This is my third Cherokee. Obviously I believe Jeep delivers a great product for your money. There are always going to be those people who hate whatever they choose. You can see one star ratings in every make and model. I have never had any issues with my Jeeps other than they just get to old and worn out. Yes the 2.4L is a four cylinder, what do you expect? A 800hp outlaw dirt track racer. Do your research. If this isn't for you get something else. If the sales numbers come in like they more than likely will, Jeep will have out sold its competitors for the fifth year in a row. My wife loves the new Cherokee. The kids love it. When its time to go somewhere its " Dad can we take the Jeep?"

This is for the 2016 Limited 3.2 pkg. Shopped the market segment (Ford Escape, Dodge Journey) and ended with this as a 2-year lease as our daily driver. The Cherokee fits into a needed niche for SUV folks: small enough to park and maneuver easily, but large enough (inside) to not feel like a compact SUV (like the Escape). The leather interior is soft and supple, yet rugged. Complaints: (1) where's the inside rear hatch release button? Please, FCA: tell me there is one (on a $36,000-MSRP vehicle). There's apparently only one way to open the rear hatch and that's by feeling around with your middle three fingers under the rear portion of the hatch door and depressing a 4" wide, flush with the surrounding surface, release "button". And to further compound the annoyance of this feature, the locking mechanism (that locks all 5 doors) is nearby, so if you hit the wrong button you have to pull the key FOB out and start all over; (2) the "auto stop" SUCKS! I didn't research this vehicle enough before selecting it and had I known about that "feature" it definitely would have deterred my interest in going this route. Imagine stopping for a few seconds, seeing your tach go to zero, then transitioning quickly between the brake and gas pedal and incurring a "clunk" as the Cherokee engages and moves ahead. Plus, it defaults to auto-stop every time you start the vehicle, so it requires you to remember to defeat it manually. To me, it's utterly ridiculous--to force the shut down of the vehicle in a (vain) effort to increase the fleet MPG for FCA. I'll be curious to see how many trans issues Jeep will face in the future as the wear and tear related to that very noticeable jerking between stop and take off shaves miles off the already precarious transmission in these vehicles. Bottom Line: 'So glad I leased instead of purchasing. Already looking forward to the lease-end, relieved I don't have to find another sucker for this vehicle to sell it to.

I bought this car slightly used a year and a half ago at 30,000 miles. Two weeks after purchasing it needed a new radiator. I should have known right then and there to part ways. In the next year and a half it was in the shop seven times. The last straw was when it randomly shut down at an intersection. They fixed it, saying it was the shifter, three days later happened again. The dealership made good, probably knowing this car is a piece of you know what. It is a shame, it is a great sized car. Handles well in snow. But, you can't have a car that just randomly shuts off. If these problems were happening at 50,000 I'd hate to see 75,000+ miles.

Storage only fair, need more space get a larger SUV. Shifts are smooth, I do feel pain for those that have experienced transmission problems. If a issue arises later I will edit my review. The V6 is powerful and merging into traffic is no problem. I did test drive the Jeep Cherokee twice and I urge everyone thinking about buying any SUV to do there homework. Bottom line I love my Cherokee. No problems after 10,200 and very happy with the mileage ( good 24 mpg) Seat comfort on long trips is very good. Stop start is sometimes a nuisance but I feel it does aid in better gas mileage. A smaller SUV but very solid on the road. Just returned from a 2,500 trip and got 30 miles to a gallon. 95% of this is on interstate 75 cursing at the speed limit. Had to knock down the rear seats to get all the luggage in. Oh yeah 1 recall for the windshield wiper arm. Total mileage now 19,700. P.S. no transmission problems.
