Jeep Cherokee Reviews

Purchase a Jeep Cherokee Limited Edition back in September of 2015. Vehicle has been great since recently. Engine light came on and some fuel sensor went on the vehicle. The Jeep Dealer changed the part and updated the Engine software and supposedly this ECO Light / Mode feature is no longer available for this model. Worked great for 5 years and now I have to live without it. According to FCA it used to work off the Radio feature through RA3/4 and the software update zapped it I guess? Was considering purchasing a new Jeep but am rethinking that option at this time at least until I can get a valid reason as to why anyone would lose features once purchased. Not the vehicle I purchased believe it or not...

I am the owner of 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Eco Diesel. I purchased this vehicle hoping to keep it for a long time. I have had over 16 different cars and trucks in my driving years. I have never had vehicle in the Dealership so many times for updates and check engine lights at least 7 different times in two years. The latest breakdown is a leaking fuel line. Could have been a dangerous problem had I not noticed it leaking. The Jeep has never spent a winter in NY. Purchased this in Florida and I spend every winter in Florida. This line is under metal guard so it is never exposed to the elements. You can't buy just the one line. You must buy the fuel line bundle. Jeep will not even listen to me the Jeep has only 63000 miles. This is the last one I will ever buy. Customer Sevice is bad and reliability of this is terrible.

I have a 2020 Jeep Cherokee latitude with only 534 miles. The transmission feel like it's going out. Rough shifting and when I put the car and drive it goes back first then goes forward. There is no open recalls on my car as of 4/03/2020.

This is my third Jeep Grand Cherokee in the last 21 years. I bought a new 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Limited and now have 79,000 miles on it (02/20). The size fits the nitch of not being small, and yet not bulky like the larger SUVs. It has had a couple of small recalls and three extended warranty (72-77K) items repaired ($5,500), at my $100 deductible each (Front end/valve cover gasket/radiator). It rides nice, though a bit rocky on sharp really bumpy turns; stiffer suspension than a car. Low road noise. Handles the road well in all driving conditions. Front and rear seats are comfortable, but not plush. Great sound and NAV systems.

I purchased this truck 2018 with about 6k miles on it. As of today I have about 34k miles on it. I had to replace the battery last year, just found out that it needs a new thermostat in it which is going to cost me over $700 to repair. Not only that they are told me last year that the rotors needed to be turned because the truck was sitting, the first year I had the truck I put over 15k on it, is that sitting? NO it's not. People would tell me that I will never buy another truck if it's not a Jeep. WRONG!!! I will never purchase another Jeep. I am not getting any help on this matter from the manufacturer. I understand that warranties expire but to find out from a dealership that this truck has had issues with the thermostat and they are not doing anything about it, I don't want to deal with that. I do not recommended this truck to anyone. I am wanting to take it back to the dealership and give them the keys and walk away, that's how bad it is.

Juan hooked me up with this baller Jeep Cherokee like a boss. He made the process real smooth and as quick as possible with no hiccups at all. My dude is the bomb dot com for real. If you need the hook up on a new whip, Juan Ready is your man!

The 4x4 in the jeep is great but not as refined as my last Edge AWD. The 3.2 v6 with the 9 speed trans is more peppy than my past Edge 3.5 v6. The only week link is the transmission. It hasn't given me any trouble but in lower gears it gets a little confused as to which gear it should be in. It actually drive best if you put your foot in it and try not to granny drive it.

There have been several issues with this vehicle. First very soon after the purchase of the vehicle I noticed paint peeling off of the backup screen electric eye area. Took the vehicle into the dealership and told them about it and they dabbed a little touch paint on the area and said I agreed to the process. I never did. Second the vehicle started using a quart of oil every 2000 miles and again I took it to the dealership and they told me that was normal for my vehicle. Thirdly, the paddle shifter quit working and again I took it back to the dealership and they told me not to use that feature. Chrysler warranty a big joke. Not happy one little bit.

It's a comfortable vehicle with plenty of cabin space. The car handles well in high speed and good maneuverability in traffic given the size. Engine is a bit sluggish and the mileage is a bit low for its size.

We bought our Jeep brand new in 2007. It is 2019 and have had no major issues and very few minor issues. We moved to Chile in 2017 and shipped our Jeep so we would have it. The sun in Chile is brutal, so we will have to have it painted. The area we live in is mountains, so we had to have the one of the brake shoes repaired. Considering it is 12 (probably really 13) years old, this is amazing! The only bad thing, gas millage is horrible. :-(

I got this on the recommendation of a Jeep owner who is part of a Jeep loving family. I wanted a dependable practical 4wd that could tow a medium heavy load. It’s had a few maintenance needs that all cars need. Repairs and maintenance averaged $300.00. Brakes were more. It’s black and I almost didn’t buy it for that reason- just don’t relate to black painted cars. But it was. In good shape and drove well. I’m glad I bought this Jeep.

Blind spots on front/sides due to wide pillars on windshield; difficult to see pedestrians without moving body forward and to the side. Would like more power on inclines and passing. Comfortable seats. Easy to operate, dependable; very basic with minimal electronics. I like the looks and design.

My vehicle from purchase date has been in the repair shop more times than I care to mention. Right now it turns off all the time and they cant figure out what is wrong with it. Worse purchase I have ever made. I will never buy Jeep/Chrysler brand EVER EVER again!

I love my Jeep for the comfort, style and features. Love having a bluetooth phone capability. This is the third Jeep we have owned over the last 19 years, with different cars in between but we seem to keep coming back to the Jeep.

Diehard for simplicity and my 96 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4x4 fits the bill and my lifestyle of camping and trout fishing. State of the art for its time of production, computer assisted engine. I like the fact that it's a light body mid-size, (approximately 17.5' overall length), equipped with a 4.0L Inline 6 cylinder engine that has the reputation of clocking 300K miles on its engine. I am the original owner of this vehicle and have so far clocked 150K miles on the original engine, I'm on my second transmission, (AW4), and water pump. Seriously considering having the timing chain condition diagnosed and a new exhaust system installed, but not sure of a trustworthy mechanic in my area that can do it, yet.

Jeep Cherokee is the perfect small SUV for women who are generally of smaller statue yet would like to drive a sporty responsive vehicle. This vehicle is also great in northern parts of the country where there is a myriad of weather.

The front seats not as comfortable as could be. Roof seems too flexible like an oil can. 3.2L engine is quiet, powerful, and economical. Trans is smooth, but fill check is a hassle. No other complaints.

This vehicle has been very dependable and I feel safe driving it. Able to carry a lot. It's an 8 cylinder so not so good on gas but it goes through the snow very well. Just routine maintenance keeps it in good shape.

I purchased 2019 Jeep Cherokee and within 10-15,000 miles I began to experience oil consumption problems. After several visits to the dealership service dept, and oil consumption program, I was able to receive a new engine. However, after just 3 weeks, I checked the oil, and noticed it was already down 1/2 quart. Once again, the car has been in the service dept and again placed on an oil consumption program. Most likely will need another engine. I have received nothing but the run around with this vehicle, which I feel Chrysler should take responsibility and pay off the loan and/or replace the entire vehicle.

In short, my 2019 Jeep Cherokee had been in the shop 4 times for Uconnect issues. Radio/Audio, Bluetooth was lost multiple times and I would have nothing. The last time it occurred I brought it to the dealer and the service manager witnessed it. However, when it got to the tech, it was not occurring. I opened a case with Jeep, got assigned a caseworker, and that was it. I tried to reach out to the case manager multiple times as did the service dept. They "said" it was going to a specialist, but no one ever contacted the dealer OR me.

Everything seemed great with this SUV. I take great care of it. But after 15,000 miles the engine went belly up. Died several times in the intersection. To break down the price per mile on this car, I paid well over $1 per mile! I could pay a human being to carry me instead at that rate. And they’re less likely to die in an intersection! I tried to do the right thing for the country and buy American, but I’ll stick with German and Japanese because of quality control. Or basically any car company that their engines last more than 9 months.

I leased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee on March 09, 2019. I had it for a day less than a week and it went into limp mode while trying to pass a vehicle. The Jeep was on the way to the dealer already because the lip to the window guard was bent and had to be replaced. They cleared the code and sent us on our way. Was good until just about home. Had to go 20 miles per hour due to going back into limp mode. Called Chrysler to come get it. They never showed up until the next day and it has been in the garage till this day May 28, 2019 and they are fighting me about getting out of my lease!! I have always been a Jeep Girl but I will never own a Jeep even if you paid me to drive it!! I am currently fighting Lemon Law for a 2019 Leased Jeep Cherokee and Jeep as well as Chrysler. Knowing it was a manufacturing warranty they still will not let me out of my lease.

I purchased a Jeep Cherokee Sport 2015 about 3 plus years ago. Since the day I left the lot (Jack Phelan Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Countryside, IL) that car created one problem after another. Some of the issues were dealership related, like the broken windshield, flat tire, oil marks on the inside of the interior and replacement of the interior seats, the wrong ones. But in general, the quality of the car was sub-par to say the least. The engine problem, which really should be recalled, has stalled or stopped over 17 times. Seventeen!

I bought the 2018 Jeep Cherokee with 13,000 miles. I drove it about 2 months and it stalled. Eventually, I discovered that it was out of oil. Seems the low oil pressure warning (DING!) only came on for 1/2 second during hard turns (I looked quick). I assumed someone forgot to change the oil at the dealership, and it worked fine when the oil was replaced (full synthetic). Within 1500 miles, stalled again. Checked the oil and it's bone dry. Leak? Nope, I park it at work and home and no oil spots. Checked the forums and this is typical. Local dealership suggests I just check and top off the oil every time I fill the tank. REALLY?! Now, the "Service Shifter" lights come on and locks up the console and shifter indicator. This too is "normal" according to forums and can be reset after re-starting the car (about every week it comes on). When are they going to force a recall on this piece of junk. Never again.

I recently purchased a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with all the bells and whistles “lane assist, forward collision warning. etc." After a couple months of driving the Jeep I noticed my 4x4 wasn’t working and I had developed a oil leak from the oil cooler. I call my local Jeep dealer and schedule an appointment, they agree to fit me into their schedule ASAP to get my warranty work completed before my warranty expired. So a few days later I take my Jeep in to have the oil cooler and PTU replaced. The dealer I took my Jeep into service was backed up and it would take a week or so to complete the work. A week went by I called to see the progress on my Jeep and come to find out they can’t get to the PTU “Power Train Unit" replacement until next week. So I and the service advisor agree to let me come get my Jeep and make another appointment for the PTU. No big deal.

Don’t waste your money on this car or company.

I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee latitude which I purchased March 2018. I must say this one of the worst purchases ever. The vehicle drives slow even when I press on the gas and then it jerks and pulls while I’m driving and unfortunately I have to wait a whole week for the dealer to look at it. I looked at several reviews and it looks like it may be the transmission. This is my only vehicle and I have no transportation to work or my classes. This is very stressful and frustrating.

I love it. It drives super good and comfy. Gets good gas mileage as well. It’s by far the best vehicle we have had in a long while. I like having the usb ports and blue tooth sxm radio and the ability to insert sim cards is nice. Heated seats and steering wheel is great. Having power windows and seats are good as well. The only issue I have is the backseat space being so small and when you add three kids in three car seats it’s hard for them to buckle. They don’t have much space for leg room or to buckle if everyone is in there. It’s just super tight back there. But, it's a wonderful updated vehicle.

I love my 1998 Jeep. It may be 20 years old but it runs like a new one. The ride is smooth and comfortable. My Jeep has 5-speed manual transmission. That's the thing I like most about it and the reason I chose it over the other vehicles that were available. However, I don't like size of the backseat and the back fours. I have 3 kids, 1 in a booster seat, and when all 3 are in the backseat they are very crowded. The back door openings are also not very large due to the fact that they follow the outline of the back tires which cuts off a lot of extra space to exit the back seat. But it gets great gas mileage for an SUV, in fact, it gets better gas mileage than my mom in law's Impala.

I had always heard that Jeep was a well-built brand and that they last forever. I was tired of getting a new vehicle every couple of years and the fact that I always have to buy used makes it very hard to get a good quality vehicle so the staying power was my biggest concern. I bought the Jeep Cherokee used so we have had a lot of problems with the battery as well as the engine. The dealer that I bought it from did offer a warranty plan that I took advantage of so the problem with the engine was fixed at no cost to me but not too confident about how long the fix will last. I love most of the options that the car includes but the problems just keep coming always waiting for the next problem to present itself. The parts are also very pricey and it is hard to find someone that can work on them and when you do find someone it takes forever for them to complete the repairs and often times they cost way more than I planned on.
