Bad Transmission at 85,000 miles

Unfortunately my transmission. Went bad at 85,000 miles. Off warranty, in the shop over a month, costing thousands. So disappointing, I went from a Jeep lover to a never buy a Jeep again.
3-1/2 years, still a great car

Bought my V6 GC Limited new in 2016. Now has 31,000 miles on it, and I still love it. 18-20 MPG puttering around suburbia (cold weather drops the MPG to 18), 26-27 on a trip. No mechanical problems thus far, and I still get compliments on the colour (Granite Crystal). It's a comfortable day-to-day driver and a fantastic road trip companion. I've towed a small trailer with it (for about 500 miles) and it did very well. My selling dealership periodically sends me e-mails offering me the sun and moon to trade it in, but I have no interest in replacing it. Other than another GC, now with Apple Car Play, there isn't a vehicle out there at any price that captures my interest. As long as it continues to be reliable, I'll continue to enjoy it.

Can't comment on reliability because it's still new. However, the driving experience is fantastic. I traded a 2013 200 convertible with the 3.6-litre Pentastar. It's a sweet engine, and it's even better with the 8-speed transmission behind it. I'm averaging 20-21 MPG with short freeway runs and some around-town puttering. That's much better than I expected, and not much worse than the 200. I bought it from an out-of-state dealership and drove it 450 miles home from the showroom (averaged 25 MPG on that run with speeds between 65 and 70 MPH - great for a brand new engine). It's a fantastic road-trip car. Comfortable, nearly silent on the highway, firm and supportive front seats with plenty of leg room, and an overall feeling of confidence and stability. This thing has all the hallmarks of a luxury car. The 8.4 uConnect with Nav is easy to operate and the big screen makes changing settings easy. The voice recognition works well, too. Minor quibbles: I wish the wiper control was on a stalk on the right side of the steering column - a quick flick of the finger for a mist wipe is easier than a twist of the turn signal lever; I would like the steering wheel to telescope out further as I like to sit way back (I can still be comfortable, but I would be more comfortable with the steering wheel a bit closer). The base audio system is not bad, though I have ordered Focals from Crutchfield to upgrade the speakers. All said and done, this is a great vehicle - comfortable, solid-feeling, and reasonably economical considering its capabilities. I believe it holds its own as far as features, comfort, and roadability when compared to high-end SUVs costing thousands more, which makes it a bargain. What remains to be seen is how it holds up over time. So far, so good, but it's still brand new. If it turns out to be reliable I will keep it until the wheels fall off. I have owned Chrylser vehicles for many years and they've all been great, so I have hope for this one. Update at two months and 3300 miles. MPG is up to 27 on road trips with the cruise control set at 75 and the AC cranking. Still averaging 21-22 puttering around suburbia. It seems the AC could be a little more powerful - my only complaint. Still loving my JGC!

MARCH TO THE SUMMIT

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

So I looked at about every SUV out there and anything that came close to the Summit in terms of the quality and quantity of features was significantly higher in price and also imported. The only other candidate I really liked was the Explorer and it really could have gone either way. The color combination of the Summit as well as the overall reputation of the Jeep brand was really what pushed it over the top. This one was the premium white with the sienna brown interior. I only wish that this vehicle came with the V8 option at less than extortionate pricing. The V6 pulls and runs really well but there is nothing like the grunt of the Hemi. That being said it wasn't worth another $5,500.00 being added to an already fairly significant sticker price. So far I absolutely love the vehicle and don't yet have one thousand miles on it. There is a long way to go.

Another hanger queen

I had a BMW X3 I loved but it had become unreliable and the last estimate for repair was more than than the car was worth. So I sold it and bought this 2016 leftover Grand Cherokee. I really want to love this car because its a great ride. Very comfortable and the technology is intuitive to use. But on two occasions now it's failed to start and had to be towed in to the dealer for repair. And on both occasions the "technician" goes to work on the vehicle and it starts for him. No codes tripped to indicate what was wrong. So the story is, "sorry but if we can't repeat the episode there's nothing we can do". So I'm stuck with this potential lemon that's not worth what I still owe on it. And if Chrysler can't or won't resolve the problem I've no choice but to trade it at a loss as I have to have reliable transportation. Should have bought the 4Runner I was considering.
