Many, many recalls and you have to pay out-of-pocket when you get a rental car . I have basically replaced every major item in the car including the catalytic converter and complete $1300 steering gear. Everything made out of plastic so they either crack or fall off the car. Then had to replace the entire cooler and fluid retainer

Plenty of power with the hemi. Good technology package and plenty of charging points for your devices. Squeaks and rattles are common and dealers are atrocious. Fiat please sell off Jeep line to someone who will do it justice.

Dream car turned Nightmare

I was so excited to buy this Jeep. Coming from a 2000 JGC with only one $1300 major issue, I was so happy to get my Saddle interior. I was duped! Damn you Saddle interior! I bought this thinking this is a beautiful new to me vehicle that will serve me well as my 2000 had. Wrong! Within a year I was replacing a $2000 power suspension. Then a year later $1100 drove shaft. Then an $800 water pump and now... and now...$6000 for bushings, gas pan, steering rack etc etc etc. I won’t even get into the constant tire replacements. I’m at a loss. What a joke of a vehicle. The above isn’t even all of it that’s the saddest part. I bought this for something reliable and it’s been no such thing. The worst part... I’m completely stuck with it. It’s a beautiful car but damn! JGC Overland V8 Hemi

Limited with the Altitude package

Short and simple, This was a good purchase! Thanks to all the help from this website I made my decision to purchase this Jeep, and so far the vehicle has exceeded my expactations. I am getting 24.3 mpg on the highway, and 20 in city. I purchased the Altitude package that I get tons of compliments on (first compliment was a total stranger who said, "thats one sinister looking ride") I have zero regrets buying my jeep
