2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Reviews

Scale 1-10 I give it a 4.5. Sure it’s comfortable but it drives like c**p. When I got mine it had 36,000 and already had bad seals, so when it rained it leaked into the car, not only that if your alternator pray it has a recall on it because it will cost 8000 to repair in a dealership, let alone that this beautiful disaster has lifter issues around 85,000 miles even with normal 4,000 mile oil changes. It’s not great can be good but just all together mediocre SUV. Let alone electronic problems are insane to deal with. I would’ve spent the extra money for a Toyota not this pile of hot mess

I am currently on my second jeep. Before I had a 2007 black grand Cherokee. Jeep is my favorite car by far but they definitely come with some work. They are great for off-roading and having a family car at the same time. They are very comfortable and spacious on the inside. The stock speakers they come with are very good, I even put in subwoofers and it makes it that much better. Jeep is one of the most reliable cars that you could own. I do not think I will ever move to another car brand.

Very reliable vehicle. It is a comfortable drive and I have had very minimal issues with it over the years. It does pretty well on gas since it is only a v6, is very good at keeping up speed on the highway, and has plenty of cargo space for storage. It is a very good car for a number of reasons. It is versatile, stylish and comfortable. I believe they are pretty safe cars to drive as well. The body style has not changed much since 2012 so people are quite often surprised that the car is almost 9 years old. It runs very well even with a decent amount of mileage being accrued over the years.

I purchased my car approximately two and a half years ago. I really haven't had any issues with it. I take it in for regular oil changes and maintenance. My jeep has a backup camera which has been one of my favorite features. The size of the car makes me feel safe, yet is easy to drive. It also switches to 4wd automatically, which is convenient when driving over the mountains. Gas mileage is okay. Other cars might get better gas mileage. I fill up my car 1-2 times a month. 21 gallons each fill up, give or take a gallon, and it costs around $45-60. Overall I would buy this car again in a heartbeat. Already looking forward to my next jeep purchase. Hopefully one that has a third row next time.

The jeep Cherokee has over 130, 000 miles. It has been to Michigan, Connecticut, New Hampshire, upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, dc, South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina. Several time on some states. We done only oil changes, tire rotations, brake repair, new tires and other minor things on the car since 2012. We are able to stack two 18’ kayaks and a mountain bike on the roof for weekends and vacations. The front passenger seat recline all the way back for a great sleeping position. On long rides. The performance on is great with quick take offs and awesome gas mileage on the highways. We’ve only driven jeep and will continue to do so!

I love my jeep grand Cherokee. Even in harsh winters it makes driving in the snow incredibly easy. It has automatic 4X4 and don't even have to think about turning it on or off when driving. All Terrain driving is easy and fun, I've had minimal maintenance issues, the interior is easy to keep clean, there are options to update my car as I want to with current and aftermarket add-ons. Customization is easy and the cost of scheduled maintenance has been reasonable. If there has been an recall, notification has been prompt and getting the repairs done at a Jeep dealer has been easy.

I typically buy cars and drive them until it gets to the point of not being worth replacing or fixing things. It seems like this is happening far sooner than previous vehicles I have had in the past. It does not seem like they are made as well as they used to be. Parts that I have never had issues with on other cars are already breaking. There have also been several recalls including one regarding the jeep stalling which they now say they are not sure how to fix it after all.

Thank goodness for extended warranties! Lots of recalls, lots of problems beyond recalls, served us well as we put 100k on it but if we didn't have warranty extension would have traded it in years ago. Hate the Bluetooth feature - does not recognize any of the contacts and calls random people. The dashboard trim was defective from time of purchase -- and has shriveled up like a raisin over the last few years --jeep acknowledged there was a defect but refused to repair or replace.

I would say it's a pretty reliable car when it wants to be, what I mean is that sometimes this car can become your worst nightmare if not kept in constant check, my family had to replace around 3 parts already and we bought it less than a year ago. It has lots of good features though, such as the electric seat adjuster and the built in gps, it also has a reserve hd camera and a pretty good safety/security system. It is a pretty comfy car in general but the leather on the seats can be really fragile.

I had got my Jeep with about 12,000 so it wasn't completely brand new. It was well taken care of for whoever used her in her first year. It has been perfect for reliability, its plenty comfortable for an eight hour trip.(I haven't taken a longer one in this vehicle yet). I have the all leather/premium package so everything is electric. I hope it doesn't have electrical issues later because I could see that being a nightmare. For being a decently sized SUV it gets ok mileage but would always like better.
