Used 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Consumer Reviews
Unbelievably unreliable
We bought our Grand Cherokee 2 years ago and were happy with the comfort and handling. The 4.7L V8 has plenty of power and the interior is very nice for long trips. However, the reliability has been terrible. Due to an engine stumble that started a few months after purchase we have wasted thousands of dollars trying to fix this lemon. We've had it at the dealer several times without resolution. They replaced the coil packs, spark plugs and wires, cam and crank sensors ( multiple times) , engine ECM, Fuel pump, wire harness and the list goes on. The vehicle stalls at lights and will just die without warning while travelling on the highway. Completely random and extremely unsafe. This is actually our second Jeep with serious electrical problems ( the other was a Wrangler Rubicon) and our third Jeep. No more Jeeps for us.

2007 Grand Cherokee
Bought this vehicle new in July 2007 and put on 7200 miles in 3 months. Towed equipment trailer across country and back in 114 degree weather without any problems. I can recommend this car without any reservations. Best gas mileage to date is 22mpg- somewhat disappointing. Interior layout is well done, seats are comfortable, AC and sound system work well. Paid 24k new for this car- it is worth it.

Jeeps going the way of Chrysler
I have been driving Jeeps for 20 years. My last Jeep was a 1998 Grande Cherokee with the V8. It was my dream car. It was time to get a new Jeep. Wrong! Had the new Jeep for one day. Returned it. The new Jeep cant touch the 1998 except for the Hemi. Where to start. Windows are smaller. Interior is plastic junk for the 35,000-40,000 you are paying. Parking brake needs to be in the driver foot well but it cant because the foot well cant even fit my 2 feet. No rest pad for left foot in foot well. If the jeep had the interior of the Chrysler 300 I would have bought one. Whishing there was a brand new 1998 GC on the lot with a Hemi. Bought a Ford Sport Trac instead
Alpine Navigation Radio Rear Camera Bust
The AWD has a heavy draggy feel, especially turning. There is no manual switch on the rear camera (unlike RV), so no way to monitor a trailer via camera. It's instant off, so if you pull up, you lose the view. Objects are much closer than they appear. Adjusting the brightness of the nav unit is possible, but no adjust for when in radio mode, except ineffective dash brightness. I have a towel taped over the dash as all settings are way too bright at night. Per tech there is no way to turn off the display. Per dash computer, MPG has been a disappointing 11.5 MPG over the first 300 miles. Roadside coverage is watered down - no coverage for lockouts, flats or gas.
Our Third Grand Cherokee could be better
This is our 3rd Jeep 4X4 Grand Cherokee We both love the car but theres room for improvement. The Seats sit to high for me I'm 6'1 my head touches the roof with the seat all the way down. Interior is not as good as the 1999. The 1999 Had a much better interior a less plastic feel. The 1999 felt like you were in a sports car. The 99 got 17 MPG all the time and It was the bigger 5.7 V8. So far with the 4.7 V8 and 4,000 miles on this one we are getting only 13.7 adverage MPG the it does offer flex fuel but none is avaliable here in Texas so it's a useless add. I miss our older better mileage more powerful Jeep. But I still love the Grand Cherokee's
