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.

Awesome - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By John Saba - June 13 - 9:26 amI recently purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 5.7 liter Hemi engine. I have owned and driven many European and Japanese SUVs but I was totally blown away but this cars performance. It is also very fun to drive. The interior gives you a specially cozy feeling inside. Downside is the fuel economy, which in fact is not much different from any other SUV, doesnt come even close in performance. Also I am 6 4" and although I fit in perfectly well I dont recommend it to anyone taller.

Will never own another Jeep - 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By EBJ - June 6 - 10:00 amPurchased new in Jan 1997, ran out of gas Feb 1997 due to inoperative gas gauge. Brakes, replaced, windshield leak, repreated visits to dealership to no avail. Currently in 2002, new brakes again $400.00. March, transmission went. Since truck was over 3 years, no help from Daimler- Chrsyler; cost $4,000.00. August 2002, turn signal, winshield wiper computer gone; $200 repair. Sept 2002, fuel pump in the gas tank had to be replaced; $500 repair. It seems that Daimler has done little to improve Chryslers product. If you plan to purchase a JEEP, buyer beware.

A $35K piece of junk - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Rick vW - March 29 - 7:36 amNothing but electrical problems with Jeeps (I owned 3 and each time I was convinced by the dealer I had an anomalous car). Year 2: driver seat electric stops working. Year 2: door panel comes loose and cannot be attached. Year 3: many tranny problems, leakages, starting problems. $6000 in total cost. Year 4: extreme cracking of seat leather (LOWEST GRADE!), leakage of tranny fluids, loud airplane noise from tranny. Year 5: real electrical problems start: lights wont go out. 3 batteries dead, electric windows will not go up. I get about 170 miles out of 20 gallons, the car drives like a tank and with all the problems it is just garage parked at this point. ASK YOURSELF: $35k for this?

The Most INCAPABLE Sport Utility ever - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Edgar Gonesh - February 3 - 10:00 amUnless you have money and time to waste I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. Besides numerous recalls this vehicle (or at least mine)is plagued with tons of failures ranging from window mechanism failures to complete engine failures. If you are in the market for an SUV go look somewhere else.

REALLY wanted to like it... but didnt - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By John Cash - October 30 - 5:07 amI really wanted to like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Having come from a similarly sized SUV that treated us well for 12 years, I really wanted to upgrade our technology and other features we didnt have. The dealer let me take the Jeep home for 24 hours to decide. Unfortunately the Jeep drives poorly -- it rolls severly in turns and is not quick or zippy like youd think given the engine. It also drives like a car much bigger than it is. It doesnt help that the steering wheel is incredibly thick. I dont know how any one would want to drive this day in and day out. Its really too bad because the Jeep does come with a TON of features and is a great value for what you get, from that aspect. And the Jeep LOOKS good. Recommendation is to really make sure youve given it a proper test drive before buying. I was *this* close to buying but decided to take the dealers offer to drive it for a day.

Do Not Buy This Vehicle - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By KCCraig - October 22 - 2:36 pmMajor issues with this vehicle. Ask a sales rep about choosing between an 04 or 05 and theyll tell you the new models are unreliable. The transmission on my vehicle has been serviced by the dealership 4 times. Grinds into gear, sluggish, and does not shift often. The indicators state an issue with the 4wd is present and flashes a warning often. Several dealerships were unable to fix the problem. As well, this vehicle gets absolutely no gas mileage. Approximately 12 MPG at best. Being 62", one might assume this vehicle would be large enough; however, Jeep has decreased the amount of headroom making this SUV very uncomfortable. As well, the seats give terrible backaches.

DONT DO IT!! - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By E.L. - July 9 - 9:47 amI was lured into buying American on this car. Seduced by the great styling, comfortable ride, and great road manners. Plus, made in the USA! What could be better? Traded my aged BMW that Id bought new ten years previously (no major issues), and entered into 3.5 years of automotive purgatory. This is the worst car Ive ever owned. Even beats out my wifes old 99 Audi A4. New engine at 9k miles, three headlights at $350 each, new entertainment system, back up camera replaced twice, $3000 wiring harness "rusted through", and on, and on. Two things convinced me to get rid of this car...driving along at 70mph on my way to work the truck just stopped running. Completely shut off. After I changed my underwear, I was able to make it to work. Second, I had to drain GALLONS of water out of my floorpans that just collected there for no apparent reason. Loved the dealer, but NEVER will buy a Jeep again. Traded it in on a Lexus. Very happy now. Be warned on this one.

Biggest Mistake Ive Ever Made - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Bumblebee - June 11 - 2:00 amThis had to be my worst car buying experience ever! Bought brand new and had nothing but trouble from the day I drove it off the lot. In and out of the shop. And dont believe their warranty lies either... read the fine print! The hood was not aligned correctly to begin with. After a couple thousand miles the brakes needed replacing and had to be replaced every 2 to 3 thousand miles. Transmission was a mess too. Resale value was the worst ever. Finally dumped this piece of junk. Dont ever buy a jeep... youll REGRET IT!!!!!

The worst Jeep I have ever owned - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Flyfish from MA - June 5 - 10:00 amThe worst Jeep I have ever owned, I went through 2 transmissions both of them siezed on me with only having 1600 miles on the car. And remember this is a 2003. Not very reliable is it? I didnt think so.

Auto transmission problems - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By RUSTY - May 23 - 6:20 pmIn November 2006 I purchased a used Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD. It only had 10,000 miles on it. I immediately began having problems with the automatic transmission with the following problems: (1) Needed a transmission control module; (2) clogged transmission filter; (3) leaking O rings and finally had to have the transmission replaced at 18,000 miles. The car left us stranded twice on the highway. The second time I thought the car would catch on fire. I will never purchase a Chrysler product again. I dont care what their warranty period is. This is the poorest quality on construction I have ever seen in an automobile.
