My 2013 Grand Cherokee had 225000 miles on it when I traded it in . Best vehicle I ever owned only thing I did was a wheel bering.
I have a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee with around 88,000 miles on it. I purchased it used from the dealer. It had been a regional sales reps vehicle prior to my ownership. The only issue I’ve had with it since I’ve owned, it was one of the key fob stopped communicating with the transponder system in the vehicle, and so that key fob became completely useless. This is my second Grand Cherokee I briefly had a 2018 limited with all the bells and whistles, but unfortunately an errant driver wasn’t paying attention and backed into it during the pandemic when body shops were backed up two years, and so it was traded in on this Trailhawk. Jeep has producing this platform for well over 15 years from what I can tell they seem to be as dependable as anything else in the marketplace in the segment and any early teething issues would’ve been worked out by now. You have to remember this platform was engineered by Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.
Regarding the 3.6 Pentastar -- it has a metal-plastic oil cooker, located in the Vee. It is important to replace it with an aftermarket all metal design. See other videos for details. The engine is basically a very good engine and highly durable. With the lifter problem, it is important to have it fixed at the *very first* indication of any tappet clicking from the top of the engine. It isn't a particularly big job if caught early on before damage is done. Please do your own research before taking on repairs, because main dealers may not be the best place to go, due to putting on OEM parts like the oil cooler, which needs to be aftermarket and fully metal. These are essentially very good engines with a few niggles, which if handled properly shouldn't be too much trouble. Hope this helps people.
I have a 2018 Trail Hawk with 91k miles on it. The air compressor for the suspension failed at 18k miles, fixed under warranty. The screen delaminated and I did the repair myself for under $75. Other than those 2 things I have had zero issues. Everything still works as it should. I might put another 90k miles on it before I think about buying something else.
just bought a 2020 Trailhawk with 60k miles on it 3 weeks ago and I've noticed that the car is Jerky at light throttle when you are behind somebody trying to go the same speed, maybe the driveline is loose or the transmission is going between gears too much? Also my antenna sucks and I can't even get local stations very good, XM radio works perfectly though. I have an appointment with the dealer and plan on getting the 60k mile service and have them look into those 2 issues.
I’ve got 165k on mine. Cat converter is blown out but other than that it’s running well
I knew I recognized that road! That’s in Fort Myers, FL - near FGCU!
Good eye 😁
The screen may eventually begin to “detach” causing cosmetic damage then touch access limited. No other issues.
OG owner. 92k miles.
Good grief where to begin? I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland V6 with 148k miles. You're lucky to get 18MPG. I take meticulous care of it but you name it, it has broken and has been replaced. Rear Wiper Motor, Radiator, Water Pump, Wheel Bearings, Backup Sensors, Evaporator, Heating Coil, (Two) AC Compressors, the entire Air/Heat Diverter box (the whole dashboard has to be removed for that, $3K), Both Front Heat Pads (that was $3K), Distributor, Transmission Leaks, Differential Leaks, Jeep paint is shit even though its been extensively detailed with clay, polish, glaze, sealants and wax. Wheel rims has be re-sanded and painted as they began to pit at 75k, Faux wood paneling delaminates at 100k, costing almost a $1k to replace. UConnect radio is garbage and stored stations routinely blank out and have to be reprogramed. Headlights glaze inside the lens and cost $1k a piece to replace. Whew!
I want to think that a newer one if I buy a 2018-2022 or so I'd not have many issues and definitely not all that you've had lol. Dang...........
I've always been troubled by the thought that such a stunning suv as g. cherokee is not even nearly as reliable as lets say a toyota or honda suv. Many would like to purchase and keep a g. cherokee for at least 10 years or more but they just don't make them reliable enough.
Put yr in title!
2020 grand Cherokee limited with 46K miles bad body control module killed my headlights , turn signals and horn
Do not buy this vehicle! The oil housing has been replaced on mine 3 times, lifters are going it’s been one thing after another. 3.6 engine is complete 💩
You probably mean the metal-plastic oil cooker, located in the Vee? It is important to replace it with an aftermarket all metal design. See other videos for details. The engine is basically a very good engine and highly durable. You have been very unlucky to have both the oil cooker and lifer problems together. With the lifters, it is important to have it fixed at the *very first* indication of any tappet clicking from the top of the engine. It isn't a particularly big job if caught early on before damage is done. Please do you research before taking on repairs, because main dealers may not be the best place to go, due to putting on OEM parts like the oil cooler, which needs to be after market. You essentially have a very good vehicle with a few niggles, which if handled properly shouldn't be too much trouble. Hope this helps people.
Specify the freaking model in the title ffs 😂
