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.

  Great Jeep - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By fulbox - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Too high a maintenance vehicle. Long warranty is BS.Need a special bank account to keep maintenance on this vehicle. Ask to see maintenance required and the cost. You make the decision. Most expensive vehicle I have ever owned.(55 years old). This the last Chrysler product I will ever buy.

  Better than 2001 V6 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By mvickers - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I traded my 2001 Limited Grand Cherokee 2WDw/V6 engine for 2004 2WDw/V8. I love the way that it drives. I totally disagree w/ Edmonds that it rides like a truck, and so does everyone else that I talk with. The V8 with 5 speed transmission is much more fun to drive and very smooth; IMO.The styling is great inside and out.I did have a number of problems with my 2001, but I believe that Jeep has strived hard for better quality in recent years.

  DECENT VEHICLE - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dan P - May 21 - 10:00 am

  Overall, a good SUV. Very little trouble until now. Recently replaced the water pump, fuel pump, and Battery. This is its third Battery. I cant complain though, I see this as normal wear and tear items for a vehicle with 175k. The only complaints I have is with the door panels. They started to come apart at 100k. All 4 panels will run you around $600.00, and you install. Exhaust header is also a problem. It cracks and develops a leak. There are aftermarket headers available. I found Gibson headers to be the most desirable. These are direct replacement, and bolt right in. All in all, I like my Grand.

  Best Yet - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Ray J - May 20 - 9:13 pm

  The Grand Cherokee(V8) is a top shelf 4x4. I have been driving Blazers for the past 8 years and the Jeep Grand is a much more capable vehicle. If you are looking for gas milage, buy a 4cyl. econo car. If you want a quick, real 4x4, get a Jeep Grand (V8).

  Problematic Vehicle - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Laura - May 19 - 2:36 am

  After a year of having my GC, I had one problem after the next. In the last year, the window regulator has had to be replaced on the passenger and driver side. Also, the check engine light has gone on at least 6 times, and all repairs were very costly and usually required new parts. Finally, my transmission randomly gave out after exiting the highway one day. Ive had my check engine light go on twice in one week for completely separate problems. This was my first Jeep and will most certainly be my last due to the reliability issues. The good things about this car are overshadowed by all the repairs-at the rate Im spending money on it I could have bought an 07 instead of going used!

  Satisfied After 20 Months - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By fizzle1979 - May 18 - 10:06 pm

  I purchased this used in June 05 with 59,500 miles. The ONLY problem I have had with this Jeep is that Ive replaced the battery twice in 20 months. I drive with my headlights on "auto" and Im told this drains the battery. Other than that, Im extremely happy with it. The seats are VERY comfortable. I usually drive 80 on the highway and gas mileage is around 17 mpg but I also have the 4.7 L engine and I put larger tires on it. Ive gone mudding in this Jeep and taken it on the beach and still no problems. All electronics still work and no brake problems. I change the oil every 3K miles, however I am not sure what the previous owners did.

  2016 Jeep Grand 4WD LMTD - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Grand - May 18 - 2:53 am

  Love everything about this vehicle, off road is just amazing. Great performance, handling and awesome on long HWY trips. Test drove many 4WD SUVs none come close to the Grand Cherokees interior and performance. I went for the luxury and tow package. Very pleased...

  By drew haught - May 17 - 3:06 am

  Overall the vehicle has been good and reliable. The biggest issues are the shocks and struts went bad at 40000 miles. The ride of the vehicle and cabin are wonderful.

  You really need to want a Jeep! - 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By You gotta fix it! - May 16 - 2:00 am

  Wife loves the styling. I hate fixing everything. Buy yourself a service manual otherwise you will make the $tealership rich. These vehicles are bought broken and you have to fix them to make them work right.
