Jeep grand cherokee car review.
I love this car due to the fact of its ability to go off road and on the highway and maintain good mileage. The heated seats and updated interior also makes the car superior to other “beginner” vehicles for first car owners. The only issue would have to be trunk space a little bit more would make the car perfect in my eyes.

Great but some issues mainly with the back opening.
I absolutely enjoy my vehicle but have had to take it to get serviced at the dealer for some issues. I have mainly problems with the back opening and it is inconvenient considering I need to store stuff often such as groceries and pet supplies. Performance is great though keeps me warm in winter and cool in summer with air conditioning. Great speed and very reliable.

Do not purchase, unless you buy the extended warranty.
Needed new transmission within an hour of owning—purchased brand new off truck. Transmission was on a nationwide back order. Didn’t see my brand new jeep for almost three months! But did not qualify for lemon law. Also had issues with jeep being stuck in park.

Does the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Have Any Problems?

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has fewer problems than the 2015 and 2014 model years. It has an average number of complaints compared to all midsize SUVs.

Transmission problems, including the vehicle not shifting properly, are the most common issue mentioned. Reports from dealerships say the shifting is normal and expected with the eight-speed transmission.

Oil leaks from the pan are another common complaint among owners. Depending on where the leak is coming from, replacing either the oil pan or rear main seal fixes the problem.

Problems with the interior material quality are also mentioned, including leather peeling from the dashboard. It’s most common in places where the vehicle is exposed to a lot of heat and can cause the glue to fail.

There are seven recalls affecting the 2016 Grand Cherokee, more than average for an SUV from 2016. The recalls include problems with the brake calipers, transmission shift interlock, fuel rail tube, supercharger bracket, cruise control, crank position sensor, and EGR cooler. All of the recalls are serious since they can cause mechanical problems to the SUV, risking  passenger safety.

What are the Prices, Models & Specs?

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is an average-priced midsize SUV, with a price range of $22,101 to $49,555, depending on the model and mileage. When new, it had a retail price of $29,995 to $65,695. Depreciation is average, losing 51% of its value in the first five years. Vehicles are depreciating slower than average in the current used car market due to a lack of supply.

Jeep grand Cherokee review.
I love everything about the jeep grand Cherokee when it comes to performance (off roading). Anytime I thought I was going to get stuck the jeep would slip right into 4×4 mode and I would get by no problem, never once got stuck in deep sand or mud. The only problems come from all mechanical parts inside the car. I have had my lift gate break, along with the cover for the sunroof and the air conditioning. Although all of these things were easy fixes. The good ultimately outweighs the bad. I couldn't have picked a more perfect car.

I love the look of the car, sporty but still high end, had a luxury feel without being insanely expensive. It is made in America so that is always ideal. Great for hauling medium to large size things in the rear (seats easily go down to make a fully flat space). Sound system that came standard is also solid. I just wish mine had come with a back-up camera. Driver seat great for tall person, though it would've been nice to have more back adjusters.

My vehicle is extremely reliable and has met or exceeded all of my expectations. Three years in, I still love my choice of vehicle and trim. It is a comfortable, smooth ride and is easy to maintain.

Why buy a jeep grand Cherokee.
I love my 2016 jeep grand Cherokee. The cars themselves hold their value well and are reliable. According to my husband they are also easy to repair if you have a car guru in your family rather than taking to a shop. Some of my favorite features are the leather interior and heated seats in both the front and back seats. All passengers have an option for heated seats with the exception of the middle seat in the back. Trunk space for storage is optimal compared to smaller vehicles. Fits my child’s stroller and groceries comfortably. Additionally love the trunk cover to keep items stored out of sight from potential on lookers. This makes it safer for black Friday shopping in my opinion. I also love the digital screen up front, which makes all of my settings readily available and easy to navigate.

Sleek and durable to look good while doing hard work.
This is the greatest car I have driven of the many I have tried. It is comfortable for long drives, large enough for longer trips, and it looks great. For its size it gets great mileage, roughly 26 mpg when I drive distance, about 17 driving regularly. It handles Midwest weather with ease, and it has a great heating system in it. The heated steering wheel is a gem. The only complaint I have is that the auto stop can be a bit frustrating and may lead to transmission problems in the future if you are not careful.

Adventure in the driveway.
I love my jeep. Even if I am only going to work, stepping into my vehicle feels like I am gearing up for an adventurous ride. And when I am not going to work, I am out in the woods with my family and dog. The jeep holds all the things we need to have a fantastic time.

Jeep Cherokee has great space and mileage!
The Cherokee is a reliable vehicle as long as you keep it serviced often and properly maintained. The fold down seats are helpful when needing extra space from anything from hauling a table to lots of groceries. The gas mileage is great here in the city and the price for such a great vehicle was a good deal.

Great family car. Great for long trips offers comfort and stability.
It has a great driving performance, the breaks are quick and sharp and the car picks up speed quickly and pretty good with gas as well here in northern California I fill up my whole tank at $65. The driver seat is able to adjust to give you a personalized back support and the trim I have has the speed paddles on the steering wheel which allowing you to shift gears it also has the available handsfreelink so you do not have to go onto your phone to answer calls, text, or your music. It offers lots of storage and the back seats even recline as well.

Do not weep and get your grand Cherokee Jeep .
The vehicle is very spacious. The trunk has good space to fit large things. The heated seats makes it more enjoyable and I love how big the radio system is. The radio comes with Sirius XM and comes with camera to see the area behind you which I love. Reclining seats is nice feature, very comfortable to lay back and rest. Tinted windows and big tires.

Roomy and comfortable Jeep
Love my Jeep. The only feature I don't like is the auto engine turn off at stop lights. Just can't get used to it. Otherwise extremely comfortable ride and has great features. Decent gas mileage. Good road trip vehicle and very roomy. Love the headspace

It is fully equipped, love the touch screen, uconnect app,
I love my jeep! Leather interior, sunroof, Sirius XM radio, navigation, heated seats and steering wheel, 4 wheel drive, automatic start, and roof rack. It has a very smooth ride. No problems so far. It is very reliable, gas mileage is not bad. Having the back seats fold down for extra room.

Great vehicle, a lot of fun to drive.
The vehicle is all around a lot of fun to drive and very comfortable. I did have a problem with the vehicle early on with the electrical, but the dealer was able to fix it (it took two days) and I have not had a problem since. The problem affected one of the turn signals and some lights on the dashboard. Other than that, I have no regrets about the vehicle. I like it a lot.
