Looking at one for just a daily car, with occasional long trips for 4.
Heard both good and bad on the Jeep line, what say you? |

My Jeep Liberty was garbage.
I assume Grand Cherokees are similar.

They are average or slightly below average in terms of reliability. So if reliability is important to you, I'd say no.
If you don't care about reliability, then go for it. |

 Attached File Attached FileSample size: 1 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Just rolled 200K miles Tuesday morning…normal scheduled maintenance since purchase. We bought the bumper-to-bumper warranty with it. Covers everything that’s not a normal wear item (breaks, light bulbs, et cetera). This warranty has paid for three coil packs, an exhaust manifold gasket, and two rear differentials. All I pay is a $100 co-pay when shit breaks…I plan on driving it until it literally burns on the side of the highway. If the new Jeeps came with the full warranty, I’d be tempted to move to a Grand Cherokee. The stopped the full warranty in 2020-ish, never to return. Good luck on your purchase, OP! |

I got a 23 GC and it's been great.

Re the new Grand Cherokee, IMHO if one wants to spend a good amount and get a really loaded example, the available tech is simply mind blowing. It's possible to get thermal vision on the very top lines. The only thing that kept me from jumping to it was the lack of the carry over of the 5.7 Hemi - the last time I shopped em the 3.6 was the largest engine available. I haven't kept up with em, so I have no idea if they are are putting the I6 twin turbo Hurricane in em yet. IMO, once they start outfitting the top dog versions with Hurricanes, they are gonna be some sweet ass beasts. ETA just checked the Jeep site and they are currently 4xe and ICE versions, and it looks like they have gone back to offering the top trims with the 5.7 Hemi. I dunno - maybe this is a stopgap for transitioning to the Hurricane. Anyhoo, IMHO a new one with a 5.7 would be a pretty sweet, capable vehicle. |

Going to look at one after work today...I don't keep vehicles around much beyond the factory warranty anyway, so I guess I shouldn't be super concerned about reliability too far down the road.

If you aren't going to keep it long, I'd consider depreciation. If selling within 3-5 years, most vehicles in this segment shouldn't vary too much, but it's worth looking at. |

Tons of electrical issues and we are starting to see the 3.6 (I think) engines come into the shop with blown head gaskets with less than 100k.

New Grand Cherokee is a nice vehicle. I prefer the L with the rear captain"s seats. I'm looking at buying a Cherokee L Altitude. The higher end trims get spendy quick.

Most of the 3.6 engine issues stem from the plastic oil filter housing. They have been known to crack and leak oil into the valley. This is usually caused by someone over torquing the oil filter cap. |

Pretty sure it has a blown head gasket. Has white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. |

Grand Cherokees are Jeep's bread and butter. They're good to go.
