More luxurious than a Cadillac SRX! LOVE IT

We bought a Cadillac SRX and drove it for two years before trading it on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4x4 with the 8 cylinder Hemi in it. I've had my 2014 for 13 months now and I am still in love with it. We hated the way the Cadillac drove - and the JGCS is so much better. The technology works better and is more receptive (everything from the touch screen to the outside touch door locks/unlocks). The interior is beautiful, I love the look of the dashboard and the leather seats. The only thing I would change is the seats could be a little more comfy. They aren't bad, but could be better. I've heard people who have had trouble with the transmission and other things, but so far so good with mine. No issues at all. I LOVE that jeep offers a lifetime warranty on the vehicle which I purchased. It's comforting to have it, because I know even if I have issues Jeep will take care of them. The cost of warranty on my brand new Jeep was less than an extended warranty on a used car. I plan on driving this vehicle until it literally won't drive anymore. There are only three things I would change - comfier seats, maybe better gas mileage and I would love it if it read the iPhone text messages like Ford and Chevy vehicles do. I was coming back from an activity on a school bus (I'm a teacher) and this gorgeous car in the parking lot caught mine - about a split second later, I realized it was MY CAR!

6 Year UPDATE... This remains the best vehicle I have owned, including a Honda. Now at 150,000 miles and climbing, the JGC has been reliable, comfortable and still looks great. No issues as it ages. I would buy one again. For Sure!!! UPDATE...driving with 140,000 miles on the odometer makes me smile. This has been a trouble free vehicle. Two parking lot bumps are the only thing that indicates the car has wear. I do keep on top of scheduled maintenance, but otherwise it is as much of a joy now as it was when I first drove it off the new car lot. The only issue has been the software update which is delivered by cell. The GPS system seems to have a hard time locating the vehicle location on occasion. Odd problem. I’ve got to bring it in to have the dealer look at it, but the issue is very recent, so I haven’t made my way over yet. My wife is a bit worried about the miles adding up, but she loves the car too and wants me to get a new one, exactly like my Summit. I’m convinced that the Jeep will keep going reliably well past 200k miles...based on my current experience. UPDATE...now over 90,000 miles. No majot repairs. Kept up with suggested and required maintenance. This has been a fantastic vehicle. Best I've ever owned. it continues to ride well, handle well, and work without effort or thought in every way - I am simply amazed. Glowing review! Yes. Never had an opportunity to say so many good things about a product. My biggest concern...should I get a new one before my luck changes. No concern about what I'd choose. Unless they change the model significantly, it will be another Jeep GC! Back 30,000 miles ago I wrote... I reviewed the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit when it was a month old. Now, with over 60,000 miles and 30 plus months of experience, I really believe this is a GREAT SUV. I have had no issues. There have been a couple of recalls, and I make sure to do all of the scheduled maintenance on time. It is a joy to have a trouble free, capable and comfortable SUV. Gas milage on the highway, and in mixed city/highway driving is better than promised. The local dealership did not offer a great buying experience, but the maintenance shop team is really impressive. I use an iPhone, iPad and kindle fire - and connecting to the Bluetooth has been effortless. The navigation is a bit slow to plot the course, but after it does, the location ability and directions are excellent. I don't work for the auto business, so I don't have special loyalties. But I Love This Jeep! My original review below... Purchased Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit a month ago. Already have 2k miles on it and it is indeed a joy to drive. Handles in snow and high winds beautifully. The electronics are a bit overwhelming in the first few days - best to plan a few 10 minute parking times to play with adjustments. I found lots of great features in the menus. Love it so far. And the weather has given the SUV a real workout. But it is an amazingly comfortable, quiet and nice riding vehicle!

2014 JGC Summit Review

Picked up my Grand Cherokee Summit with the EcoDiesel last week. Power delivery is exceptional with the 8 speed automatic and diesel engine. Averaging about 25 mpg in mixed driving with winter blend diesel. Fit and finish is flawless. Found a delivery checklist at Jeep Garage dot org and went over the Jeep with a fine tooth comb upon receipt, no issues. More snow headed our way this weekend so we'll see how the 4wd system works. So far, I am loving this vehicle. Truth be told, this is the nicest vehicle that I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few.

I picked up a 2014 GC Summit (Demo) with the 5.7L V8 in Jan 2015. So far its been an excellent SUV, plenty of power, very comfortable, touch screen very easy to use and connect my devices. Interior fit an finish is excellent really like the leather seating and suede headliner, Black interior, Harmon Kardon sound, LOTS of bump. The drive, as it is a heavy Vehicle and me coming from a sports sedan, is very comfortable, Sport mode well thats a hole different beast need I say more. Jeeps done a really good job with the GC. So I've had my GC for a year an and half now. Purchasing this Jeep I new there would be recalls now a days it's almost Unavoidable. I ve had to take it in for a total of 4 1. Wiring harness clip 2. Software update or flash update for my remote start and key fob. 3. New rotors and pads covered under WARRANTY, had to pay labour. 4. There was also another software update. Everything is running very well with my 2014 GC, I've heard there's another recall for the shifter which I haven't received any thing as of yet. At the same time I'm not sure if 2014's are apart of that recall, I've just heard it the 2015-16 models, but I will be going g into my local dealership to inquire. Hope this was helpful.

I bought a 2014 GC Summit diesel for Christmas less than a month old and been into the dealer 3 times. This last time tranny is stuck in 3rd gear, all I can say is do not buy this vehicle! You have been warned! If you are even considering a Heep run away, run far away....
