Used 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Consumer Reviews
Great combination
45,000 miles and still drives like new. What a great vehicle. It offers a commanding position of the road, and has the right combination of comfort and sport (when needed). Brisk acceleration from the 3.6L V6, yet I average a respectable 23 MPG. The only issue I had so far was an oil pressure sensor malfunctioned, but was promptly replaced on warranty by the dealer. Still have the original tires and brakes. Overall, still very pleased with my GC. 59,000 Update - Still running like new. Replaced tires, belts, filters (usual maintenance items), but still have the original brakes. No kidding and they still have at least 3/8" of pad on front, more on rear. Still love this jeep. Looking at getting a new 2019. Only problem is they really have not changed the design. Maybe I'll wait for the 2020's. 80,000 mile review: 2014 was a really great year for this Jeep. Everything is still as tight and functions like new. No squeaking plastic, suspension tight, engine is bullet proof. Good maintenance and care for this vehicle has paid off. Finally changed the brakes at 80,000, not because they needed it, but because I just couldn't believe they didn't need a change. After taking everything off, I could have easily gone 100,000 miles or more. I did break down and buy another Jeep, but kept the 2014. Bought a 2019 Outlander with the 5.7 Hemi. Hemi offered more power for towing (which I do) but suffers on gas mileage. A little disappointed with the 2019. Seems Fiat has pressured Jeep to take options away that used to be standard equipment. This push me in the direction to upgrade to the Outlander. I note some quality issues with the 2019. Assembly and materials not as good as the 2014. Still good overall, but a little disappointing considering FCA has gotten their money worth on this model. So here is my recommendation. If you can find a 2014 with the V6 in nice condition, low miles, grab it and run.

Wasted dough!
I purchased my 2014 Grand Cherokee AWD with the 3.0 Eco Diesel option. Everything about the car was awesome especially since I also had the trail rated package and air suspension option. The problem with this car was the electronics. Constant issues with the entire control dash lighting up with error messages, poor attention to detail in wiring harness (under fenders exposed wiring for headlights!) just a nightmare with multiple electronic computer flash upgrades. Then, while driving, at 65 mph and up, the steering would vibrate from left to right and the dealer was never able to fix it! The dealer service and customer support was equivalent to a third world nation; insufficient mechanics, no service availability on day of arrival, and no completed service repair on the front suspension shaking above 65 mph. The engine is fantastic. This diesel is incredible and economy was around 27-28 m.p.g. Not bad at all. Almost to the year, I was so fed up with all issues, I drove it to the Honda dealer and traded for a 2015 Honda CRV, AWD. No issues at all! What kills me most is the drop in value. I lost an easy $25,000 on this vehicle that the manufacturer claim is the most luxurious vehicle, and the Jeep name brand which is supposed to represent quality and durability, was a total disappointment. I should have listened to my friends that owned these cars pre iously. I should have used the Lemon Law! Get an Audi, VW, or Porsche Cayman with the same engine.

Not your fathers Jeep
Traded in my Lincoln MKZ as I am a SUV man at heart. I like technology in my car and the Jeep has it. Not sure if this is the Mercedes influence but it has more technology then my Lincoln did. Ride is amazingly quiet for an SUV almost as quiet as the Lincoln. Motor has plenty of power for everyday driving and 8 gear transmission shifts smoothly even when you get on it. Seats are firm but comfortable with excellent lumbar support. The speech access system has its quirks I will elaborate in the suggested improvements section. The Jeep is 2 weeks old and I have 1300 miles on it currently getting 19 MPG overall.
So far it is an excellent vehicle
I have seen reviews with problems on the transmission. The buttery smooth 8 speed (intuitive) transmission in my GC is the finest transmission I have ever driven. (second place would be my Lexus RX) It seems to figure out my driving pattern and go there for me. If I drive sport for a while it holds the gears longer when I go back then quickly returns. I live in VT and the off road is incredible even with the all season tires. You need to know how to drive and where to put the settings. The only thing I have had go wrong is the gas filler door stuck and the dealer fixed it. He said if it did it again they would replace the assembly. The navigation and radio is top shelf. Drives & tracks true.
A lot more car for the money!!! Nissan is dead to me.
This car replaced my 2012 Nissan Murano SL AWD. Before I test drove the Grand Cherokee I swore by Nissan... Imagine my surprise when I found out that for the same $ I can be driving a v8, have real leather, navi, xm and a bunch of other things, like ground clearance, a lot more safety features, way better built body and (most importantly),an extremely reliable 4x4 system that NEVER overheats leaving me stranded! I love this truck that feels like a truck, despite being almost the same size as Murano! I test drove so many suv's and crossovers before getting this one with 20" wheels... No words, for the money (and otherwise) this is the best car you can get, bar none. Nothing else can compare.
