WORST YEAR EVER MADE !! Beware
RAR -#DO NOT BUY THIS TRUCK, Stratford, NJ, 08/23/2016
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
I have had this truck for 38 months and thank god Leased it -- I have had Jeeps for years as well as my family - I dont even know where to begin with the electrical problems -- about a week after driving this car off the lot - the computer went out - brought it back twice - Still goes out - the radio stations all get deleted, the GPS - Im not even sure it is in the same state as I am … when it is giving me directions -- I have about 8 recalls that are all nothing to do with electrical problems - Then one day i started the car in a parking lot, left keys in it and what do you know, the keys automatically locked in the car -luckily a nice police officer helped me out - The fan for the heater, I have to carry an umbrella in my truck at all time to hit it for air conditioning and heat !! Now the best of the best - The ignition but, yep you guessed it- the car doesnt start -- It has to keep rethinking and restarting -- usually it will eventually start -- LOL i had less problems when I first got my piece of junk car when I was 17!! The key fob - good luck with the auto start - Not even sure that worked after the first year -- I have 2 very busy jobs, One of then is a realtor - So i drive a ton -- so of course the warranty is no longer any good - what a mess !!! So not i am stuck giving this piece of junk back and really only option is to pay for overage on mileage or release -- I am hoping 2016 is better -
Get this car if you like driving rental cars

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
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
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.
