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.

  • Not happy with this Jeep - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought the Jeep GC Overland because I like the styling and read a great review by Warren Brown in the Wash Post. After owning the car for 2 months, I wish I hadnt purchased it. Ive had the car in for service twice already, both times due to faulty computer issues (radio presets gone, clock not working, NAV system freezing), and transmission issues. The first time, I was told that they did software updates which should fix the problem, and the 2nd time, I was told that there is nothing wrong with the car (even though they recognize/identify the issue). Apparently, Jeep doesnt have a fix for the issue, so the issue doesnt exist.

  • Maintain it - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I love my Grand Cherokee! It is a very spacious and comfortable SUV. The Jeep is great off-road. Being a Jeep expert, make sure the Jeep has been maintained. Both the Inline-6 and V8 have seen 300k miles in many instances. The drivetrain and suspension are of less quality. The trannys are prone to break, some at 90k miles and others at 200k miles. Never get a tranny flush or a radiator flush! Both components will likely fail. The 1993=1998 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) is maintenence-intensive. Mine has 135k miles, has required a new steering box, starter, battery, steering stabilizer, many brake components, shocks, and various bushings in the front suspension. Great Vehicle for the expert.

  • Typical Domestic - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    We bought our Jeep w/88,000 miles on it. After owning several foreign 4x4s I was astonished at how well it was holding up and it has been a great vehicle till it hit that 130,000 mile mark and, just like all domestic vehicles it began to literally fall apart. $$$$$$! So much for comparing it to my toyotas that went nearly 300,000 miles w/no problems.

  • Please stay away! - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Stay away from this vehicle. Wonderful lemon.

  • My first JGC - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Hi there, i really like this vehicle. I test drove several other trucks and SUVs. This one is fun to drive, I dont have to worry about hitting a curb and damaging something. Jeeps are also pretty tough. I dont know about previous years but this vehicle has not had any problems.

  • Our Third Grand Cherokee could be better - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is our 3rd Jeep 4X4 Grand Cherokee We both love the car but theres room for improvement. The Seats sit to high for me Im 61 my head touches the roof with the seat all the way down. Interior is not as good as the 1999. The 1999 Had a much better interior a less plastic feel. The 1999 felt like you were in a sports car. The 99 got 17 MPG all the time and It was the bigger 5.7 V8. So far with the 4.7 V8 and 4,000 miles on this one we are getting only 13.7 adverage MPG the it does offer flex fuel but none is avaliable here in Texas so its a useless add. I miss our older better mileage more powerful Jeep. But I still love the Grand Cherokees

  • Great vehicle - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is the second Grand Cherokee Ive owned and couldnt be happier. I went from a 1999 Laredo with leather, sunroof, and 10 disc CD to a base 2005 Laredo with cloth and few options but didnt feel like I was stepping down. The new model is so much better in ride, handling, and comfort. It drives much smoother and quieter than the old model and definitely better than the Explorer or TrailBlazer I test drove. Im not sure why I even drove them because Jeep is always where my heart will lie.

  • Its a Jeep! - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Well Ive had to replace the ignition cylinder. The driver door power lock is acting up, and at 61,000 miles had to replace the engine (4.0). Thankfully it was covered under the extended warranty. Rear diff is noisy. They get you with style over reliability, but that should be well known by now.

  • Go Anywhere Do Anything... Overland - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is our second Grand and it by far is the best product yet. The HO engine can now only be surpassed by the new 2005 Hemi. It is a superb people mover and safe when it comes to moving little ones as well. I have changed the front rotors at 30000 and all is fine. Jeep has never put a large enough front rotor on any Grand. This is still managable. Love the body style and think it is superior to the newer 2005.
