After the hurricane, I needed a ride, and fast, before the post-Sandy lemons flooded the market. I picked up this '06 Laredo with 58,000 mi, very clean except for a strange divot where the driver's right heel would rest. It starts every time I turn the key, and since the passenger window was serviced, every button and light works as advertised. It handles surprisingly well for a truck, and feels confident in the snow and rain. It doesn't accelerate much below 3,000 rpm, but after that it can take off. Maybe it's my driving profile, but the mileage is terrible. We'll see what summer brings, but the A/C should blow a tad colder, but that's a very minor complaint. On balance I'm pretty happy.

I have had my 2006 Jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD FOR 7 years now! I purchased the vehicle from a jeep dealership used, it had about 53,000 miles on it when purchased. This car has been an absolute nightmare. I owned a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee, that I absolutely loved that’s why decided to upgrade to the 2006. To begin with I drove off the lot after signing papers and the check engine light came on. I return the car to have them fix the issue it took them two months to figure out what sensor was wrong. Three months after that the Motor in my driver side window and passenger window stopped working 700$. Then shortly after that my cylinder heads had to be replaced! I also had to replace all the lights on the dash. The lights inside the vehicle that would flicker on and off. I’ve replaced the stereo three times. Then at 83,000 miles my engine blew two rods. I had to put a new engine in the vehicle. Mind you I only owned the vehicle for about a year and a half at that point. I’ve had to replace many things since then the shifter, lift gate latch, door panels because my doorhandle just cracked off, Suspension system, alternator, radiator, my power seat, driveshaft, rear differential, water pump, transmission, countless electrical problems and probably more but I just lost count. Now mind you I did have an extended warranty so I didn’t have to pay a lot of it, and also why I kept it. But the fact that most of these things went wrong within the first two years of me owning the car is absolutely crazy. Most of the repairs happened before the car was even at 100,000 miles. I would plead with someone to avoid buying this car! I will never in my life buy Another Jeep product! I hope this helps someone, wish I could have seen how much crap this car was going to put me through.

UPDATED REVIEW. Well, I got tor 125,000 miles, had an electrical problem, the dashboard flickered and shut off. After several attempts, the mechanics could not fix this problem. sadly, I had to JUNK my Jeep at 125,000, just a few days after I planned on keeping it for 200,000 miles. Sad. Several thousand dollars of attempted repairs wasted. New computer, rebuilt electric harness... battery... fuses... then the starting system started to smell from burning overload.... so I junked it.....below is my original review.... I have a gray 2006 Jeep and I love it. I have put it through a hard life, driving upstate, and in NYC, in the worst weather and in blistering heat. This Jeep always performed well and is still a very comfortable ride. I had several repair issues, but after 100,000 miles they are expected. new radiator, battery, starter, all standard stuff. The engine is strong, tranny is tight. Darn oxygen sensors have to be changed and they are costly, but it is better than having old carburators. I love my steel colored jeep and I hope to make another review here at 200,000 miles. ps I bought this off lease at two years old, with 18,000 miles, for about $18,000.00

My fourth jeep, The check engine light kept coming on. After years of dealing with this nussiance, turns out it was a leaky grommet where electrical wires passed through into the tranny. After the tranny was serviced and topped off, even more fluid would pour out. It was an easy fix for the local dealer after I brought it back in. The check enginge light has behaved itself since then. Now I am going to address the lifter noises that have me worried. I will be upgrading the shocks and rotors next time I tear into the brakes. K&N stock replacement filter added about 1-2 mpg (19 highway). I enjoy driving this jeep, It handles good in all conditions. I wish I had heated mirrors, and seats std.
Pains me to say it....

As I write this my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is in the shop for the 8th time in the 2.5 years I've owned it. I'm a low mileage driver 13000 miles in 2.5 years, which comes out to a trip to the dealer every 1625 miles for service - 4 times for the exact same reoccuring issue - absurd! I love this car, the size, handling, handling in snow, features, the amount of options I got for the money, but the reliability, sadly is just not there. Prior to getting married I was a strictly Japanese car owner, but my husband was a Jeep die hard. After driving his 02 Cherokee for a Chicago winter I decided to bite the bullet and get one of my own. Sadly this car has proven Japanese is better.
