I shopped cars all day and as a final stop and kinda last resort, on the way home decided to take a look at this jeep at our local dealership. I'm so glad I did! Jeep Grand Cherokee handles great, size is perfect, smooth as silk ride. I'm totally enjoying my jeep.

Normally I don't like doing reviews so early after a purchase of something but this Jeep is so outstanding I just had to do it. We purchased the Laredo model in March of 2018 during Jeeps model closeout and we feel got a very good price. I had been researching the Jeep GC for months and honestly went in with mixed emotions because of the mixed reviews. Normally I don't put much value in reviews as I never know if they are honest or not. So for me every time I seen someone with a Jeep GC I would ask them how they like their rig. Without exception they were all raving reviews, one gentleman said he had owned 4 of them, some going over 200k miles and no problems. So my wife and I decided to buy. This past week we took a trip to Montana to visit grand kids and family. This is a 10 hour trip, many steep hills to cross in Northern Idaho and lots of flat ground in Washington and Oregon. My wife probably sums it up best when she said "this Jeep GC just wants to run". That is a big statement when you consider our other rig is a Ram Hemi which runs VERY WELL. The Jeep GC handles like it is on rails, accelerates up hills without any challenge, passes slower cars without any effort. We just love the ride, the way it handles and for the 1000 mile trip averaged 27.5 MPG, speed at 65-75 MPH so to us fuel mileage is better then expected. We love the design of the car, fit and finish is excellent and interior is very comfortable, even being the base Laredo model. I am 6'5" tall and car like rigs just don't fit me, this one has plenty of room for my long legs and plenty of head and shoulder room. Getting in/out is excellent as the doors open very wide so tall people like myself can slide in and out very easy. At this point I just can't say anything negative about it, time will tell. But I suspect/hope its the same quality as our 04 Ram which has 191k miles with zero problems... I don't know the off-road capability of the GC but because its a jeep I would say it will do fine. For us we just wanted a 4x4 capable rig for traveling on the highway during the winter in Oregon, Washington and Montana, this one does the job. If you are in the market for a 4x4 rig that rides great, has plenty of power, looks very nice and can handle any situation you should consider the Jeep GC. Oh, and gets very good fuel mileage, the Jeep just can't be beat.

This is my third Jeep, the first two were great and ran well, I still have the 82 Renegade and it runs great. I am assuming that when they were purchased by Fiat things went downhill. My new Grand Cherokee has been in the shop numerous times, the radio has went out twice, the paint is peeling off my hood, the seats are wearing out and my transmission has went out twice in the past 18 months. I have spent $600 to replace the blend doors just two months ago and its back in the shop today. I will repair it one more time and run as quickly as I can to trade it in, I will never purchase another Jeep. It's a shame that the name Jeep no longer stands for quality

Outdoor adventures and long hauls

June of 2018 my wife and I along with our 11 year old took a west tour from Georgia to the Grand Canyon. We visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park, White Sands NM, as well as Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and Monument Valley. We took Apache Trail as well as a few other off road adventures in the desert before driving back to Georgia. We did 4900 miles in 13 days and I have to say we were well pleased with our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee trail rated 4x4. Should you be looking for a vehicle for some off road adventures as well as long hauls that won’t break the bank I highly recommend this vehicle for comfort handling and all purpose vehicle, the gas mileage averaged about 26 miles to the gallon on highway and I couldn’t be more pleased with this vehicle. Sincerely the Stephens Family

I'M NOT KIDDING.. '17 JEEP ENGINE SHUTS ITSELF OFF

I owned my first grand cherokee for 17 years. When I decided it was time for a new vehicle I looked at all the different 2017 SUV's and cross overs on the market and decided that for me, Jeep was still the way to go. My priorities were, comfort, style, towing capability, storage capacity, and a luxurious interior with great sound (if you get the 600 watt sub woofer option). The jeep came the closest to meeting all of these for under $50k. I took my first 1,500 mile trip last week and was very pleased with all the above mentioned (other than I haven’t towed a trailer yet). HOWEVER..... The 3.6L ESS engine (ESS stands for electronic stop/start) is designed to SHUT OFF EVERY TIME YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP LASTING MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. ). It does start back up when you release the brake but only after a noticeable delay. This is to save a few drops of gas, but think about this the next time you’re inching along in traffic, waiting in line for a hamburger, or wanting to make a quick right hand turn at a red light. Also keep in mind that when your engine shuts off so does the heating and cooling. (the sales guys will try to give you all kinds of BS about this major design screw up and will tell you that you can turn it off, BUT you have to turn it off EVERY time you start your Jeep) Now the GOOD NEWS. there is a solution on the internet that just takes 3 seconds to plug in your maintenance port and allows YOU to decide if and when you ever want to use this extremely annoying feature (I did drive the first 500 miles with the ESS feature enabled and it was very annoying to both me and my wife). I would not of purchased a jeep if I hadn’t of already found a great solution to overcome this design flaw at http://www.smartstopstart.com/ . NOTE: Jeep is not the only manufacturer that uses this dumb stop/start idea so educate yourself before you purchase any car.... 2018 will be even worse. I love just about everything about my new 2017 GC jeep, but would NEVER recommend it to anyone without the smart stop/start module. ($125)
