Be Aware
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.

Never again
This car is awful on anything but dry payment. I had to replace the battery within two years of owning the car. Drivers headlight has gone out repeatedly. Panel covering the oil pan does not stay shut. It has broke off and replaced three times before I quit replacing them. Then around 101,000 miles my car starts dying randomly. While driving, stopping and taking off. Check engine light says electronic throttle control. My research shows it has been reported a bit. Does not handle as well as I thought a jeep would handle. I will never buy another jeep product.

Oil Unknown Issues
I purchased the oil changes for 100k miles and random when doing a left turn or right turn the Jeep died. This happened many times took to dealer got the transmission updated it needed. However it didn't stop. Next time the oil was bone dry and I was 1k miles before I was supposed to get an oil change. The gave me an override and covered it. So...I had it happen again! Went to auto zone got oil and added so I would not have an accident with the car dying while turning. So it was happening again! But thought it was time for oil change. Added one quart and took it in, now 1300 miles before approved oil change. Why is the Jeep using so much oil? One month the email reported 40% oil left, next month 25%. So this is an issue??? Sure this is not normal and the dealership can't find a "problem"
