Give it up Fiat

Jeeps are no longer the American staple vehicle. Poorly and cheaply made, over priced and do not hold their value. I would NOT recommend blowing your hard earned money on any of them.

Oil leaking everywhere

C Sheldon, 08/02/2017
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.

Hate that I love it

Hunter, 08/03/2021
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

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.
