Used 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A) Consumer Reviews
it's a JEEP with luxury and sophistication !
it's a great vehicle over all ! worth the money, but make sure you seriously consider the V-6 ! The 4 cylinder lacks bite, and will leave you disappointed. I have the 2.4 cylinder right now and am truly wishing I had the six as the four seriously is sluggish and unresponsive. Not sure what JEEP was thinking putting this engine in a Cherokee...I will say If acceleration isn't that important to you then the four will be fine for you. It does it's job, but for me not impressed ! I enjoy driving it as it's seats are comfortable and the ride is smooth for the most part. Have 10,000 miles on mine now and have no problems and changed the oil once. The 8.4 Connect is user friendly and easy to use, the auto climate dual climate control is nice and works well and maintains a comfortable cabin. Gas mileage is average for a SUV I guess, but not bad. I do love my JEPP and am not disappointed in it thus far. But, because of the engine I am trying to turn it in early as it is a lease to upgrade to a Trailhawk with the V-6 or get in a grand Cherokee if possible ! Stay away from the 4 cylinder if possible.....other then that I am not disappointed in the JEEP Cherokee, great SUV and is stylish, comfortable, and you will have a sense of pride driving your JEEP around !

The worst car I ever had
First, I do like the comfort and driving of my 2017 Lattitude, however the reliability makes this the worse car I ever had, and I had over 20 cars in my life time. At approx 25K miles the engine light came on and loss driving power with misfiring, Ended up the #2 cylinder was bad and was replaced under warranty. At 45k miles the thermostat went bad, Easy enough to fix myself until I researched, Had to take it to the dealer to repair which was the least expensive at $550, compared to $750 + at other shops. ( 4 hours of labor ). At 49K miles, while turning a corner i heard a "ding", which I had heard a few times before, but nothing showed up on the console and there weren't any issues, however this time, after the ding, I lost power and the engine shut down. After about 10 minutes I was able to get it started and drove back to the dealership. Ended up there's an issue with the engine consuming too much oil. Believe it or not, the service adviser told me that up to a quart of oil consumption per 1000 miles is normal. So how is an oil change recommended every 7500 miles or as the "oil" monitoring system alerts, even possible? After they checked it out, I was 3 qts low. My motoring system said I was at 55% of oil life before needing a change. So I was supposed to take it back for a check in 2000k miles. However, at 50K miles, I had the same issue with misfiring. Drove to the dealership and again another cylinder was misfiring. It was replaced for $150. Out of all the vehicles I have owned, Nissan (6), Mitsubishi (5), Ford, (4) and Subaru, (7) Jeep (2), I have never had any issues prior to at least 95k miles, except for my 2012 Jeep Patriot with engine issues at 85k miles. If I was in the financial position to do something, I would leave my lattitude on the side of the road and walk away!. Never will I buy another Jeep. My uncle is a Jeep loyalist for the past 20 yrs, however he can afford, and does, buy a new one every year. So if you can get in and out before the warranty expires, you'll be okay. Go past that 36K mile warranty and be prepared to be frustrated and open your wallet. Update* I have now reached 85,000 miles. Here are the pros at this point, I still have not needed to replace brakes or rotors. The ride, handling and comfort continue to be good. Cons - The engine has shut down a few more times due to using too much oil however just last week there was a recall to fix the software that was causing the oil issue! Well lets see if it works and I no longer have to keep an extra quart of oil in my trunk. I'm still having an issue with miss-firing when its cold outside. And now one more issue arose. At approx 60,000 miles, I get a message on the dash stating to service shifter. After starting the car, the park light is lit, when putting into reverse, all the light are lit ( park, neutral drive etc ) and I get the message to service the shifter. Turn the ignition. restart and it works normally. When the issue happens, you can hear an abnormal clicking sound when pressing the shift button. Lets see what happens in the next 15,000 miles as I approach 100,000 Update 10/12/21 - So far the oil issue has been resolved. I haven't had an issue since the resolution. The gear shift issue comes and goes, not doing anything with it at this point. Currently I have 94K miles. I do like the way the car drives, but the early issues leave me with my same statement of being the worst car I ever owned.
