2011 Overland Summit V8

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
We purchased our Jeep used with 34K miles. The color is mineral grey with saddle interior and saddle leather dash. The vehicle feels solid on the road and is very quiet. The sound system is good with lots of features. We drove it on a 3400 miles trip with speeds between 70 and 80 mile-per-hour. We averaged 19 MPG for the entire trip and covered a lot of miles per day as driving the … Jeep is not fatiguing. We did have a failure with the vehicle, the TIPM went bad. This is basically a computerized fuse box. We were lucky and got ours replaced with an updated one for free. Since we also own a European car (SAAB), the leather in the Jeep is nothing like our SAAB. The leather in the Jeep is surfaced dyed and the SAAB's is dyed through and of excellent quality. The SAAB is 17 years old and the leather looks new. The Jeep is just over 8 years old and the leather has some surface cracks in the sprayed on dye. The Jeep is almost unstoppable in the snow.
Update: The vehicle has been treating us very well. No issues since the first review. Love the power it has too. Would buy another Jeep.
Latest update: Just maintenance. Oil and Filter changes, rotated tires, flushed the cooling system, new engine air filter. Changed front and rear differential oil. New cabin filter. Flawless at this time. 2-4-2018.
Update: 8/2019: Low mileage Jeep since don't use it much in town. 47K miles. Flushed brake system, change oil frequently, new spark plugs (16). Only concerns are if the air suspension should fail and had read about issues with engine valve lifters failing damaging camshaft. Expensive repair should it occur.
This Is Jeep's Finest Hour!

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
I have owned this Overland V8 Hemi for nearly 2 months now, and I am still just as impressed as the day I bought it. This is a quiet, strong, well-behaved, high-quality vehicle that is loaded with amenities like heated and cooled seats, power liftgate, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, and much more. The interior is very nice, and this vehicle can hold its own against any of … the higher-priced luxury brand SUVs from Germany and Japan. I have owned a number of Grand Cherokees in the past, but this one is clearly a cut above past models... perhaps they should have called it the Grand Slam, because that's what they have hit! This is one beautiful vechicle that I am proud to own.
Awesome

I've owned Jeep all my life and this new overland is awesome. Drives perfect looks amazing. We found a white v6 overland, last one within 500 miles of us. The jeep is just jaw dropping.
Very Disappointed. Last Jeep I'll Buy.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
I bought based on styling and perceived luxury car at affordable price point. Should have known you get what you pay for! Leather dash bubbled up although always garaged at work and home. Interior trim pealing off. Both A/C vent control actuators broken. Hydraulic engine mounts leaked (Jeep mechanic told me they were terrible). Car won't start due to faulty TIPM controller which … thankfully is now a recall. UConnect system faulty where it resets when I back up losing rear camera. Door lock motor replaced. Leak in motor replaces on warranty. I will not buy a Jeep again and very likely go with imports from now on. If you buy one get the best warranty they have or as I told my friend but a spare car for when it's in the shop! Disappointed and embarrassed that a US company can build such junk and charge so much.
