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.

Pleasantly Surprised - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By alabamaabby - March 31 - 1:44 amWe researched many vehicles before buying our 2011 JGC in Nov 2010. It is beautiful inside & out. Comfy seats with great adjustablity on the drivers side, lots of legroom, responsive & adjustable steering, large cargo area, very quiet, smooth ride, & good gas mileage. We came from a Toyota Tacoma that got 19 mpg no matter. Our JGC gets 18 to 20 city & 24 hwy. We have had no mechanical issues at all & we are at 10K miles. My only gripe is with the auto transmission. It is just plain weird. I mainly drive the Jeep & I still am not used to the way that it shifts. My husband has no problem with it. I dont feel the weirdness when riding as a passenger. Very happy with our choice!

I absoltuely love my JGC - 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By fingaz - March 27 - 3:41 pmI bought a used 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.5 years ago and I couldnt be happier with my purchase. It is a very comfortable vehicle, drives great... with the upgraded interior (leather, navi) its really a comfortable luxurious truck. Its VERY reliable, too. Currently I am at 75,000mi and other than normal maintenance (change the oil every 3,000 miles), I havent had any problems what-so-ever.

HORRIBLE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING SYSTEM - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Paul - March 26 - 2:28 amI strongly suggest that you should not purchase one of these vehicles until the terrible, dangerous, unreliable, finicky electronic shift program is changed. 1) Every time I start this Jeep and pull back the console shift lever to put it in drive, nothing happens the first time. I have to repeat this action twice to get the transmission into Drive. Because this shift lever is not connected mechanically to the transmission, it relies on sensors to read what position (Park, Drive, Reverse, Neutral...) you are trying to get the transmission to shift to. This system is either very poorly designed, is made up of faulty components, is poorly programmed, or (you fill in the blank...) When I want to back up, it often takes several tries to get the vehicle to move into the Reverse position. With almost every other automatic transmission ever built, there is a detent, or notch that you feel when shifting into a different gear. Not so with this terrible design. The console shift lever has a Home" position that is resides in until you try to convince it to "sense" the gear that youre trying to shift to. When I am going through an automatic car wash and get to the end, I cant just move the transmission from neutral to drive quickly to get out of the way of the vehicle that is just 2-3 feet behind me. NO. Instead I have to push the button on the shift lever (no big deal) AND step on the brake pedal before I can get it into Drive!!! This really freaks out the driver behind me, often causing them to hit their brakes when they see my brake lights come on. Since they are still on the transport system of the car wash, this then crashes the car wash drive and they have to stop and reset their system. I have owned close to 40 cars and trucks, most of them with automatic transmissions. I have NEVER had one that requires the driver to step on the brake pedal when shifting from Neutral to Drive. This is stupid, cumbersome and DANGEROUS. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer many times, asking them to fix these problems, only to be told that pretty much everyone who owns one of these has brought it back with the same request for "repairs". The answer is that there is NO REPAIR or adjustment available. They actually designed it to work this way. I wish I had not purchased this vehicle and feel sorry for everyone who has one. If there is any good news in this at all, it is that our lovely Federal Government is now engaged in an "Engineering Review" of all the complaints about this vehicles electronic shift program to see if it needs to be elevated to a RECALL. I dont know how it cant be.

Our Grand Cherokee almost killed my wife - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Scott - March 24 - 11:56 pmOur Jeep Grand Cherokee had the 5.7 Hemi with the Quandra Drive II transmission. Last week the entire car was engulfed in flames and my wife and in laws were lucky to get out in time. Luckily a police officer was directly behind the car when the fire started, stating he thought that transmission fluid leaked onto the exhaust system and that cause the fire. However, what started small got aggressive real fast, entering the passenger compartment in under 90 seconds. Car was back to the dealer 9 times for the same problem, the transmission. Stay away from this vehicle. Chrysler cant fix their own product and it could have killed by wife and her parents. Never again Chrysler.

Still loving this SUV after almost 4 years - 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By vpjeep - March 21 - 11:11 amI have had this 2010 GC Laredo 3.7L base model for almost 4 years. No fancy shmancy bells or whistles; the 2WD SUV is perfect for southern/rainy climates. It sits up high, steering is tight/responsive, super Mercedes W5A580 tried- and-tested transmission, and a window liftgate to carry long items. (Very few SUVs have that window liftgate feature.) In 4 years, I have had nothing but smooth, reliable performance. TIRES. Oh what a difference good tires make- recently replaced the stock Forteras with Michelin LTX M/S and it feels like a brand new car with perfect handling. I am even happier with it now. Corners great, solid grip and confidence in major rain, and a ride smooth as glass.

Good Price for a Disposable (Laredo RWD) - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By PuertoRico - March 21 - 12:26 amGood price among same category SUVs available having many more features for the same price as competitors. Has nice handling in curves thanks to ESP and electronic transmission control. Descent sound quality and air conditioning unit. Center rear view mirror auto dimming is definitely a plus. Transmission is jumpy and kicks from time to time. Interior finishes are kind of mediocre and unfortunately there are noises from the trunks posts plastic covers and in the front console

Happy with JEEP - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Sandra Digilio - March 18 - 10:00 amI bought my Jeep with 53,000 miles, so far I have had the stabalizer replaced. I love my Jeep, it is very comfortable and I really enjoy the drive. It has a tough look and a strong sturdy frame. I plan to keep it for the next four years and in ll honesty I feel I made a great decision to purchase my Jeep.

Good -- But not quite what it could be - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By RLF100 - March 18 - 10:00 amA darned good vehicle to wrap yourself in lots of safety steel. "Built like a Jeep" -- with good reason: it has honorably withstood serious bangups. But...glitches like rapidly wearing brake rotors and transmission flukes make it less than inspirational for assurance of maintainence free driving. Like many SUVs, it seems a bit tippy -- and a whole lot less nibble than a comparably priced sedan. A great car to lease for 3 years...and then let someone pick up wiht repair prices. But...while you lease it, it has a strong sense of encased safety.

Cant go anyother way - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By JeepBeast - March 16 - 10:00 amI Love my zj, got the 318 v8 in it and man that motor is solid and fast with the quadra trac transfer case. Gotten stuck once in it but easy to pull out. Has 175,263 miles on it and still running strong and tranny shifts smooth. Gas mileage is alright for a vehicle that is 15 years old. about 15 in city and 22 on highway give or take. Would drive it anywhere and Chrysler can build a great vehicle.
