I really like how it handles and how big it is. I really like that it seats up to 7 passengers. The design of it is nice. It looks and rides great. I have always love Jeep. It really does well in the snow.
Great SUV - Poor fuel economy

I really really like this vehicle - it’s comfortable, reliable, roomy, quiet, smooth and fun to drive. I’ve had Jeeps for 18 years, I’ve loved them all. This one doesn’t dissspoint - and it’s much quieter than the old Cherokees. The fuel mileage sucks, however. I’m getting 11-12 mpg on short hops and my daily commute. 17-18 mpg on highway driving.

String of Problems from day one

Where to begin? It stalls for no reason at all at low speeds. Took it in for the sunroof whistling noise. Dealership claimed the windshield was the problem. After a new windshield, found that the roof panels are rusted out so badly that the weld has separated around the windshield frame. There is a leak and they cannot find it. Window controls are possessed. When it's cold outside, the radio will not work. Have had to have the powertrain system reprogrammed twice. This is my second Jeep and I'm extremely disappointed.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

I bought this car new in 2006. It is 10 years old now and I have driven it very little (just turned over to 60,000 miles). During that time, I took immaculate care of it. Overall, it was a great car (despite the numerous factory recalls). I love the design, layout and look of the vehicle. The the interior and logic of the instrumentation is great. It is very comfortable to drive and to ride in; both in the front, back seats and even in the 3rd seat. The mileage is terrible (city 10.5mpg / hiway ~15mpg), but what do you expect for a heavy Jeep with a 5.8L HEMI. All was magical in the land of Oz; that was until I hit 45,000 miles and had to replace the transmission ($4000). Then I hit 60,150 miles and experienced a "catastrophic engine failure" last week. I am really disappointed that the transmission in this car only lasted 45k miles and that the engine completely failed at 60k. I am now torn between paying $10,000 for a completely new engine and try to get a few more years out of this beast or buy a more reliable new car. if I do get a new car, it will not be a Jeep.

I traveled 4 hours to purchase this vehicle and everything was fine until I was closer to home. Lights on the dash indicating problems with the engine, transmission, brakes, and oil all came on. The speedometer and gas gauge stopped working as well. These lights were not on when I purchased the vehicle however I have not been able to drive or enjoy my new purchase due to all these electrical issues that have come up. So needless to say I have not been able to drive the vehicle due to it not being in working order. I am very disappointed in the outcome of the vehicle and I am currently awaiting repairs to be made. I purchased an extended warranty and I am glad I did because otherwise I would have basically had to come out of pocket to repair the new vehicle I just bought. Please take your vehicles to an auto zone or advance auto and have them check any vehicle that you are thinking of purchasing before signing on the dotted line.
