Used 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Consumer Reviews
Cheap looking same old design
Friend bought a 2006 GC brand new that I fell in love with. It was a basic model but did have the 4x4 and towing packages. 9 years later and now that I could afford one, I bought a 2015. I wish I would have had the opportunity and had at least a two day test drive period. First of all Fiat has cheapened the exterior by eliminating the dual exhausts and adding that ugly plastic trim along the bottom. Next the Uconnect is a nightmare especially since the heated seats and other options aren't controlled by a physical knob. The dash squeaks so I know as my Jeep ages these squeaks will become really annoying. The steering wheel is too thick, your hands become sore after a long drive. Even with the lumbar and other seat controls, your back is sore after two or more hours of constant driving. Cheap interior trim and my leather seats are starting to crack in the FL heat and humidity. The dealer just repaired my transmission.... others have had the same problem... and now the A/C compressor is bad. It keeps recycling every 15 seconds as if there is not enough refrigerant in the system. Anyone who is really serious about buying this model or other Chrysler Fiat models, read the Consumer Report reviews. You'll change your mind in an instant. As with all Chrysler products, their styling is stuck in the mid 2000's.

First Jeep owned
Recently purchased my 2015 summit 4x4 by a private seller. This SUV was in such amazing condition and had 56k miles on in when purchased. Everything has worked perfectly and have had no complaints. I was precautious because I looked and researched some of the problems this year model had with the transmission and other recalls it has had but thankfully this SUV has been amazing. The previous owner had no issues at all.

REALLY wanted to like it... but didn't
I really wanted to like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Having come from a similarly sized SUV that treated us well for 12 years, I really wanted to upgrade our technology and other features we didn't have. The dealer let me take the Jeep home for 24 hours to decide. Unfortunately the Jeep drives poorly -- it rolls severly in turns and is not quick or zippy like you'd think given the engine. It also drives like a car much bigger than it is. It doesnt help that the steering wheel is incredibly thick. I dont know how any one would want to drive this day in and day out. It's really too bad because the Jeep does come with a TON of features and is a great value for what you get, from that aspect. And the Jeep LOOKS good. Recommendation is to really make sure you've given it a proper test drive before buying. I was *this* close to buying but decided to take the dealer's offer to drive it for a day.

3.0 Ecodiesel Review 1
First Jeep/Chrysler. First 4x4. First diesel. Bought new. Build date: 04/18/2015. Odometer: 381mi Previous SUV: 2007 Escalade. Was hesitant to pull the trigger. Reading bad reviews for 2014 model (electronics/Uconnect/tranny, etc.). So far so good. Diesel/tranny responds quick. Diesel lag is normal. Picks up quick on the highway to overtake or merge. So far averaging 26.5mpg 55-60% highway. Expect it to go up. Uconnect and drivers display is large, informative and sleek. Quick response to user input. Air suspension drops for easy passenger entry/exit. Overall cabin is spacious. Nice leather trim. Convenient/luxury features. Can't wait for 2nd review.
Heated front seats?
If your looking for heated front seats that you can actually feel heat, don't buy this one. The sensor is placed so far under the seat you can't feel it. However, when it comes to ventilation, instant cold. I have had the car a month and had the battery replaced and two dealerships saying sorry the seat is heated to its specifications (106 at the sensor) but sorry you can't feel it. We used a thermal heat sensor on it and sorry, but 96 degrees doesn't constitute a heated seat nor should be advertised as such!
