My 2013 Jeep GC limited v-6, all wheel drive, has 165,000 miles and is still going strong. Oil cooler and radiator replaced at 150,000 miles. shocks and struts replaced at 155,000 miles. Other than routine maintenance, that is all my GC has needed since purchasing it new in August 2012.
I've got the same 2013 model Jeep GC. I've been told the radiator needs replaced (common problem, apparently, which should be a recall item, imo.) and the rack and pinion system. And that was at 30k and 40k respectively. Of course, the warranty was long over then, too. Although, I've not had any problems with the radiator OR the rack causing a failure in the power steering. In fact, I've been checking my ps fluid level since they told me it was leaking and it hasn't gone down at all. NOR has this thing ever leaked anything but condensation from the AC. So, I'm suspecting some shady practices at my local dealer. I'm not happy about these impending repairs at such low mileage, but I still want to get another JGC, for some reason. Even with it's problems and mediocre gas mileage, it's just a nice looking, comfortable, good driving vehicle.
2014 grand Cherokee limited rwd version. 137k miles, Replaced oil cooler with Dorman unit, highly recommend aluminum Dorman unit. Dorman aluminum coolant crossover pipe to replace yet another plastic pièces. Trans fluid and filter done at 75k and 135k Diff fluid done at 115k Spark plugs done at 80k and 135k. Coil packs at 135k. Can bus unit replaced at100k cost 700. Condenser unit replaced cost450. Full synthetic mobile one with liqui moly ceratech. Only pump 93 octane. I drive it like I’m in a nascar race and the 3.6 loves to rev high. Makes most of the power at the top end 4K to 6.5k rpm. Looking to get the ripp supercharger to double the power. The v6 pentastar is well made with FORGED connecting rods. You read correctly. Forged. Crankshaft has never broken on engines boosted 300+ hp over stock. Incredible engine. Only problem I’ve heard which is not common are overheating of valve seats causing valve failure so since I drive it hard I use highest octane gas . Most normal driving will be fine with lowest octane. At transmission out of Germany is very reliable. Just don’t buy the lie of the lifetime fluid. Lab results show transmission fluid friction coefficient drops significantly after 45k miles of use. Diff fluid last a really long time maybe 100k+ miles but I like to baby my jeep. Pirelli tires all round, very sticky and amazing in rain. Extremely quiet as well. Replaced rotors and pads at110k. Pcv valve replaced at 135k. Valve cover gaskets replaced(no leak just preventative). Love this car so much that I rather supercharge the engine rather than buy a new one with a v8 because 1. V6 supercharged is faster with 38mpg. And 2. They wk2 GC 2014-2018 are the most well are and nicest quality and design ever made by jeep Chrysler stelantis. The new one feels more plasticy. New gc is nice but nothing can replace my 2014 gc . My most loved car. Only a Porsche Cayman gts interests me but the price tag is outrageous for seemingly the same quality of my GC therefore it is the perfect car.
Mine has 116k on it. Bought it from Carmax with 32k miles. It’s been great, and it still looks brand new. We had the oil leak problem he mentions (oil cooler)... originally they said this was due to over tightening the oil filter, but by the time we had it done they were covering this as a defect, even out of warranty, so it cost us nothing. And they redesigned the part, so once it’s fixed it shouldn’t be an issue again. It’s been a great vehicle for us.
ha, I JUST experienced that! I like many things about the Laredo model (I can get a new 2020 for under $30K)...but I don't want to have to repair the oil filter assembly for $700! And get 16-18 mpg overall. This vehicle is no longer on my list of vehs I want to look into owning.
I too live in n.j. and own this same year, trim, and color Jeep. I am a review guy, I respect other peoples opinions. However, I bought the 14 Limited anyway. Why?! Everyone that I fish with has this vehicle. It is great on the beach, traveling from NJ to North Carolina, the gas mileage is good, drives like a car. I fish everywhere, and have tons of gear. I sleep in the Jeep on longer trips, it's awesome. Back seats forward, air mattress on one side, gear on the other. I have 67k miles, never 1 problem. I recommend the 2014 Limited Grand Cherokee. This make model year and trim has all the same bells and whistles as the 2018 for alot less money! Best SUV I've owned, compared to Explorer, Edge it's far superior. I truly love it.
I’ve owned 4 grand Cherokee and never a engine issue or any oil leaking. Don’t let one review change your mind. They are great vehicles and currently the number one selling suv
Have a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee, base model. I have 180,000 mi on it. I bought the lifetime warranty. Beside the recalls, I have had very little trouble with this vehicle. Radiator replaced under warranty and a thermostat replacement. I just now need to replace the brakes. The 3.6l has been great, no leaks or noise from the engine. This is a jeep and the ride is not smooth and can get tiring on a long trip. Overall, with proper maintenance this can be a good vehicle.
How do you take care or maintained your Jeeps? I'm curious because I'm planning to buy my first Jeep but what's stopping me are the reliability issues I read online. I love their beautiful designs and I really want to get one. Is there an specific way we need to take care of the Jeep so it last longer?
@@Cyberman86 I’ve had no issues with mine and I have the exact same vehicle as the guy in the vid. It now has 93k. I follow factory-recommended maintenance exactly as the manual says it. It’s not a secret. Just follow the maintenance schedule in the back of the manual and do everything it says to do, even if you don’t think it needs it. Change oil every 5 k with full synthetic with filter. Coolant every 15k miles. Transmission, differential, and transfer case every 24k miles. Spark plugs every 96k. Tire rotations. Brake bleedings. Air filters. Etc.
I have a 2015 JEEP GC Limited, but I have the 5.7 Liter V8 HEMI Engine and have had mine since it was brand new for 5 years. I have never had any problems with my vehicle and I have 61, 000 miles on it. It drives great and is very fast. Gas mileage isn’t the best. I get about 17 in the city and 23-24 on the Hwy. It has really been a great vehicle with no oil leaks or anything thus far. I had to replace the tires at 40,000 miles, and took it in once or twice for a couple of recall items, otherwise all is well.
Great review, I bought a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 altitude package for my wife, it's going to be almost 2 years since we bought it. So far it has 15k miles, and thank God, we haven't had any issues with it like most people say. Just hope that it can last us 100k without any major problems!!!
The Grand Cherokees that come with the 3.6 V6 is the only engine that has an oil filter housing, if you get one with the 5.7 hemi or above you have a normal filter. Have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with close to 75k on it, it’s been great and have only done maintenance
Sai Vemuri Just follow and keep up on your regular maintenance and you’ll be fine, I fill mine with premium fuel and do notice better overall performance although it’s not required. Don’t baby it all the time, it wants to get up and go so don’t be afraid to get on it from time to time. I hope you enjoy it!
We have a 2015 JGC with the Pentastar 3.6L V6. Common problems: (1) leaky plastic oil coolers, (2) leaky hydraulic motor mounts, (3) thermostat failure, (4) faulty rocker arms that wear out. We have experienced all these failures except for the rocker arms. If you haven't already done so, I'd replace all of them with upgraded aftermarket parts (if possible) after your JGC reaches high mileage -- 100k or more. After 140k miles, we also had a fuel injector failure despite getting the dealership's pricey fuel injector cleaning service the year before. Looking back, after 100k miles, I'd just replace the injectors. I've heard from others that they are bound to fail. Better to treat them as a maintenance item than wait for them to fail when you're far from home (which is what happened to us).
You’ll be fine, that’s what warranty is for. I have one and have many family members with them and they’ve all been really great over the last 5-6 years
Seriously! I'm browsing the Carmax website looking at Jeep Grand Cherokee models as of this post. I want one as well, though I am concerned about reliability. I might get a base V6 4x4 with a good warranty to lower my risk LOL
Ive owned one, my fiance owns one, and I currently drive a new Jeep wrangler. You will be fine. We have all had very good luck with Jeep vehicles. You have to remember, people only review a car when something bad happens.
I have a 2014 upgraded with xenon and led the lights are fantastic. 75k now. Recommend if you keep your jeep for long term invest in an extended warranty plan. Love this vehicle and ride is fantastic but I know with American made in Mexico there is likely going to be maintenance. But I think luxury of this is as good or better than most European models for much less cost so don't mind paying for extended warranty. Also great towing weight to pull boats and campers.
Crazy that a cheap part that eventually fails because of required use should be covered by the owner. Brakes and such yeah, but the item needed for the oil filter shouldn’t be failing after several years.
The sunroof is a option on the limited model. My 2015 limited did not have the sunroof I choose instead to get the 20 inch rim upgrade instead of sunroof. That V6 is a great engine maybe I just been lucky but I haven’t had any engine issues with the 4 I’ve owned. I did have minor fixes covered by warranty but nothing major that wouldn’t happen in any other brand. The 4x4 is excellent I used to live in NJ and never got stuck once. We now live in Florida so our 2019s are both 2WD. I can tell you they do hold their value and sell quick especially the used ones for people looking who maybe can’t afford a new one. I traded my wife’s 2015 altitude model in which had 85k miles at the time and still got $18k for it. A year later I traded in my 2015 limited and still got the same $18k for it. Both vehicles were sold within a week of trade in. As far as the oil filter leaking...I never had any issues...both my 2015 never leaked and all oil changes were done at dealer...my dad has a 2015 and does all oil changes himself and never leaked. One thing I can say is it’s not a traditional filter it’s the long cone shape one and you have to be sure it comes with the new ring seal and make sure to change that every time if not it could possibly leak.
Great comments, thanks for sharing. I believe we traded this 2014 model for $18k. Check out my videos on our new 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 1 year Review of that, posting next week
Glenns Car Collection will do. I’m patiently waiting to see what the next generation will look like...hope they don’t ruin it. I’m already not thrilled with the 4 cylinder turbo most likely being the base engine.
Thanks, I watched both your videos on the Grand Cherokee. I enjoyed your personal experience with the Jeep. I'm thinking about buying one. I don't really need something that big, but the cost difference for a Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee make the Grand Cherokee more attractive (for us). I'm looking at getting a 2020 Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited. They are going for around $37,000 after discounts. Currently we use a CRV.
Nice vid. I’ve had the same SUV (but 2015) for about a year. I live in NH, so like you I have to warm it up a lot in the winter. But, in the summer I’m getting 21-22 mpg (mix city and highway). The one thing I HATE is the gear shifter.
Nice review!! I'm always fascinated with other people's perspectives from other parts of the country. Having spent my entire life mostly out west (Mountain & Pacific time zones) I can't imagine living in New Jersey. Over the last 20 years, it seems we've always had a Suburban or two parked in our driveway. We keep them and put a lot of miles on them anywhere from 200-300k. We've only had one that needed anything major and that was a transmission at about 200k miles. Still have it and it has 280k now, although the oil & transmission cooler lines are leaking and need to be fixed. Thus why I found your channel we are looking at a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with ~90k miles. If we purchase this, my hope is that we can get another 100k relatively problem-free miles out of it. Do you know of many people that are driving these around with 200k+ miles? Thanks!
I think the 5.7 V8 is more reliable the the Pentastar V6 ! With that said, a friend has a 2017 Summit with 90K / Kms on it with no issues other then some parking sensors / paint issues !
The pentastar has proven to be a really good engine and its way improved after the 2016 model. What goes wrong in it is usually peripherals. The engine is an engine to take a lot of care of. Routine maintenance, change your fluids every so often, and it will go and go.
Really good reviews as you pointed out the common problem and Jeep needs to address these issue if they need new customer coz am skeptical about its issues other than that I like its exterior specially the new limited X
@@GlennsCarCollection Oh, great to know. Well hope you guys like it and enjoy it, and thanks for replying back. Hope you make some videos of your new SUV!!!!.
Depends on previous usage and ownership, but I personally have a 2014 Laredo with 105,000 and have had no issues besides regular maintenance. I've also put a lot of care into the car to keep it for the long term
Me & my wife have owned nine 4 runners & nine grand cherokees. We enjoy both brands. I perform all service & repairs on them. As far as reliability issues, one is no better than the other if there take care of properly. I will say that the quality of Toyota is become pretty poor as far as exterior body & interior all around. What miner parts I’ve had to purchase over the years for the 4 runners are stupid in price. If we take a trip into town, we take the 4 runner. If we take a long road trip its the GC no question. Ride quality, pennistar power plant, all around interior comfort & convenience features. The 4 runner doesn’t compare & with a $10,000 plus price tag over the GC. And for the oil fill housing breaking & leaking on the GC? It clearly says 27NM on the cap which is 18FT Lbs. I’ve changed oil in our GCs since 2013 with this oil filter housing & have never had a problem. One of the simplest oil changes you can ask to perform, if you should be doing it in the first place...
My tired eyes can see what year it is. I have. 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite started with 8 miles just now roll 50k 3 years 2 months I have all kinds of modifications mostly LED lighting added quite a few extra horns and have I got some issues with some of that are you kidding me still doing it design flaws
The one in this video is a 2014. 3 years ago we replaced it with a 2019 Grand Cherokee Limited. Please check out those videos and I will have a wrap up video coming up on the 2019 now that the lease is ending.
I’m looking at a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland summit with 101,500 for $14,999. Black with that nice brown leather. What do u think about that? I want it
You paid 20k for the Jeep Grand Cherokee limited when it was released in 2014 & now its 2022 & Telegraph price for them is still 20k how ???? After 5 yrs the car value goes down it should be around 10k
Brake job in the 30,000s? Oil leak? And this guy LIKES his Jeep. My Toyota Corolla didnt need new brakes until 120,000. Has 156,000 now, never leaks a drop of oil. How Chrysler stays in business, I have no idea!
I did brakes at 100k with my civic... However we are driving compact cars... All that is different. Really light cars. However 30 k is a bit strange but that being said 60k in 5 years isn't a lot of driving. A lot of daily drivers would have some more mikes on the vehicle.
lol getting your brake pads done at 30k vs 100k is most likely due to the way he drives / weight of the vehicles. That's normal maintenance and honestly can't be used to reflect reliability
Hi Keisha, thank you for subscribing to my channel. More Jeep Grand Cherokee videos to come. It was repaired at Jeep of Ramsey, though any Jeep dealer should be qualified to repair it.
@@GlennsCarCollection I am having a leak problem and I’m at the 60,000 mile mark. One mechanic told me it is the engine oil cooler. I want to get someone else to look at it to be sure. I will try my local Jeep dealers . Thanks again. Looking forward to future videos.
Many problems with these cars and getting worse.... try a Toyota and you will never go back. I will never own anything else and feel smarter for making the switch.. those repairs are so silly to have to do that new...
I have a 2018 Limited V6. I live in Colorado, gas over here is about $2,49 per gallon. I spend usually between $50-$55 to fill up. Premium gas is not necessary, regular is recommended.
Hi! Have you had any issues with the transmission?? or do you know anyone that had issues with it? especially with the 2014 and 2015 models I´ve read a lot of bad reviews on the transmission. I want to buy one used with 40K miles on it, but all those reviews are making me consider it twice. I am looking forward for your answer. GREAT CONTENT BTW
@@franciscobarahona964 I'm in the proccess of buying a 2014 jeep grand cherokee overland and lots of the earlier 2014-2015 reviews are complaints about that. There was a recall sometime in 2015 on the transmission. I'm thinking all of the early bugs with the JGC's a fixed since it's been over 6~ years.
does any one know if they addressed that issue with the plastic part that leaked oil over time? i am looking at a 2016 but that issue sounds like a problem i don't want to deal with lol.
@@GlennsCarCollection So, you invested in another Grant Cherokee? I wonder if they changed the oil filter housing to where it will not do what your old GC did. That should not happen. And what kind of headlights are on your newer 2019? I'm "thinking' about getting a more basic 2020 Laredo E and it has just the halogen projectors. I like that it is rear wheel drive like a truck and it will be my truck for all practical purposes (a regular truck is just NOT practical for us).
I have 2020 Summit, I enjoy driving it although it is a v6 pentastar. only issue is once you push hard on acceleration for more than 30 seconds, bad burning smell will prevents you from breathing. But, honestly for normal driving you don't need more than 50% acceleration
Nick Cruz I have an altitude model and it is great. The difference with each models are the luxury. The orden I got have the 9 speaker stereo system and sunroof. The seats are black suede.
Glenns Car Collection 😂 Just FYI Glenn my wife and I had a Grand Cherokee Laredo 04 with a 4.7 V8 drove it over 200k never put a dime in it other than maintenance .. sold it 3 years ago it’s still driving around... JEEP 10 thumbs up 👍👍👍
I have had a thing for GCs but the horrible reliability makes me run for the hills. Why the Effin eff would you put a plastic housing o it would crack and leak? It is the same deal with BMWs and their plastic engine parts. I think that people are also to blame who don’t boycott such crap from Germans, Land Rover and FIAT.
Glenns Car Collection that should be a free repair every time. I wonder how many other components in the car were affected from this known faulty design. I had saw some of the 2011 and 2012 models from $9000 to $12000 used. They have between 125000km to 150000 km on them. Should I go for them? Or should I go for a different year altogether?
@@Toddtoddy78 If you don't mind your air bags going off when they're not supposed to or your throttle sticking wide open and have Toyota try to blame the floor mats.
60K Miles in 5 years?! LOL, I won't waste my time watching this LOL, you may as well be reviewing a brand new car... Sorry for being a jerk, I really did chuckle. Round here we get 15K plus a year, I put 26K on my Jeep in 10 and 1/2 months in 2019. At 60K a car should not need anything major. Hell maybe I should watch, my Jeep is in need of 4K in lifter repairs. I think I hate FCA motors.
5 years & 60,000 miles is considered long term? You've obviously never lived in the Toyota Universe. Toys are just getting broken in at 60k. The REAL question should be.... Would You buy this Car at 60,000 miles? Another useless review.
You must have the attention span of a gnat. The entire 8 minutes of the video was full of valuable information. You probably waste 8 minutes scrolling mindlessly on social media, day in and day out smh.
It's an off road focused suspension. Try comparing it to a Range Rover. It's the same deal. The SRT and TrackHawk are performance focused and are very well controlled in aggressive maneuvers.

We have experienced all these failures except for the rocker arms. If you haven't already done so, I'd replace all of them with upgraded aftermarket parts (if possible) after your JGC reaches high mileage -- 100k or more.
After 140k miles, we also had a fuel injector failure despite getting the dealership's pricey fuel injector cleaning service the year before. Looking back, after 100k miles, I'd just replace the injectors. I've heard from others that they are bound to fail. Better to treat them as a maintenance item than wait for them to fail when you're far from home (which is what happened to us).
Thank you for the comment! Great advice!
I want one of these but I’m terrified of the bad reviews. It’s my favorite looking suv.
I think you will be fine. Try to get one with a warranty
You’ll be fine, that’s what warranty is for. I have one and have many family members with them and they’ve all been really great over the last 5-6 years
I relate to this so much. I want one so bad but the reviews aren’t fantastic
Seriously! I'm browsing the Carmax website looking at Jeep Grand Cherokee models as of this post. I want one as well, though I am concerned about reliability. I might get a base V6 4x4 with a good warranty to lower my risk LOL
Ive owned one, my fiance owns one, and I currently drive a new Jeep wrangler. You will be fine. We have all had very good luck with Jeep vehicles. You have to remember, people only review a car when something bad happens.
In Russia we have such a jeep grand cherokee wk2 3.6 engine mileage 565 thousand km without problems
Excellent, good to know
I have a 2014 upgraded with xenon and led the lights are fantastic. 75k now. Recommend if you keep your jeep for long term invest in an extended warranty plan. Love this vehicle and ride is fantastic but I know with American made in Mexico there is likely going to be maintenance. But I think luxury of this is as good or better than most European models for much less cost so don't mind paying for extended warranty. Also great towing weight to pull boats and campers.
Good to know!
2016 limited v6... so far i love it had it for close to 3 yrs 2nd owner
Cool, enjoy it !
Whats the actual mileage?
Gerardo Cardenas 64k so far
Is it still reliable, do u recommend it, I'm planning to get one
Skip to ….3.00......….where he actually starts the 60K review.
thank you
Thanks
Thanks, but next time link the time 3:00 for us lazies 😘
Crazy that a cheap part that eventually fails because of required use should be covered by the owner. Brakes and such yeah, but the item needed for the oil filter shouldn’t be failing after several years.
Good point
The sunroof is a option on the limited model. My 2015 limited did not have the sunroof I choose instead to get the 20 inch rim upgrade instead of sunroof. That V6 is a great engine maybe I just been lucky but I haven’t had any engine issues with the 4 I’ve owned. I did have minor fixes covered by warranty but nothing major that wouldn’t happen in any other brand. The 4x4 is excellent I used to live in NJ and never got stuck once. We now live in Florida so our 2019s are both 2WD. I can tell you they do hold their value and sell quick especially the used ones for people looking who maybe can’t afford a new one. I traded my wife’s 2015 altitude model in which had 85k miles at the time and still got $18k for it. A year later I traded in my 2015 limited and still got the same $18k for it. Both vehicles were sold within a week of trade in. As far as the oil filter leaking...I never had any issues...both my 2015 never leaked and all oil changes were done at dealer...my dad has a 2015 and does all oil changes himself and never leaked. One thing I can say is it’s not a traditional filter it’s the long cone shape one and you have to be sure it comes with the new ring seal and make sure to change that every time if not it could possibly leak.
Great comments, thanks for sharing. I believe we traded this 2014 model for $18k. Check out my videos on our new 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 1 year Review of that, posting next week
Glenns Car Collection will do. I’m patiently waiting to see what the next generation will look like...hope they don’t ruin it. I’m already not thrilled with the 4 cylinder turbo most likely being the base engine.
Thanks, I watched both your videos on the Grand Cherokee. I enjoyed your personal experience with the Jeep. I'm thinking about buying one. I don't really need something that big, but the cost difference for a Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee make the Grand Cherokee more attractive (for us). I'm looking at getting a 2020 Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited. They are going for around $37,000 after discounts. Currently we use a CRV.
Go for it!
Jeep did their homework with this vehicle..it’s a good reliable suv. Just follow through with the maintenance intervals and you’ll be good to go..👍🏽🔥
Just bought a 2014 with a Hemi 101135 runs excellent!
Nice ! congrats !
Thanks for the review. We are looking for a new family SUV and will definitely check this one out
Check out the IIHS ratings first especially for this vehicle.
Nice vid. I’ve had the same SUV (but 2015) for about a year. I live in NH, so like you I have to warm it up a lot in the winter. But, in the summer I’m getting 21-22 mpg (mix city and highway). The one thing I HATE is the gear shifter.
yeah, that is address in the 2019 model (we just bought one) Video review coming soon
Nice review!! I'm always fascinated with other people's perspectives from other parts of the country. Having spent my entire life mostly out west (Mountain & Pacific time zones) I can't imagine living in New Jersey. Over the last 20 years, it seems we've always had a Suburban or two parked in our driveway. We keep them and put a lot of miles on them anywhere from 200-300k. We've only had one that needed anything major and that was a transmission at about 200k miles. Still have it and it has 280k now, although the oil & transmission cooler lines are leaking and need to be fixed. Thus why I found your channel we are looking at a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with ~90k miles. If we purchase this, my hope is that we can get another 100k relatively problem-free miles out of it. Do you know of many people that are driving these around with 200k+ miles? Thanks!
Great comment! I am sure there are plenty with 200k miles.
I think the 5.7 V8 is more reliable the the Pentastar V6 ! With that said, a friend has a 2017 Summit with 90K / Kms on it with no issues other then some parking sensors / paint issues !
Good to hear
I have 190000 miles with the v6 and no problems
The pentastar has proven to be a really good engine and its way improved after the 2016 model. What goes wrong in it is usually peripherals. The engine is an engine to take a lot of care of. Routine maintenance, change your fluids every so often, and it will go and go.
Love this video, really informative..I'm planning to buy one..
Glad it was helpful!. I will have a 4 year review coming out in a few weeks of my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am editing it now
Love you vids bro,keep going!don't give up✌️
Thanks ! and thank you for subscribing to my channel. Check out the 500 videos i have on this channel
Great review. Was on the fence about getting one. I think I’ll jump off and get it in the near future.
Cool, check out my reviews of our 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
You won’t regret it! It’s a great vehicle to own!👍🏽🔥
Really good reviews as you pointed out the common problem and Jeep needs to address these issue if they need new customer coz am skeptical about its issues other than that I like its exterior specially the new limited X
How much is that oil cap you were referring to did you say several hundred dollars or $700
Sorry, I don't remember, I filmed that video 3 years ago
I’m considering the new look 2022 grand Cherokee, I hope it’s price is reasonable
Me to, our lease on our 2019 JGC is up next year
Yeah it's gonna set you back at least 60k or more for the 2022 big money😂🤣🤣😂
Great choice
Thanks for the review and greetings from Ukraine!
Can you please do an update of your Grand Cherokee V6 soon???
Hi Sergio, we sold it for a 2019 Grand Cherokee V6
@@GlennsCarCollection Oh, great to know. Well hope you guys like it and enjoy it, and thanks for replying back. Hope you make some videos of your new SUV!!!!.
Glenns Car Collection it is great to know that you have changed your old jgc to a new one..sounds that you like it really;)
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is going to be a complete redesign. You should wait and see what it has to offer before you decide on a new car!
Thanks for this! Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Would you recommend buying a 14 Laredo with 100,000 miles on it? The price is pretty good
Depends on previous usage and ownership, but I personally have a 2014 Laredo with 105,000 and have had no issues besides regular maintenance. I've also put a lot of care into the car to keep it for the long term
Me & my wife have owned nine 4 runners & nine grand cherokees. We enjoy both brands. I perform all service & repairs on them. As far as reliability issues, one is no better than the other if there take care of properly. I will say that the quality of Toyota is become pretty poor as far as exterior body & interior all around. What miner parts I’ve had to purchase over the years for the 4 runners are stupid in price. If we take a trip into town, we take the 4 runner. If we take a long road trip its the GC no question. Ride quality, pennistar power plant, all around interior comfort & convenience features. The 4 runner doesn’t compare & with a $10,000 plus price tag over the GC. And for the oil fill housing breaking & leaking on the GC? It clearly says 27NM on the cap which is 18FT Lbs. I’ve changed oil in our GCs since 2013 with this oil filter housing & have never had a problem. One of the simplest oil changes you can ask to perform, if you should be doing it in the first place...
Great comment. thanks for sharing. We like the 4 Runners as well and have rented them on vacation
My tired eyes can see what year it is.
I have. 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite started with 8 miles just now roll 50k 3 years 2 months
I have all kinds of modifications mostly LED lighting added quite a few extra horns and have I got some issues with some of that are you kidding me still doing it design flaws
The one in this video is a 2014. 3 years ago we replaced it with a 2019 Grand Cherokee Limited. Please check out those videos and I will have a wrap up video coming up on the 2019 now that the lease is ending.
My 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is about to hit 60,000 miles…is it necessary to get the 60,000 mile service?
If you plan to keep the car long term, yes. Cheap insurance
@@GlennsCarCollection What should I get done now that I’ve hit 60k miles?
Good review… thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I’m looking at a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland summit with 101,500 for $14,999. Black with that nice brown leather. What do u think about that? I want it
Get a pre-purchase inspection, if it passes, you should be fine
Glenns Car Collection thanks
You paid 20k for the Jeep Grand Cherokee limited when it was released in 2014 & now its 2022 & Telegraph price for them is still 20k how ???? After 5 yrs the car value goes down it should be around 10k
I paid $40k bought it new in 2014. Sold it for $20k in 2019
Never seen a V6 with dual exhaust on a JGC before.
Depends on the model, cheaper models have single exhaust, and when you have dual, it is true dual not that 2 pipes out of 1 muffler fake stuff.
It's the Limited, not the base model
C
Ocyqllp щлоддлжж
donna lopez so it actually has two exhaust systems instead of two mufflers? Ok Donnaaa😂
2014 was the only year that got duel exhaust with the v6
You look and sound just like Jason Bateman...
Ozarks
I thought that same thing
Is it still reliable, do u recommend it, I'm planning to get one
I sold out 2014 just after 60k miles, Lots of leaks, expensive to repair. We replaced it with a 2019 which has been flawless.
Looks good in blue
it sure does
I don’t know how much you love sunroofs
I don't mind them in daily drivers, but I do't like them in sports cars. More weight up high, raises the center of gravity
Brake job in the 30,000s? Oil leak? And this guy LIKES his Jeep. My Toyota Corolla didnt need new brakes until 120,000. Has 156,000 now, never leaks a drop of oil. How Chrysler stays in business, I have no idea!
its no Toyota, that's for sure
I did brakes at 100k with my civic... However we are driving compact cars... All that is different. Really light cars. However 30 k is a bit strange but that being said 60k in 5 years isn't a lot of driving. A lot of daily drivers would have some more mikes on the vehicle.
lol getting your brake pads done at 30k vs 100k is most likely due to the way he drives / weight of the vehicles. That's normal maintenance and honestly can't be used to reflect reliability
Hi have you ever had the transmission fluid changed ?
Looks good. Did you use it to tow trailer?
I have not but I have friends that do and it is very capable
Glenn thanks for this video. Where in NJ did you have the oil leak repair done may I ask?
Hi Keisha, thank you for subscribing to my channel. More Jeep Grand Cherokee videos to come. It was repaired at Jeep of Ramsey, though any Jeep dealer should be qualified to repair it.
@@GlennsCarCollection I am having a leak problem and I’m at the 60,000 mile mark. One mechanic told me it is the engine oil cooler. I want to get someone else to look at it to be sure. I will try my local Jeep dealers . Thanks again. Looking forward to future videos.
@keisha Holley it is the engine oil cooler
Many problems with these cars and getting worse.... try a Toyota and you will never go back. I will never own anything else and feel smarter for making the switch.. those repairs are so silly to have to do that new...
Only problem with Toyota is that their engineers don't believe in comfort, style, and the fun of driving a car.
OK, and how many recalls did you have?
a couple, don't remember how many
If you don’t mind me asking, how much do you spend filling the gas tank ? And what kinda of gas do you usually put, regular or premium?
I have a 2018 Limited V6. I live in Colorado, gas over here is about $2,49 per gallon. I spend usually between $50-$55 to fill up. Premium gas is not necessary, regular is recommended.
Regular gas and I think the gas tank was about 20 gallons or so. To fill tank will depend what gas costs in your area
Great comment,. thank you
Glenns Car Collection just purchased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee so thanks so much for the info, it really helped with my decision
Gas is $3.77-$4.11 here :’) *cries in Californian*
Hi!
Have you had any issues with the transmission?? or do you know anyone that had issues with it? especially with the 2014 and 2015 models I´ve read a lot of bad reviews on the transmission. I want to buy one used with 40K miles on it, but all those reviews are making me consider it twice. I am looking forward for your answer. GREAT CONTENT BTW
Thanks Francisco, the trans would shift roughly once in a while at low speeds.
@@GlennsCarCollection Thank you very much I appreciate it :)
@@franciscobarahona964 I'm in the proccess of buying a 2014 jeep grand cherokee overland and lots of the earlier 2014-2015 reviews are complaints about that. There was a recall sometime in 2015 on the transmission. I'm thinking all of the early bugs with the JGC's a fixed since it's been over 6~ years.
How's the car running now?
We sold it and lease a 2019 Grand Cherokee in 2019. Check the channel for update videos on that one. Thank you.
It's a 7500 dollar repair or 700 for the oil filter housing?
Great comment, Peak Torque, thanks for sharing
Great comment @@GlennsCarCollection, thanks for sharing.
Looks nice
thanks
Love. This vids
Thanks ! more videos to come
does any one know if they addressed that issue with the plastic part that leaked oil over time? i am looking at a 2016 but that issue sounds like a problem i don't want to deal with lol.
not sure, my 2014 leaked eventually. just bought a 2019, so far so good
@@GlennsCarCollection So, you invested in another Grant Cherokee? I wonder if they changed the oil filter housing to where it will not do what your old GC did. That should not happen. And what kind of headlights are on your newer 2019? I'm "thinking' about getting a more basic 2020 Laredo E and it has just the halogen projectors. I like that it is rear wheel drive like a truck and it will be my truck for all practical purposes (a regular truck is just NOT practical for us).
I have 2020 Summit, I enjoy driving it although it is a v6 pentastar. only issue is once you push hard on acceleration for more than 30 seconds, bad burning smell will prevents you from breathing. But, honestly for normal driving you don't need more than 50% acceleration
I got a bad smell from time to time as well. I use full throttle to accelerate onto the highway or passing on the highway
Everything breaks at 100,000 miles.
Great review!
Thanks Jessica. Thank you for watching and subscribing. More videos to come
I want a JGC but I’m confused with which one I want. I think the limited is slightly larger than the base model
All Grand Cherokee's are the same size. The limited has leather, the base model doesn't
Just got an overland... love it
Nick Cruz I have an altitude model and it is great. The difference with each models are the luxury. The orden I got have the 9 speaker stereo system and sunroof. The seats are black suede.
Grand Cherokee is bigger than regular Cherokee. Hence the “Grand” prefix.
What’s that rattle 🤔 do Jerseys roads suck that bad
Yes, they do
Glenns Car Collection 😂 Just FYI Glenn my wife and I had a Grand Cherokee Laredo 04 with a 4.7 V8 drove it over 200k never put a dime in it other than maintenance .. sold it 3 years ago it’s still driving around... JEEP 10 thumbs up 👍👍👍
I have had a thing for GCs but the horrible reliability makes me run for the hills. Why the Effin eff would you put a plastic housing o it would crack and leak? It is the same deal with BMWs and their plastic engine parts. I think that people are also to blame who don’t boycott such crap from Germans, Land Rover and FIAT.
$700 oil filter repair for a mistake the dealership made. 🤔🤦♂️🙄 that is unacceptable.
it sure is
Glenns Car Collection that should be a free repair every time. I wonder how many other components in the car were affected from this known faulty design. I had saw some of the 2011 and 2012 models from $9000 to $12000 used. They have between 125000km to 150000 km on them. Should I go for them? Or should I go for a different year altogether?
@@blackstarafro2 I'm wondering the same question here!! Did you end up doing it
❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy it’s been good
Thanks, I see you love the pentastar Nate ! thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel. More Jeep videos to come
I have a 16k Tucson with 60k that needs nothing. I own old jeeps. This sounds like a pretty piece of shit lol
ha ha, great comment. Happy New Year !
If you call 60k miles long term odds are its shit lol.
only 60k? my 14 has 194k miles. Would never buy another one. spends more time in the shop than on the road
Ours was a lease so mileage was limited. Sorry to hear about yours. Thank you for your comment
why?! grand cherokee wk2 relieble suv and strong
No way it's limited no panoramic sunroof no 20 inches wheels no led lights
you need the lux 2 package on the limited to get the panoramic sunroof and the LED. I have both on our 2019 JGC
Two major repairs in 60k is PATHETIC!
Todd Toddy the oil filter housing guaranteed is because someone over tightened it at some point the lower seal isn’t a big deal. Sh*t happens
Shit happens a hell of a lot less on a Toyota doesn’t it?
Todd Toddy if someone over tightens anything on any car you’re looking at a repair.
@@Toddtoddy78 If you don't mind your air bags going off when they're not supposed to or your throttle sticking wide open and have Toyota try to blame the floor mats.
60K Miles in 5 years?! LOL, I won't waste my time watching this LOL, you may as well be reviewing a brand new car...
Sorry for being a jerk, I really did chuckle. Round here we get 15K plus a year, I put 26K on my Jeep in 10 and 1/2 months in 2019. At 60K a car should not need anything major. Hell maybe I should watch, my Jeep is in need of 4K in lifter repairs. I think I hate FCA motors.
no worries, i had 8 other cars at the time so my mileage was spread out over all of them
60k miles is not a lot to be considered reliable or not.
You never get what you pay for with tires. Such a lie LOL
i THINK ITS the JEEP 2014-2017 THAT HAS THE WORST TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS! i'M just reminding myself to not buy any of those years. 😉
Oil’s leeks before 60K, I’ll buy a Toyota and not deal with oil’s leeks.
Focus on the jeep not your face
Why the LGBT 🏳️🌈 intro music on a Jeep review?
5 years & 60,000 miles is considered long term? You've obviously never lived in the Toyota Universe. Toys are just getting broken in at 60k.
The REAL question should be....
Would You buy this Car at 60,000 miles?
Another useless review.
I had a 200,000 mile Toyota Supra still on the original clutch
Man u talk too much, can u get dirty to the point please
You must have the attention span of a gnat. The entire 8 minutes of the video was full of valuable information. You probably waste 8 minutes scrolling mindlessly on social media, day in and day out smh.
Make a sharp turn and the suspension will fall on its face. Horrible car poor quality. Also very dangerous.
It's an off road focused suspension. Try comparing it to a Range Rover. It's the same deal. The SRT and TrackHawk are performance focused and are very well controlled in aggressive maneuvers.
