Thanks for telling it as it is Greg. I kid you not, almost every Grand Cherokee that was booked in for a logbook service, had the owner complaining of a list of faults on the driveway. To the point where it was rare that a customer didn't have a list of issues they wished to add to their "service" the only ones that didn't were near new very low milage ones. These vehicles seem to be as reliable as a politicians promise, and around as expensive to fund.

I agree with you Greg. I really liked the jeep brand back in the 60s/70s when I first got my driver's license. They weren't perfect but they were so easy and affordable to work on. As for the brand today, the list of what's NOT wrong with Jeeps is a lot shorter than the list of what IS wrong with them.

Haha - summed up so well at the end. Yeah, that is very much the same thing many of the well known KZitem mechanics echo as well. On a crazy sidenote - did you see that the RamCharger electric truck they're making is going to have one of those 3.6L V6s in it as a "range extender"? Aye yi yi... that is a disaster waiting to happen.

Hey there, you helped me immensely with my first big car purchase. A 2009 CRV that at the time had 90k on it, I bought it from a single owner who bought it cash brand new and basically used it as a 95% highway commuter from his city to mine about 50 miles away. He literally showed me his paperwork as well as some recalls he had done to it, it was even kept in the garage haha

I am a Jeep tech and i only see these problems on people who don't maintain there cars . The molding that came off someone getting out of the car probably got there clothes caught on it . the only thing that i would agree is the oil filter housing starting to leak from the seals at high mileage and they can be replaced .

One of the hairdressers who works in the same building had a 2015(ish) Cherokee and nothing but issues. It was a piece of junk. Actually I have to edit my comment: I just remembered one of my buddies has a Renegade, and had the entire engine replaced on it under warranty.

Usually a manufacturer works out kinks 2-3 years after a new model is release and patches all the bugs. I'm really surprised that Chrysler didn't do anything about the rocker arms despite it being a bread and butter engine for them.

Your 💯right jeep Stellantis make some great looking vehicles but the reliability issues R just to much I looked @ the grand Cherokee trailhawk as it’s good off-road & towing I know someone that has one he loves it & the Ram 1500 but I was lucky not to be able to find a good 2021 model in Australia to try out so ended up with a ford ranger 2L biturbo 😎

So do Grand Cherokees have 9 speeds transmissions? And do you know what they hell you are talking about - also - how many 3.6L Pentastars are out there? I know this as a guy who did rocker rollers/lifters - but I'd almost consider that maintenance - I did it myself which is way cheaper than a shop - but then there is the timing chain vs belt conversation, my cams were fine so only roller rockers and lifters, $350 in parts to do it myself, and as for the oil filler issue - that is because shops over tighten the filter cap, and likely use an impact

They are riding on their legacy as a durable and easy to repair go anywhere vehicle when the modern Jeep models are nothing like the ones of the past. Mercedes Benz did this starting with the 2000 model year S class. It worked out for them in terms of sales. They have never sold as many cars as they do now. Most get junked before reaching 15 years or 150K miles. Maybe it will work out for Jeep like that too.
