I have a new 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude with 1200 miles on it. I noticed a noise coming from my engine at a traffic light and I thought it was the car behind me but when I turned the radio down I discovered it was coming from my new Jeep. When you turn the radio down you can here a ticking sound which sounds like a helicopter propeller. Very Annoying for a Brand new Vehicle. I went to the dealership and let the service manager drive it with me and he heard the same noise. Then he asked the mechanic to go with me and he heard the same noise. I had taken it back to the dealership to have them diagnose and they said that it was a Purge Solenoid Valve and they replaced it. But when they called me to pick it up they said that it was still making the noise and probably will stay that way until Jeep comes out with a replacement part or a recall. Really!!! You pay $30,000 for a new Jeep and you get this kind of noise. I have owned a lot of other Vehicles over the years and the Engines have always been quiet with the radio turned down and you did not even know they were running. The Engineers at Jeep need to take a look at this because it is unacceptable in my book and not up to standards. Unless someone likes listening to this noise I guess you will be ok with it. But when you test drive I would listen for this noise before you buy. The Dealer started more of the Jeeps on the lot and they all made this noise and he told me this is the way Jeep has made them. I did call the Jeep Service Center and all they could tell me is that they would make documentation of it. We all know where that is going! Maybe the CEO of Jeep should get in the car with me for a test drive and listen to the noise and see if he likes listening to it. You think they would have discovered this before they came off of the assembly line. Not so Sincerely! Concerned Customer

My first ever jeep purchase and my last!! Nothing but problems! Started leaking oil at 500 miles. Yes! 500 miles. Nightmare steering aliergnment issues. Dealer could care less. They have my money and that's all they care about. I would never recommend jeep or Chrysler! American made cars are crap! I'll stick with Toyota/Nissan from now on.

Considering I learned to drive in a '47 Willy's jeep pickup......Jeep has come a long ways.Bought a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk with the 4cyl. I dont do much towing so didnt need the extra 2 cylinders for 1000 + dollars. On the way home, took it down a 2 mile sand trail that eats rails and buggys on a regular basis. No problems at all in 4wd/auto setting.The technology is pretty impressive, lane assist, adaptive braking, etc. It almost drives itself. The 8 speed auto trans seems to get a little confused with up and downshifts. The cure for this is to drive it with authority, not like an 80 year old lady. My only complaint is the exhaust sound. Kinda like a constipated bumble bee. Borla makes a catback exhaust system that should take care of that. I'll trade it in 4 years. Cant wait to see what 2020 looks like. Update 2018. 30,000 miles. Just finished a 75 hour, 4500 mile trip from Tampa to Tucson and back. Some side trips in New Mexico. Used the hill descent feature to manage a 4wd trail down the backside of an 8000 ft. mountain, a few decent 4wd trails and 80+ mph across Texas. Avg. 22.6 mpg with nary a whimper, although I did manage to destroy both side step rails. A set of Rocky Road Outfitters Super Slider rock rails are enroute. ;-) Update. 2020 winter road trip. Tampa to the Grand Canyon and back. Snow, sleet, rain, dust storms and frozen fog. It performed like, well, a Jeep. 44,000 miles and doesn't even feel broken in yet. I think I'll just keep it.

Bought our 2016 75th anniversary Cherokee in 2017.8200 miles on odometer.Balance of factory warranty.Overall this could be a phenomenal suv.I will explain.Noticed fogged up windows on a beautiful warm day in Sept of 2018.Lifted up driver and passenger floormats and both carpets were wet.Took and dropped it of at dealer where I purchased a total of 5 times.In the end they said it was a cracked winsheild.Which isn't covered under warranty.I paid the $295 for winsheild. Even though I purchased it used.I called a lemon law lawyer.We took em to court and settled.You can sue manufacturers for up to 23% of purchase price.Which is what I got. I have my jeep back for about 2 weeks.No signs yet.Fingers crossed.I went without my Cherokee for roughly a month and a half during this process.This is an issue with cherokees and seems to be hit or miss as to who gets the wet ones.Not enough apparently to recall. Now to the basic vehicle.Ours is loaded with most options. V6 is very peppy and we average about 22mpg.Seats are very comfortable. This was our first vehicle with heated seats and steering wheel. They are a wonderful thing I have to say.Plenty of adjustment so you dont cook.Passenger seating is also comfy and roomy.Hatch area size is a little disappointing.We have 2 medium size dogs and although they fit back there it could be a lil bigger.Not jeeps fault.I knew how big it was before I bought it.Very good in the snow.Im in Pa. so we get a little from time to time.Very nice ride on the highway.Overall I love the lil cherokee.If the leak is resolved I would with caution consider another one in the future.If the leak returns.It will be my last jeep.And that's a shame jeep. Update.Leak reappeared with a vengeance.Traded it in on a Toyota.Goodbye Jeep! Ya coulda been a contender.

Update to my first review 2 years ago: This truck is still reliable. I moved from a warm climate state to a snow state and it held up very well. I am back in the warm climate state. I have driven many miles between states and cities, and it hasn't disappointed. Thus far, maintenance has been fairly low other than the usual. I'm still happy with my purchase. The first thing I want to take the time to review is the buying experience. I went to the Auto Nation in Pembroke Pines, FL. My sales guy was Michael Lewis. I saw him the day before I actually purchased the vehicle and knew that he would be the one to take me through the process. I came in the next day, told him what I was looking for and he made the process as stress-free as possible (also to mention I am 8 months pregnant). This is my first SUV, so the rating I am giving is purely off of first impression. I have the limited, which has a lot of bells and whistles that are impressive. The leather interior was a must have for me, which only comes with all limited vehicles. The larger screen and technology is not only a great feature, but also good for safety. The car comes equipped with 10 airbags. I am having a baby really soon and the safety features was a big deal for me, as well as having the larger space. So far, I have had a smooth ride, but I am still in the brand new stage of the vehicle. I am comfortable and very happy with this purchase. I was also concerned with the heavy engine, which is not an issue. My overall experience with this purchase was really great. My salesman had my hard tag the next day and made sure anything that I was missing was ordered. I recommend purchasing this vehicle and recommend purchasing from that dealership.
