Overview & Reviews
Jeep expands the Grand Cherokee lineup for 2006 with the addition of a range-topping Overland trim level. It's been fitted with more standard luxury features and 5.7-liter V8. New standard features on all models include stability control and one-touch up-down front windows. Newly optional on the Laredo is the Quadra-Trac II four-wheel-drive system and an off-road package.
- Three available engines, excellent off-road ability, balanced handling, simple controls.
- Low-quality interior materials, small backseat, poor gas mileage with the big V8, ride can be bouncy over ruts.

expected more - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By not pleased - November 16 - 5:00 amWhen we first purchased I loved it. Now that my husband has bought a new larger truck, we have naoticed how loud the Jeep is. Also, the tires are poor quality and we have had our car in the shop twice in 1 month!!! First, we had a transmission leak and now the solanoaid in the transmission went out and the air conditioner went out at the same time. Mind you we only have 12,800 miles on the vehicle. If we had to do over again we would but looks like we are stuck with this vehicle for a few more years due to their resale value unless we get lucky and the vehicle is a lemon!!!

Very Very Disappointed! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Disappointed - April 17 - 1:30 amFor the money I spent I expected better quality. Had the jeep 3 yrs and after 8 months I frequently took it in for work. Tranny, suspension, even the steering rack went at 40k. The interior plastic is extremely cheap feeling which I knew from the start but as time went on it scratched at the lightest touch. The gas mileage also sucks. If you plan on having kids forget it. This is a very large car yet a child seat can not safely seat in the back. We had to keep the kids in my wifes lil 4 door until they were out of car seats. Pathetic. Lastly do not buy if you do any offroading. It did horribly and things broke easily. Im done with this car and am doing my best to rid it.

Never AGAIN! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Bethany - September 2 - 1:03 pmI bought this Jeep a few months ago and have had NOTHING but problems with it! I would be driving down the road and the jeep would just shut off. The next day it wouldnt speed up over 10 miles an hour. I have had it in the shop 3 times in 3 months! Chrysler keeps telling me they cant find anything wrong with it. Yeah,right they cant. I will NEVER buy another jeep again.

Do not buy a Jeep - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Eric Schuster - March 2 - 12:23 pmWe purchased this Jeep because my wife fell in love with it and we had a little one on the way. Guess what. I recently went to turn our baby seat front facing. It will not fit on right or left sides- has to be in the center. The headrests are NOT removable and at such an angle that they prevent the child seat from being installed at the right angle. Not to mention the gas mileage has been no better than 14.5 (mixed driving) and 15 hwy. Good news is that it does not seem to change if I am towing or not! I do not think cylinder deactivation works either. Also we have had so many wind leaks and noises. To sum it up- WHAT A MISTAKE! Poor engineering, high price and unsafe for my baby!
