Update 4/5/24. About 117K miles. Just this week replaced thermostat after check engine lite showed up. Cost about $450. Otherwise running great and has served me well. Update 4/4/23. Now have 103K miles. Just had the 100K mile checkup and all is well. As noted last time the only problem in the first 100K miles was the radiator. Still running well. Given the astronomical cost of new cars these days I just might drive until the wheels fall off. It is said that the 2015 models had some problems but I drive the most basic JGC model, the Laredo and theres less to go wrong. Still love the car. The wife really loves it too. Update 4/1/22. With just a whisker over 90K miles I've developed my first major problem. During routine service the tech noted that the coolant reservoir was low and investigation found a small radiator leak. It has to be replaced and is a big job. Otherwise everything else on the car is working as good as it was on day one. Update 9/28/21. 84K miles. Owned 6 years. Not a single problem. I actually still have original brakes: just inspected last week during oil change and they are still good. Been driving for over 50 years and this is the best car I've owned. Plan on keeping it til the wheels come off. Update 9/26/20. Just rolled over 72K miles, had it 5 years. Absolutely not a single problem. Only in for routine oil changes, tire rotation, etc. Still love the car. Quiet, handles very well. Great for long trips. Very happy with the vehicle. Excellent in our MN winters. Highly recommended. Update 9/25/19. Owned my JGC 4 years, just rolled over 60K miles. No problems at all. Replaced the stock tires this summer. MPG combined is pretty much stuck at 23-24 in summer. On the highway, long trips, expect at least 26-27 MPG. I am as happy at the 4 year mark as I was driving off the lot. Mine is minimally equipped but very comfortable. Update 9/22/17: I've had it 2 years now. Trips to the mechanic have been for oil changes and tire rotation. Last winter went through 8 inch snow (before the plow) without any issues and honestly I have yet to spin a tire. I've owned 6 Jeeps since 1978 and this gets through bad weather better than any of them. Ave gas mileage is now 23-24 and once, while driving from Iowa to Kansas City MO I was getting 29 mpg @ 60 mph. It gives a solid ride, has great handling and is quiet. Still would recommend it. When I was shopping for this car all of the other SUV's/Crossovers on the lots had much higher sticker prices. It's a great value. What follows is my original review. I looked over all the SUV's on the market, did research for 3 months. I wanted something that held 5 passengers (don't need 7 passenger seating), decent gas mileage, reasonable creature comforts but not all the bells and whistles. Something that, if there was a sudden zombie takeover, I could drive off the road without worrying about how the car would hold up. Already had a 7 year old Patriot so I knew what I could expect in the way of service at my local Jeep dealer. I decided on a fairly basic Laredo with tow package and a few add ons. My dealer posts the bottom line no haggle price on line so I knew the cost (about three grand down from sticker). Finally saw one listed on line locally and went in to look at it. The test drive, used car evaluation (they gave me very close to book in spite of all the squeaks and rattles) and decision to buy took about 30 minutes. I've been buying cars since 1978 and this is the smoothest experience I've had to date. So what did I get? A very smooth ride: if you need a better ride you will pay much more. Great handling on dry pavement and in snow: I live in Minnesota where this is critical. Nice interior that is quiet on the road. Comfortable seats for everyone; I got the power drivers seat with adjustable lumbar support which is excellent. A peppy 3.6 L engine that does better than I really need (you have to have driven a 4 cylinder engine to appreciate this). Gas mileage: about 22-23 day to day and on one three hour trip I got 28 mpg all highway. I really like the gauges which are well done and controls are sensibly laid out. Room? I just returned from a vacation where we loaded 4 adults and all the luggage and had plenty of room. Overall I've had it six months and can't find anything I would change. So far I've not had any service issues. I did purchase an extended bumper to bumper warranty.

Jeep Grand Cherokee a 4 Star Car in a 5 Star World

I bought my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 on July 1, 2015. Took it off the lot with 25 miles on it, next day down to the ranch for some 4x4ing, performed great (even with the stock Michelin tires). Next week I was towing my 3500lb boat and a car load of friends. Again, the Jeep performed. I also work in a higher profile office, one where we wine and dine our clients. Again the Jeep performed well, numerous comments from clients. The only faults I have had are related to the transmission. After about 1500 miles it began to clunk and shift erratically. I took it to the dealer and they performed a TCM update and it has since fixed the problem. Granted I have only owned the Jeep for less than a month, however I figured this should have been installed from the factory, not a few weeks after. If you're new to Jeeping, check out JeepForum.com, more specifically the Easter Egg section. Found alot of useful information there. MPG has been so so, around 14 in the city and 25 on the highway. Only regret is not getting one with more options, as I can see this is going to be a vehicle I will want to hold on to.

I have 40000 miles in 5 years. Went from a 6 speed stick Jeep to this auto. Took a while to get used to occasionally bumping the shift handle into sport. Sport mode really turns this puppy loose. Paddle shifters are really nice in hilly country or pulling trailer when you want full control of RPMs. Sound system and iPhone paring great. Comfort and ride exceptional! Nicest car I ever owned. Really nice in snow and ice. Not bad on gas either. I like the fold down rear seats and the fact that you can fold the passenger seat back. This lets you haul longer items inside the vehicle. Still looks and feels brand new.

I believe that the overall value of this vehicle comparring ride comfort, affordability and quality put it at a moderately high level. Recently moved from South Florida to the northwest corner of Arkansas. I soon realized with the approaching winter my 2015 BMW 428i coupe was not going to survive the snow and ice associated with winters in this area. Taking all the variables into account , I started researching viable four-wheel-drive SUVs. Comparing the cost-benefit ratio's and my needs as a single person, I chose the Grand Cherokee over other Jeep models and the competition. My 4 x 4 Limited is a nice mixture of the luxury amenities as well as the traditional Jeep practicality. Not 100% sold on the 20 inch wheels however. Without purchasing the upgraded off road terrain package, it was only available in the 20 inch platform. For the individual wanting to truly experience the off-road, I would recommend upgrading and purchasing the 18 inch wheels. If you're looking for a performance vehicle, the 3.6 may not be the engine for you. With fuel cost currently being as low as they are, I'm personally wishing I had purchased the V8. Must I must say, I didn't purchase it as a performance vehicle though, so the 3.6 will suffice. Interior visibility is less than optimal, but that's attributable to exterior styling. I must say, shifting the automatic transmission takes some getting used to. I actually took it back to the shop because I couldn't get it into park without getting stuck in reverse. Then going through a two-step process of reengage the "release button" and jamming it forward. After a little tutelage and practical application it was determined that it was operator error. Ha! All in all, I must say that the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a nice blend of luxury, modern styling and practical usage.

Overall a comfortable experience with purchasing and riding of this car. Only have it for one month and put on 700 miles. Best look SUV ever! Only thing not so satisfied is, city MPG is kinda poor, only 15+ at local. Update: After a year of use with about 16k miles on it. had three oil changes and two tire rotations. No problems so far. Minor complaints are: 1. poor paint work. rock chips appeared within 3k miles. 2. sometimes jerking shifting at lower gears. 3. Overall poor MPG at locals, especially during winter, only 14-15.
