I love my Jeep. I breaks my heart that I would pay so much and after a few months have to look at a dash that has started bubbling up. I have OCD and having my dash bubble drives me crazy. I am constantly trying to press the leather down , smooth the leather back in place. My car is immaculate I take pride in the appearance of my car. I took it to Milton Rubin in Augusta, GA and the service manager said he had never seen this before. After lots of research, I see it has happened a lot. Called the home office of Jeep and was told due to the year and milage 81,000 miles. There is nothing they can do. I am still working on getting it fixed but I can not tell you how dissatisfied I am with Jeep.

I bought this Jeep Grand Cherokee Lardeo with the Altitude package about 5 weeks ago and I am simply amazed with it! My Grand Cherokee is a real SUV and not a glorified station wagon, which many SAV's are. (I call them suburban assault vehicles)... I had 3 requirements when I was looking for a new used SUV. had to have a V6, 4wd, and a trailer hitch... I spent many days looking for this at many dealerships. Finally on the 5th day I found this Laredo... It had all of my requirements and was in my price range... I haggled with the dealership for 2 days, until we agreed on a price.. I live way out in the woods in Florida, and with the rain we get I need something with 4wd sometimes just to get to the convenience store... I love the ride, and the way the vehicle handles, brakes, and accelerates.. The Pentestar engine that runs off Flex fuel has plenty of HP 290/300... The altitude package was kind of a "blackout" kit, plus it came with 265/50 R20 tires! Yes, the 5 speed automatic transmission is not the best, but I can get passed that. So far I am consistently getting around 22 mpg in mixed driving... I will update this in about 6 months to see if I still feel same the way.. Update November 29th 2018. I still feel the exact same way... What a wonderful vehicle! Update to the update... May 29/2019. The factory Goodyear Fortura's were okay, but I'm a BF Goodrich man. I spent about 30 mucks extra per tire by getting the BF Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport with a higher weight and speed rating... We finally had a "Florida" rain yesterday and I drove into town. The tires drove perfectly! The Jeep is great too, no problems, nothing but driving pleasure... Update: October 2nd, 2022. Well, I got in a few scrapes and will need a new rear passenger side door and front fender. I'm going to take it in ASAP to get the bodywork done, then some brakes and preventative battery replacement. Other than that, she's still running great!

Bought a pre owned 2012 Laredo 4x4 From a Volkswagen dealership , ever since I bought this SUV it’s been in and out of the shop , I’ve only had this car for 2 years and I already had to replace the engine at 132k miles , after I did that I took it for a routine oil change and ended walking out with $2300 bill of repairs , I wish I never bought this clunk of junk, definitely sticking to Honda’s , Toyota’s , and Lexus’s .

I had a 2012 4x4 v8 for a year and it was great overall. The cons: MPG not so good, the Nav system is difficult. I have since fixed part of this by trading for a 2013 v6. Now the MPG is better. The power is acceptable too, I was surprised. I recall the 2011 v6 seemed to lag but mine has done this. Now if we can just get the newer Nav from the 300 it will be a great vehicle package.
This is one phenominal vehicle!!!

I have owned many vehicles in my lifetime (too many according to my wife!) but this is by far my favorite. After 16,000 miles I have not had a single problem. My high on the highway is over 25 mpg and I get around 20 in the city. Often I run ethanol in it to be a little green but MPG drops quite a bit. The car is unbelievably comfortable and rides like a dream. This summer we took it on a 16 hour trip and felt great when we arrived (as good as we could have been). It is very quiet, has a great entertainment system and looks fabulous inside and out. I am amazed at the comments I receive from people about how nice it is. There is not much to not like about it.
