Used 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Consumer Reviews
2014 Grand Cherokee LTD - Giving it a Shot
I read some of the complaints but a few friends have the truck for a while with no issues at all. Firstly, you can not beat the deals Jeep is giving on these trucks. The value for the money is unreal. I love the U Connect interface. It is by far easier to use than BMW I-Drive, Audi MMI, or Lexus. Have an Audi and had the others. The features are terrific, intuitive, and easy to use. Heated seats front, rear, and steering wheel. I got the 20" wheels and the ride is firm and comfortable. The steering is precise. The transmission is the same 8sp electronic that BMW uses. It has 3 drive modes. No electronic, HVAC, or transmission issues at all..
Could Not take it anymore!
After driving my 14 Limited for a year and 20K miles and countless days in the dealer I just could not take it anymore. Ac issues,Uconnect and transmission issues finally made me trade it in. I had a early production 14 and was working a deal with the dealer to trade it in on a latter 14. I started thinking twice about going through this hell with another Jeep. I thought I'd gave the dealer another chance to get the bugs worked out because I really liked the Jeep and had done several upgrades. It was in the shop this time for three days and was returned to me worse than when I took it in. I'm sorry to say I traded it in on the way home for a Volvo. I sleep at night now!

Do not buy
I purchased a 2014 diesel Grand Cherokee for multiple reasons. It got great gas mileage, could tow more than some trucks (we have horses), it can do off-road (at farms) and still fit in a parking garage in DC. This vehicle WOULD have been the perfect vehicle however it has been in the shop at least once in 8 of the last 12 months I have owned it. It qualifies for VA lemon law on two accounts and Jeep still will not assist me. Its really too bad because the vehicle could have been a real home run - if it worked. Lost vacation time, spent hours at the garage, etc. and it still doesn't work. Going in next week to get the cruise control fixed.
I will miss my GC
I bought a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited with the Luxury II package in early 2017. It had 38,000 miles on it and was in excellent condition. I traded in a 2016 civic that I only had for 6 months. I wanted something more spacious. It was between the GC or a 4Runner and after comparing features and price, the 4Runner was out. I drive a lot, about 30,000 miles a year, I go on several road trips and I loved the fact that I could just lay the rear seats down and let me dog back there. I read about the horrible transmissions in these but mine never seemed to be an issue. In fact, I never put a dime into repairing anything on this car in the almost 2 years and 40,000 miles i owned it. But the warranty ran out, and I felt the transmission “messing up” a lot more often than I had ever noticed. So I went looking at brand new GC. That was out of the question. With a change in my career I decided I needed something better on gas for my traveling, so I traded my Jeep in for a 2018 Sonata Sport 2.0Turbo. I will miss every feature of this Jeep (especially the ventilated seats). If your thinking of buying one of these, find one with low miles, that someone has taken care of. These cars do not take abuse or neglect well.
The best of what we are made of?
To make a long story short, I picked up my 2014 JGC on June 13 with 12 miles. Made a right out the dealer lot and the radio (8.4a) would not stop flipping. Transmission would not shift out of first gear. Took it right back to the dealer. The steering column sensor was bad, which controls the radio and transmission. This part had to be approved and shipped by Chrysler. It took over a week for the dealer to receive the part, and another couple days to install the item and test the vehicle. I understand that mistakes happen and you can not expect perfection. However, a DOA vehicle, Chrysler's taking so long to repair a vehicle, and other little defects cause me to questions the build quality.
