expected out of an SUV), the exterior style and when the back seats fold down, they dont fold down flat. I love all the "extras" that come standard.

  Style and grunt - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By grand cherokee - February 26 - 7:26 am

  MY JGC Limited is almost a year old and only has 2000 miles on it. I hope the gas mileage improves as engine breaks in. Very nice SUV, almost too nice to consider taking off road. Very pleased with this, my second Jeep vehicle. I had a 2004 Jeep Liberty Renegade lost in a collision.
