MPG Performance is a Scam

2017 Jeep Cherokee 75th Anniversary 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

Beautifully designed car, but JEEP has a very long way to go with their engines. We fell in love with the JEEP Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition and decided to buy the car back in February 2017. After owning it for 2 months, it was instant regret. Instead of averaging an mpg of 27 miles, we can barely get it to do 17-18 miles (and that’s driving it as gently as possible). Please don’t make the mistake we’ve made, and save yourself the aggravation. I am already looking to trade-in or sell the car, for a more fuel efficient one. Completely unacceptable for a company that has been building SUVs for nearly a century. There should be a class action law suit for JEEP’s deceptive MPG score-card on the window sticker of their vehicles.

electrical issues @ 20k power train issues @ 50k heating issues @ 60k etc etc 280 hp option still is underpowered. handles like a boat. less room in a standard sedan than this. too many useless features. auto shutoff is stupid and uncessacary. too many issues. gas tank size wayyy too small for an "offroad vehicle" only positive is interior/exterior looks nice interior is nice. we drove it like a baby for the first 20k and used it for highway mostly and it still had issues. worst vehicle we have ever had.

Good small SUV that offers 6 cylinder

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.

Mopeds pass me

Bought and sold 5 weeks later with 1000 miles. Could not get use to the extremely underpowered and unresponsive drive. the complex 9 sp trans bogs down the 1.4 L engine, not a good marriage. The JEEP Cherokee 4x2 was boring, slow, doggish and loves the 1200 - 1700 rpm range. FIAT WILL RUIN JEEP! Do not buy this vehicle, its slower than a moped. Plus, 30 MPG Hwy....my butt...27 avg.
