I know many who had Jeeps and a family member who owned a Jeep dealer. And even said these cars can be crap. You will have problems with this car, primarily transmission. If the salesmen told you they updated the transmission, don't believe them because it still sucks. -the interior is nice. I'll give it that. It's kind of soccer mom looking but they recently updated the look of it -i haven't even put 30k miles on my 2017 and I'm already getting rid of it. It's in the dealer as we speak. -Be wary of this car as they won't last, none of the newer jeep vehicles last anyways.

I bought mine NEW at a dealership in 2017. I was wanting this Jeep for years now but waited till the transmission issues from 2015-16 were fixed and not in the newer models. I purchased the basic Sport model with the upgraded V6 engine. Ive also put on 18,000 miles on it so far to write this review. PROS: Its a looker! It looks sleek and nice and the front end is very different, which i like. Its stunning to look at, compact but yet still has enough room for travels and friends. CONS: Its a noise machine. I hear every creak, knock, rattle and ping in this.....and its annoying. Every time i hit a bump in the road, the whole Jeep rattles like the interior isnt made securely and things are just shaking all over. My goodness the rattles are insane in this! People have commented on it saying "is something broken in here? Why is every thing rattling?" The transmission issues are still apparent in the newer models. When i go from reverse to forward, theres a 2-3 second delay like the Jeep is trying to think of what to do while your foots already on the gas trying to get it to go forward. Also to note, this model doesnt like altitude or long journeys/ car trips. Every time i go travel up to the hills/mountains (higher altitudes), the CHECK ENGINE light comes on. But then when i travel back home and go back to normal altitudes...the CHECK ENGINE light turns off. Annoying. Would i buy this again? No. I would test drive a few other Manufacturers first.

Since purchasing the vehicle in September 2016, it was seen in the service department in October 2016 for a loud click from the brake (told this is normal) and the vehicle shutting off during idle twice. An update was done but the issue continued. November 2016, I brought the vehicle in because the back seat would move back and forth if someone was not sitting in it (they had to replace the whole back seat) but as I was driving into the service doors the vehicle skipped and tried to die with lights flashing on the dash. Service could not duplicate. December 2016 brought in because the vehicle kept skipping when trying to take off from a stop. On two occasions it completely stalled but service was unable to duplicate. The vehicle also had issues with shifting too early at times and then shifting was delayed other times. Once again issue could not be duplicated. Later in December I brought it back again and was told there was a fix. January 2017 the vehicle was brought back again due to stalling and the multiair actuator was replaced. The issue continued as the service manager searched for an answer until I had enough in October 2017 when it came to a stop for no reason and the vehicle would make a terrible noise in reverse at times. Service along with FCA attempted to fix it but could not duplicate the issue. When I received the vehicle back it now skips in idle, makes a lawn mower sound in idle and when shutting off make a whining noise. I have stopped driving the vehicle and am trying to get FCA to do the right thing via Georgia's Lemon Law. I have done my due diligence following FCAs required steps and they said they cannot duplicate my issue but would give me a good faith payment for my time. I have asked to talk to supervisors etc. but am told that is not their protocol. This vehicle is unsafe and should not be allowed on the road! I have video of the issues and one of the service agents commented on it having delayed shifting but FCA closed my case and said it is fixed, regardless of the fact you cannot fix an issue that cannot be duplicated. I sent my Lemon Law paperwork over 1 week ago certified mail and now USPS want to send it back because FCA hasn’t come to pick it up. I will not drive my children around in the vehicle and I will never buy another Chrysler product. I love my dealership but FCA has no business making cars.

I went on a 600 mile round trip and got 35 miles per gallon! Bluetooth and backup camera are wonderful.

I Love my 2017 Jeep Cherokee EXCEPT when you reverse and put back in drive the car stalls and then accelerates quickly which can be scary when reversing out of a parking spot. I also noticed that its acceleration is very strange...if you are going 30 mph and want to accelerate it takes you down to 20 mph before accelerating.. makes you feel like the car is going to just stop before acceleration. Other then that the car is great but i honestly feel like that is a huge negative when the main purpose of me choosing this car was for the speed of the 6cyl engine.
