Used 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A) Consumer Reviews
I got a Hemi!
6 month ownership review: I have just under 7000 miles on my Jeep now. I am still loving it. No warranty issues so far and no fuss. I took it in recently for its first oil change. Driving it on the highway is a pleasure. The cabin is dead quiet at highway speeds and the stereo cranks out some great sounding tunes. The seats are comfortable on long trips, short trips and everything in between. Ride height and view of the road is perfect. I had the front door glass tinted. The high roof line allows the hot Southeast sun to come into the side glass even in the middle of the day during the winter months. The tint took a lot of that heat and glare away. The Hemi is really coming alive now as the engine and drivetrain have broken in with some miles. I have no issue with the electronic shifter myself. I like the sleek look it gives the center console. __________________ I searched and test drove just about every SUV model offered. I just couldn't find something that excited me. I decided to take a look at the Jeep and was pleasantly surprised at the build quality, fit and finish, and overall appearance. Finally, an exciting SUV. I am enjoying my new Summit 4X4 V8 Hemi immensely. This is my first Jeep and my first Chrysler product since I drove a 1966 Plymouth Fury in High School. I had an X5 for over 9 years. I like the Jeep better. I also love the V8 Hemi engine although it is a bit thirsty. Still, the torque and the growl of the engine makes me forget all about fuel economy. I'm sure it will improve as this Jeep breaks in. The interior is plush and great looking. I like the look and feel of the leather dash. The HK stereo is truly audiophile grade. Combined with the quiet cabin the music is clear and detailed like I'm sitting in my living room. The only thing I notice is the navigation takes a good minute to boot up and the stereo is slow to start if playing from an iPod or an SD card. That seems surprisingly slow this day and age. The air suspension seems to give the Jeep the best of everything. The ride is solid but not harsh. The handling is firm and sporty. I like to take the curves hard and this Jeep holds the road well. The interior is the quietest of any car I have ridden in. Even at highway speeds a whisper can be heard across the cabin. All in all a very impressive vehicle. I don't know about reliability yet but several coworkers have been driving Jeeps with no issues. That was enough to go for it.

Dangerous shifting lever
Test the shifting lever which is electronic, when shifting from park to drive 90% of the time if goes to "N". When shifting from "D to "P" it will stop at "R" and if you are not careful and double check the shifter and try to turn the motor off prior to getting out the car will start moving backwards. The dealer tells me they all operate this way. I have owned many Jeep Cherokee over the years and this will be the last. Not good at all. Correction this is a 2015 model I have traded this jeep and purchased a Lexus because of the dangerest condition I had too many close calls? This is same type of Jeep that backed over the actor in Calf. I am looking for a Class Action lawsuit to recover some of the money I lost

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.

Air Ride a disaster
I guess you could say I was almost completely satisfied with my Summit until some one crashed into me. That was March 30th and my car still has not been returned to me! Why? Because Jeep cannot fix the air ride! Dealership repair people tell me once an air ride goes out in a vehicle its a usually is a continual nightmare. However Jeep say's it can be fixed, so why has it taken close to 5 months and they don't seem to be any closer to fixing it. So, the person's insurance does not want to total it since they feel it should be Jeeps problem to fix it. They will not take responsibility I'm left to dry and am no closer to getting my car returned to me. I will never again buy an air ride so BEWARE!
