Oil leaking everywhere

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
8 of 13 people found this review helpful
The power steering, airconditioning, transmission and engine all cool from the radiator which is prone to failure resulting in numerous problematic and on going oil and fluid leaking issues which cost in the thousands to replace and or repair. Jeep has been consistently rated as one of the very lowest in the industry for reliability and customer satisfaction for a reason. If anyone disagrees I have a 2012 grand Cherokee that you can get real cheap I will make you a smoking deal. Perhaps the good ole boy network fraternity auto engineer boys from u of m would like to take this gem off my hands, or wait around for another fed bailout from another up north genius like Obama, stay away from jeep Chrysler and their little buddy fiat, among the very worst in the world.

I purchased my Laredo in February 2022. I drive alot of miles each year for work and always in SUVs. I was a huge fan of Pathfinders but finding the old school rwd models with low miles was getting almost impossible to find. I never considered the GC. Their reputation was crap I thought. In reality early on they had a bad rap mostly due to recalls, alot of recalls. Reviews were harsh early on. What I noticed was being a 10 year old SUV was the newest review the last 4-5 years actually showed people were really liking them. Then after asking 2 family members who were mechanics what they thought I was surprised by their thumbs up on them. All this was because I found a one owner snowbird laredo with 24000 miles. Now fast forward to today 5 months, 8500 miles driven with zero issues, great mpgs for what it is, can hit 25 mpg at 70 mph. Its a nicely optioned version and I am enjoying ownership.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Limited V8 was not an option here, but that's my package. Tempted to give this car 4 stars, but I've had one too many negative experiences to do so. Still my daily driver in 2020, 100k miles. Pros: Attractive/timeless design, interior and exterior 20" stock wheels Sturdy leather seats Contrary to other reviews here - no dashboard bubbling issues. Laredo and Limited trim don't have the cheaply leather-wrapped dash. Cons: 12 mpg avg (displayed on dash) Expensive repairs. $9k total this year - ROUGH. $7k was camshaft, common w Hemi V8.
