    I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee limited. I needed to replace the oil housing unit at a cost of 1200 $. I had less than 70,000 miles on my Jeep. Chrysler has known about multiple problems with the oil housing units as they are made of plastic. Customer care case mgt. denied my claim and refuses to correspond with me at all. I believe that since Chrysler has known about the issues that some compensation would be appropriate.

    I purchased a 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude in July 2023. I loved this Jeep and was so excited because I had always wanted one. The transmission was messing up, had to get a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Now it is messing up. I am now in a situation where Jeep keeps saying they “do an update” and there’s nothing wrong. The transmission is hitting very hard and slipping. My first Jeep did this and made a loud noise driving down the road and I was told that was normal for the engine type. I am now out tons of money. I was also told they would take my first Jeep back in for what I paid since they had it more than I did in 2 months of having it. They shorted me thousands and now I’m upside down on my current loan with a very high payment on another Jeep with issues.

    I have had my 2019 Jeep Cherokee to the dealer on numerous occasions regarding my navigation system. I was told at one point Jeep has trouble talking to Android. You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve taken it to two different dealers and have yet to get a satisfactory answer or repair. One dealer did a reset 3 weeks ago. It worked temporarily but has since stopped. I’ve also had trouble with my Jeep beeping and shutting down while turning left. The excuse for this was low oil. Give me a break. I have regular oil changes so this seems to be yet another excuse. Now they want me to bring it in for an oil compression test.

    Currently have a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Last winter and this winter leaves me stranded with a dead battery after leaving it plugged in for 3 days at -40 or colder. It becomes stone dead. They say this is normal yet last year I had a 2017 van sit for 2 months not plugged in and it started no issues. Everyone including mechanics not associated with jeep say this is not normal but the jeep dealers say it’s normal. I have to deal with it. To top it off I traded my 2019 Jeep Compass in case the 4 wheel drive kept failing (3 times). The 3rd time getting it back the back end fell out 1/2 hour later. So I traded it in having to up my payments and locked in for more years. My only recourse possibly is to get a 3 party opinion in which could cost me thousands. I would never suggest jeeps. If you need a reliable and safe vehicle.

    I bought a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk used in 2020. At first it was great. Then one day, out of nowhere I noticed the floors front and back were soaked. Called a detailer, he charged me $250.0 to vacuum everything out and treat the carpets. Then, 6 mo later, it did it again. Same cost, again. I took it to local dealership in Lakeland, FL. They SAID they checked everything out and said it was fixed, said "it must've had a leaf stuck over the drain". Now, it's 1.5 yrs later and suddenly my back seat and front are soaked again. I used a wet vac to get a little over 1/2 a gallon of water up. Now I have to pay another who knows how much to have Jeep check it out again, plus another couple of hundred dollars to have it sprayed with mold treatment. I read other people's reviews and there are too many examples to list with the same issue. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP, OR A CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN.

    I have had several incidents of vehicle stalling, once while sitting in my driveway, and another time while driving very recently 4/20/22. The incident that occurred while I was driving, was a very scary one because it happened without any warning, and thank goodness no one was injured! My car is currently at the dealership being worked on. After the first incident, the Chrysler/Jeep dealer was unable to find a problem except for a oil cooler issue? I have never heard of that particular car part, but I'm no car expert either. So it is currently at the dealership now, and I'm waiting to hear the results of their investigation. I don't think I can trust this car to drive again, especially not on the highway. OMG!

    2017 Jeep Cherokee history: Found rust on left rear door seam, this is a new vehicle, tried to return the Jeep but the request was denied and promised the fix would be permanent. Took 2 weeks to fix and during the repair I was notified they checked the other rear door and noted rust and repaired both. This Jeep is garaged and only has 12000 miles. Found rust again, service stated body shop was unable to get to it until 2022. Now April 2022 and still can't get an appointment as body shop ability issues. Hello 8 months. This is a major problem. I also own a 2019 RAM so it's obvious we are loyal FCA customers. Suggestions are welcome. Dealer: Performance CJDR Centerville, Ohio

    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.

    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 keep cars for around 8-10 years, 100-120K miles; that is why I always buy the extended warranty, always pays for itself in the long run. Spacious back cargo area and easy drop down rear spit seats. A great perky V6, which handles nice, but not luxury; whether you are single or a family of 2-4, this a great vehicle to drive with confidence.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    After a week of this I "finally" got the Jeep back and traded out of it to a BMW. I understand from the dealer and the car rental folks Uconnect is a major issue with all of these vehicles. Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler refuses to address this and the customer suffers. I was a long-time Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep person...but no more. Look at the other blogs and such, Uconnect (intermittent issues) are plaguing these products. I would look elsewhere.

    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.
