We bought this Jeep for my wife to drive to work, works awesome in snow and ice love the all wheel drive, I love the looks of it, also love the sound of the throaty v8 engine, would sound better with dual exhaust, the bad is we have only owned it for three months and have had to put $500 worth of parts into it, I am a mechanic so I take care of my vehicles, the front speakers suck they rattle already and need replaced, there is a light blown out for the heater controls so can't see what the setting is at night, already had to replace the starter @ $300 and a wheel bearing on the front @ $230, that is just for parts, pretty pathetic at only 37,000 miles, wonder what else is going to go out?
overall excellent vehicle

I loved everything about my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L V8 Hemi... BUT its an electrical NIGHTMARE!!!! the jeep just shuts off randomly, driving or idling. I feel VERY unsafe driving this Jeep. I have replaced drive shaft new suspension, crank shaft sensor, ECM/PCM, battery, ignition switch, new programmed key ETC... nothing is working for helping . It has been a money pit. I love the look and the Hemi engine, but I cannot get over how unsafe this Jeep is. I will be driving down the street and all the sudden temp gage will fall to cold, my rad fans will kick on high and say the trans is over heated and then itll just shut off no matter if im at a red light or if im in the middle of ongoing traffic, it just SHUTS OFF. there has been multiple times I have had it towed home leaving me stranded. do not recommend this year although I do love jeeps this is making me weary on buying a new one.

My 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Hemi is a big pile of junk. I've had nothing but problems with it since buying it in 2008. I had to replace the Starter at 60,000. Fuel Pump at 65,000. Transmission at 77,000. Power Steering Pump and Line at 78,000. 4 new tires at 55,000 miles, battery at 60,000. I feel like the jeep is in the shop more than I have driven it. Very unreliable but have so much stuck into it, feel sick to trade in. Currently my Service 4WD system light came on and I just got it back from getting a new Power Steering Pump. Dealer has been nothing but rude. We will never but another jeep again.
Love My Grand Cherokee

Handles great. Smoothest riding SUV I've been in. The V6 is a bit sluggish but the fuel economy is good for a SUV. Everyone that sees it loves it. Tons of standard features.

I bought my 05' Jeep new last Nov. At 27k I haven't had too many problems. The transmission recall was fixed. My A/C has stopped working 2x, but started when I got to the dealership. My sunroof leaked very bad at 11k miles, and was diagnosed as "mis-aligned". The downshifts have always been too rough, & it hesitates when trying to take off after putting into gear. I had an 05 Explorer Limited before this, but my Jeep has a far superior ride and comfort. That being said, I was rear ended a few months back by a Tacoma going 70mph & was very surprised to find minimal damage ($4,700). The rear glass and tail-lights didn't even break. I haven't had any problems since I have gotten it back.
What a piece of crap!

This is my first JGC and I expected much more from a reputable brand like Jeep. First problem: water leaking inside cockpit thru the windshield (4 days at dealer - 1,500 miles). Then came a recall from factory for some major fault in a transmission seal (1 day in service - 10,000 mi). Third big disappointment:car won't start - fuel pump sudden death fuel pump with short circuit in pump cabling! (3 days at shop - 13,000 mi). Fourth and counting...:computer/start key system malfunction, car won't run (3 days at service - 22,000 mi). Latest problem: car won't start - stalled at mall inside garage, towed to dealer yesterday.... Don't know what the problem is (aaaarrg!) just 2 more months for lease end!
