  • Dangerous shifting lever - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Test the shifting lever which is electronic, when shifting from park to drive 90% of the time if goes to "N". When shifting from "D to "P" it will stop at "R" and if you are not careful and double check the shifter and try to turn the motor off prior to getting out the car will start moving backwards. The dealer tells me they all operate this way. I have owned many Jeep Cherokee over the years and this will be the last. Not good at all

  • All Time Favorite Mid-Size SUV - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The best mid-size SUV hands down. Ive put a lot of miles on a 2014 Grand Cherokee and the 2016 is much improved. The power steering doesnt make that whirring noise (yet!), the shifter is SO much better than the previous electronic version, its buttery smooth now. My only criticisms of the Grand Cherokee so far: The auto start/stop is not for everyone, there should be a way to disable it by default and not have to press the button on each start up. Its actually kind of safety hazard, I find myself making more rolling "California" stops so that I can avoid it from turning the engine off. No Apple CarPlay support, would love to see this supported on all Uconnect versions. They got rid of the dual exhaust, not a big deal but might be for some. They moved the backseat hand handles from the top roof to the front sides, not sure this was a great move seeing as the Grand Cherokee is more of a luxury SUV than off-road where you might need the forward handles.

  • 2016 Jeep Grand 4WD LMTD - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    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...

  • Great buy! - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is the second JEEP Laredo I have owned, however, the first Grand Cherokee. The ride is great and I am really enjoying the SUV as a car and an SUV. The interior and exterior are well designed, and I am pleased with the overall package. I am still learning how to use all of the features. I have the tow, safety, and off-road packages, as well as a sunroof. It is a great buy!

  • Victim of R1234vf Freon - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Unknown to me is the fact they changed to the new freon in the AC system. In Texas you have to have a strong AC. Instead of the coldest output air being 36-39 degrees, the best you get by factory definition is 44 degrees. I have a white exterior, tan interior, no sun roof. If it was all black with moon roof and five passengers, it would be unbearable at 100 degrees. There is no way a consumer knows unless you take along a thermometer when test driving. No cars reviews are ever given for climate controls. I just received a recall notice that due to a potential mfg defect, this model may be subject to an engine fire.

  • New car - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Ive only had the vehicle a month but so far Im pretty impressed. The interior looks high end, the ride is smooth. I love the overall look of the vehicle. Gas milage could be a little better and i think the engine is under powered i also hate the start/stop function. So far I really love car.

  • Compares nicely to more expensive competition - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I did a lot of research and reviewed Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Land Rover and Lexus online before narrowing things down to the Mercedes GLC and Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit due to number of factors including price, proximity to dealer, reviews, etc. My estimated budget was $50k. I test drove both cars and gave them both high marks. However, Jeep blew me away. It is a solid, quiet, well put together car with fit and finish as good as the Germans. While the Merc may have a slight edge on technology, ease of use goes to the Jeep. It is intuitive and requires little training to understand where all the controls are located. The Jeep is also a larger, more capable SUV than the Merc GLC which gives more flexibility. Value-wise, the Grand Cherokee Summit was several thousand less than the comparably equipped GLC and the dealer was willing to give me quite a bit more in trade than the Mercedes dealer. After a few weeks of owning the Jeep, I continue to be a happy owner. The car runs great and the 6 cylinder engine provides even more power and response than my previous Lincoln MKX 8 cylinder while getting around 22 mpg combined. I am also greatly enjoying the Harmon Kardon sound system that comes in the Summit version. One of the best factory installed car stereos Ive heard.

  • 75th anniversary 4wd - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Is absolutely love my Jeep GC. I have owned it for a month and absolutely love the ride quality and comfort. I am not a crossover person and wanted an SUV that is comfortable for commuting that also has 4wd capabilities. I couldnt be more excited with my JGC. The info tainment screen is very user friendly. As far as reliability goes time will tell. I always purchase a bumper to bumper warranty esp with all of the technology on todays cars.

  • This is Cherokee #6 - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This might be the best one yet. Very comfortable, rides better with the 18" wheels I think compared to the 20s, the gas mileage is no shock, its a hemi so it is what it is but on the highway I can get 22. Its still new only a few weeks but absolutely no issues at this point!
