Do you like buying car parts ?

If the weather gets too hot you have to replace the battery. When it rains you have to replace the coil pack. I have yet to see whats going to happen when it snows or if I have to drive in extreme cold. If you like to replace car parts based on weather conditions then this is the car for you. Also the salesman was very disappointed when I elected not to buy warranty . I am wondering now is it because he know this car has issues. Not only that I am harassed daily by people selling vehicle warranty , I block the phone number they call from a different number they too know this car has issues and I will need them soon. This car may last one more year when the last payment is made and I can guarantee you that I will never by another Jeep .

Uncomfortable

I bought in July 2017 so that I had something my father could get in and out of easily. This is the roughest riding vehicle I have ever owned. It's noisy and uncomfortable. I absolutely hate it. Regret buying. If I could get rid of, I would tomorrow.

I wish I would've done my homework more on this unit... horrible gas mileage, not very roomy, no zip, did I mention horrible on gas mileage, no CD, can't turn the radio off only mute( who does that?) so every time I start the car the radio comes on even if I don't want to hear it. Very rough ride.. I feel like I'm in a army Jeep from the 60's.

Get the Trailhawk. It is well worth the extra money for a far superior car

Too many issues

This is our third Jeep. We have bought 2 Jeep Cherokee Laredo's and decided that we would buy a jeep latitude for my wife. After 4 years we have had numerous problems with the latitude. Not good in snow, the automatic start stop stopped working, had 2 coils go bad (wasn't covered by the expensive extended warranty of course). Slow acceleration after stopping.

2017 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

I bought my 2017 Jeep Cherokee Sport brand new, in 2017. Had it for less than a year and it already needed a new battery. The just after 3 years, it would cut off for no reason. Then needed a new battery again. The off and on it would continually cut off while coming to a stop. Very unreliable and not safe. So disappointed in Jeep. The 2.4 L Engines have issues. They drink up the oil causing irregular oil changes, or having to continually top off the oil. There is a class action lawsuit on the matter. I just had to get rid of it. Awful experience, and the dealerships know of the issues, they will ignore you or pretend to fix the issue, they don't care.

First-time Jeep owner

This is our first time owning a Jeep. We liked the description on the dealership website and put it on our list of vehicles to look at. It was the first one we took for a ride and my wife fell in love with it. It’s a great vehicle, only has a 4 cylinder engine but it’s got plenty of spunk. Spacious and comfortable, lots of options for driver comfort and safety.
