Used 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A) Consumer Reviews
Hated at first, but like it now!
We purchased this vehicle in May of 2015. About 1600 miles in the Transmission "sensor" failed and the ENTIRE transmission needed to be replaced. Ouch. This didn't settle well with me, but I let the dealership have a go at fixing it and they were able to replace it within 5 days and we got a loaner vehicle so it wasn't THAT much of a problem. We all know these cars have transmission issues NOW lol. Here we are at 47,533 miles and there hasn't been an issue since then with the Transmission, HOWEVER, the HVAC motor blower have recently been giving us problems. It works when it wants to. The check engine light has come on and every time I take it to the dealer the light turns off and there's "Nothing we can do except check the code" when I take it in haha! This is pretty much normal for every dealership. They want to see the check engine light ON. I figured out that it's the blower motor so I bought a replacement and am waiting for it to come in to see if replacing it works. It could also be the module that conrols the motor so we'll see. I was able to file a claim to have the dealership look at the issue but I got impatient and want to try to fix it myself. It's not expensive. Other than those two issues the car has been pretty much perfect. We average about 25-26 combined mpg's which is great (according to onboard diagnostics). The bluetooth SOMETIMES has a hard time connecting to my wifes phone but it's not a big deal. Just have to do it manually. I give it a 4 star because I feel 3 is too harsh and 5 is too kind considering our initial problem and current one haha! Road noise is fine. Engine noise is quiet. We like the vehicle in the end. About to try to sell because family is getting bigger.

Transmission flaw
Transmission flaw- as soon as you touch the brakes in neutral you can no longer apply the gas. As in, the accelerator is bypassed. This leaves no recourse but a blown engine with subsequent normal applications of gas/brake while in motion. Big data fails!
