Jeep grand Cherokee overland.
I have owned my grand Cherokee for a year now and I haven’t had any major negative viewpoints. There is a minor negative and that the air suspension can be a bit bouncy at initial driving. The positive, the interior color of sand leather and brown wood trim looks amazing, the seats are also comfortable and haven’t had significant road trip fatigue ( driving 7 hrs to Colorado). The air suspension provides a very smooth ride once the system is aired up. Cab is well insulated and you do not notice much road noise. Going camping is a breeze due to the terrain knob and adjustable ride height. Radio interface is user friendly and the audio sounds crisp and clean. Cargo space for the grand Cherokee is more than plenty for common items. In all this is a extremely functional and comfortable vehicle and I recommend it to friends who are looking for an SUV.

Several times I have had issues with the electronic start. Could be bad gas but not sure. Could also be something with the ignition itself.

Amazing things about the jeep.
The performance of this car has been amazing. I have had it for almost 6 years and it has not done anything wrong. I enjoy the double sunroof and how smoothly it drives down the road. The comfort of this car is amazing. I have black leather seats which get a little chilly in the winter but they are the best.

Good dependable vehicle. Good on gas.

Jeep grand Cherokee is an excellent off road vehicle for off the road.
Jeep grand Cherokee is an excellent vehicle for an SUV. Has a lot of power, drives smooth and has an excellent interior. The hemi engine makes the vehicle run very well. Rides comfortably. The heated and cooled seats are an excellent feature, especially in the hot summer and cold winter. Remote start is a good perk to this vehicle as well.

To get the best performance out of your jeep, keep up with regular maintenance. If it starts to differently when it runs, have it checked out immediately. You should get long performance out of your jeep by treating it well. I love the way my jeep handles. I will never have a car again!

Great car for those with kids.
It is the perfect size to carry two kids still in car seats without having to go with the minivan. Its relatively comfortable and has good features. I do wish I had an automatic back door opener. I also wish is was better on gas mileage. The trunk size is large and can hold a great deal of stuff. We often go on vacations where we seem to take the whole house. It will definitely fit in the back.

I love my jeep, driving it is much more safe than driving a car.
No problems thus far. High performance. Love driving in any sort of weather, rain, snow, sleet, sunshine. Cleans really easily. I do have cloth seats. The jeep is very comfortable, the backseat is large and able to sit 3 people comfortably. The trunk is big, and additionally you can fold down the back seats for additional room.

Reliable midsize comfortable SUV.
Overall this has been a good car. It is very smooth to drive and has plenty of storage space in the cargo area.

What Problems Does the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee have?

The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee has an average number of complaints compared to other midsize SUVs in the same price range. There are fewer problems with the 2013 model compared to the 2012 and 2014 models, making it a better choice for shoppers.

Electrical problems, including issues with the totally integrated power module (TIPM), are common. The TIPM controls every aspect of the SUV, and if there’s a failure the entire computer needs to be replaced, which costs over $2,500.

Interior problems including the dash melting and wrinkling, are also widespread, according to owners. The leather shrinks and expands in the heat and the only solution is to have the leather replaced, which can cost over $700.

Coolant loss is another issue owners have. Usually, when the engine loses coolant there’s a leak in the system which will need to be repaired, or the leaking component needs to be replaced.

There are 10 recalls, worse than other SUVs from 2013. Recalls include the brake pedal, power braking assistance, vanity lamp, alternator, fuel pump relay, brake booster shield, and supercharger bracket. All are serious since they affect the reliability of the SUV.

2013 jeep grand Cherokee - fun, versatile vehicle.
My 2013 jeep grand Cherokee performs very well for its age (7 years old). The v8 provides plenty of power and is fun to drive. We use it as our family vehicle for getting around town, but also take it on off-roading excursions occasionally. The “select terrain” driving modes (sport, rock, sand, and snow/mud) allow us the freedom to drive on dirt and gravel off-road trails without concern. The only drawback is that it gets pretty poor gas mileage (13 mpg in the city and up to 20 mpg on the highway) when being used as an “around town” vehicle.

Jeep grand Cherokee are one of the most rewarded SUVs on the road.
My jeep grand Cherokee has been very reliable. Olathe issues that I have had were either covered by recall or by my lifetime warranty I purchased when I bought my SUV new. Jeep has been very proactive on their recall fixes and I have been satisfied with the service I have received at my local dealership. The features I love most about my jeep is the hands free Bluetooth options. Also, I have over 100k miles on my jeep with luckily only minor fixes needed along the way. I have only paid out of pocket for one thermostat replacement all other fixes were covered under warranty, recall or lifetime warranty.

Perfect car for a family to enjoy all year round.
The 2013 jeep grand Cherokee model is an excellent car for a small family to enjoy. There are 5 seats, which include heating during the winter which everyone will enjoy. A large trunk perfect for beach days, the kids soccer game, or shopping. The only problem is the ac is not as strong as it used to be back when we first bought it. That is the only major problem that has been dealt with however everything else is completely outstanding. The model also is a 4x4 perfect for any type of road condition whether it be concrete, dirt, mud, and snow it can drive through it all.

2013 Jeep grand Cherokee review.
My Jeep grand Cherokee is very reliable and for the most part does not give much trouble or require excessive maintenance. I have had major issues that thankfully were covered under my warranty including a new radiator and throttle body. The car gets about 16 mpg which is not very good but it is what's expected from an SUV. I love the comfort of driving an SUV, the feeling of being higher than other cars, it gives more vision, less blind spots with the windows being large. I have leather interior which is comfortable and easy to clean. The car is equipped with a touch screen and navigation that is a few years outdated. I never got around to updating it because it is a bit pricey and the maps on my iPhone seem to be better.

2013 jeep grand Cherokee- love it!
No problems thus far, besides a wiring issue with the drivers side turn signal. Once we got that straightened up, everything was great! Gas mileage is surprisingly good despite this vehicle being an SUV. Tan leather interior keeps for easy cleaning, just vacuum, wipe & it looks brand new. The seat warmers work wonderfully in our cold winters, and the speakers sound great. Love it!

The resale value. The good gas mileage. The comfort inside the vehicle
The comfort of the vehicle. The way it handles on the road. The low maintenance

My car is reliable and comfy!
I love my jeep! I know I can always rely on my car to get me where I need to go because I have never had any issues with it as far as it breaking down or malfunctioning. It is comfortable! The seats not only recline and straighten like any normal car, they always can sink in or push out on the lower back for the people who like to sit more straight up like me!

Overall, I think it is a good vehicle. SUV.
This particular vehicle had tons of manufacturers recalls and I have had a few more problems with it than I have with other past vehicles.

Grand Cherokee owner for life.
This is my second jeep of this type. The first one I owned saved my life, so I bought another one. The vehicle handles almost everything. No major repairs or issues with the vehicle. I am a jeep customer for life. I make sure all maintenance stays current and the vehicle runs like a charm.

Thankfully I bought the lifetime warranty.
Overall I have enjoyed my jeep grand Cherokee. I have had numerous recalls on this vehicle. I have also had issues with the steering wheel control features, the heaters in the seats and issues with the vehicle starting. I purchased the lifetime warranty when I bought the vehicle so the cost involved has been small, but still a cost.
