  Diesel - - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By danreyer@gmail.com - July 25 - 12:52 am

  LOVE THE DIESEL. If you have ever driven a modern diesel you know what I am talking about. I purchased a 2016 Limited EcoDiesel in August and love it. Note that only the diesel comes with a factory 5yr 100,000 mile power train warranty. Gas models are less. Also not the engine does not shut down at traffic lights... Just know that maintenance costs are more ( i knew this going into the deal). Drove to the beach and got just over 32 mpgs.

  Great SUV - Not liking the Stop/Start function - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Sheryl - June 25 - 9:18 pm

  I recently leased two Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredos, one 2015 that I loved so much that I also leased a 2016 to replace our second car. I had leather seats placed in both which are much more comfortable than the cloth seats. Both the 2015 and 2016 are identical with the exception of the gear shift and the stop/start functionality, and back up camera on the 2016 model. I previously owned at 2000 Grand Cherokee and was pleased to see that these models are larger, steadier and roomier than the one I had before. The ride is very smooth. Cant say enough about how happy I am with this vehicle. I am likely to buy this out at the end of the lease if I remain this satisfied. I gave teh Grand Cherokee an overall score of 4 based on the start/stop function. I really hate this function, especially in the stop and go traffic here in Florida. It starts as soon as I take my foot off of the brake but with that, it still takes a second for it to start and take off. Overall when running, the V6 engine has sufficient pickup for me. I also felt that the led lights should be standard on all models of Grand Cherokee at this price base.

  Very disappointed - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Edmund K. - December 4 - 12:38 pm

  I had a Dodge Durango for a few years and since it was almost out of its extended warranty I figured get a new Jeep. What a mistake that was. After owning for only two weeks the car spent 11 days at a dealer for the following problems: Faulty paint on the spoiler, Extreme wind noise, clunk noise when going over speed bumps, clothing hanger loose & rattling. They repainted the spoiler, replaced the two front door rubber seals, a front & rear shocks were leaking so they replaced the front shock (rear shock is on extreme backorder, whatever that means because no one knows), replaced clothes hanger. Well, after 11 days at the dealer, the wind noise issue is not resolved as once I hit 50+ miles per hour, I cant hear anything inside the car and the clunk noise when going speed bumps is still there. I even made sure that the technician had driven over a bump to ensure the problem was actually the leaking shock. Im not sure how he couldnt hear the clunk as its as loud as it can be. So, now I have to go back to the dealer and leave my car for God knows how many more days there. Now the headrests on both seats have started rattling every time going over rough road. I havent even made my first payment yet and Im already disgusted with the car. Update: took the vehicle back to the dealer. It sat there for another 5 days (now total of 16 days at dealer). Apparently it were the two front shocks leaking & not the rear, bad communication from the service adviser. They replaced the second front shock. Clunk noise is still there. Technician couldnt replicate the wind noise, so we took a ride and then he heard how loud it was and agreed it wasnt normal. Next step is to wait for a Chrysler representative to come out, test drive the car and do a cabin pressurizing test to see where the air is leaking from (Im not sure how you can pressurize a cabin when there are so many vents located all over). This keeps getting better and better. 2nd Update: Vehicle back at the dealer. The clunk noise is still there. Took a ride with the technician and went over small bumps at about 5 miles per hour and you could hear the noise. His suggestion: driver over them slower!!!!!!!!!! I suggested maybe I should get out of the car & push it over the speed bump. After all arent Jeeps suppose to be off-road vehicles and yet they cant handle a small shopping center speed bump. The wind noise still there, apparently the technician made the whole thing up about a Chrysler representative coming out and doing the whole pressurizing the cabin thing, because according to the service manger that never happens and Chrysler reps never come out. So, now Im back in my cheap piece of junk, dirty loaner car for the 3rd time this month, crossing my fingers that they will actually fix these problems on a car that I paid well over $40k for.

  I love my Jeep!!!! - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jennifer - June 19 - 8:36 am

  I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition at the Beaver County Auto Mall in Monaca PA. I absolutely love the leather and walnut finish interior. The outside is sleek and eye catching. It performs well and is good on gas mileage. I was in the market for a Wrangler but preferred the smooth driving of a Grand Cherokee. Would highly recommend!!

  One month and 1100 miles into my 16 JGC - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By MDRRI - May 14 - 10:40 am

  Cant comment on reliability because its still new. However, the driving experience is fantastic. I traded a 2013 200 convertible with the 3.6-litre Pentastar. Its a sweet engine, and its even better with the 8-speed transmission behind it. Im averaging 20-21 MPG with short freeway runs and some around-town puttering. Thats much better than I expected, and not much worse than the 200. I bought it from an out-of-state dealership and drove it 450 miles home from the showroom (averaged 25 MPG on that run with speeds between 65 and 70 MPH - great for a brand new engine). Its a fantastic road-trip car. Comfortable, nearly silent on the highway, firm and supportive front seats with plenty of leg room, and an overall feeling of confidence and stability. This thing has all the hallmarks of a luxury car. The 8.4 uConnect with Nav is easy to operate and the big screen makes changing settings easy. The voice recognition works well, too. Minor quibbles: I wish the wiper control was on a stalk on the right side of the steering column - a quick flick of the finger for a mist wipe is easier than a twist of the turn signal lever; I would like the steering wheel to telescope out further as I like to sit way back (I can still be comfortable, but I would be more comfortable with the steering wheel a bit closer). The base audio system is not bad, though I have ordered Focals from Crutchfield to upgrade the speakers. All said and done, this is a great vehicle - comfortable, solid-feeling, and reasonably economical considering its capabilities. I believe it holds its own as far as features, comfort, and roadability when compared to high-end SUVs costing thousands more, which makes it a bargain. What remains to be seen is how it holds up over time. So far, so good, but its still brand new. If it turns out to be reliable I will keep it until the wheels fall off. I have owned Chrylser vehicles for many years and theyve all been great, so I have hope for this one. Update at two months and 3300 miles. MPG is up to 27 on road trips with the cruise control set at 75 and the AC cranking. Still averaging 21-22 puttering around suburbia. It seems the AC could be a little more powerful - my only complaint. Still loving my JGC!

  MARCH TO THE SUMMIT - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Michael Mangone - April 24 - 3:42 am

  So I looked at about every SUV out there and anything that came close to the Summit in terms of the quality and quantity of features was significantly higher in price and also imported. The only other candidate I really liked was the Explorer and it really could have gone either way. The color combination of the Summit as well as the overall reputation of the Jeep brand was really what pushed it over the top. This one was the premium white with the sienna brown interior. I only wish that this vehicle came with the V8 option at less than extortionate pricing. The V6 pulls and runs really well but there is nothing like the grunt of the Hemi. That being said it wasnt worth another $5,500.00 being added to an already fairly significant sticker price. So far I absolutely love the vehicle and dont yet have one thousand miles on it. There is a long way to go.

  Jumpy Jeep - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Kim Kinna - May 6 - 2:50 am

  I have owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the past and was looking forward to loving this one. The interior was fine, nothing special, and the ride was much rougher than expected. Overall, this Jeep felt like the same old Jeep with a few cosmetic changes. Hopefully the newly redesigned model will be much improved.
