Faults:

Constant fault codes, stupid electrical problems such as blowing fuses and light bulbs, it hesitates while accelerating, radiator went south, transfer case making a strange noise (dealer can't find anything wrong), transmission leaks and clunks, engine developed a ticking sound... going to the shop on Monday, and I'm afraid to find out what it is.

General Comments:

Looks great, but the lack of quality build is alarming... it will nickel and dime you to death, and the parts are very expensive.

Very thirsty... I could live with that, if I got something in return... like power.

Power is not bad, but not that great either... I should have stuck with my "ugly" 4Runner that had 470000 kilometers on the clock, as aside from regular maintenance, it never cost me a penny.

Faults:

Front wiring harness went bad and the dealership can't fix it. Worse, the part isn't even made any more so I've had to root around in junk yards trying to find it. Since it's a vehicle less than 10 years old, I can't believe I've had this hard of a time finding this part. Not to mention the repair itself is extremely expensive. Without a new harness, the vehicle drops into 'limp mode' and needs constant restarts just to get somewhere.

All around I've had electrical gremlins since the month I purchased the car, and I put less than 10k miles on it in 2 years. This is the last Jeep I ever buy.

General Comments:

When it's working, it's great car, comfortable ride and plenty of room.

Unfortunately it seems Chrysler has stopped supporting this model and I can't even get it repaired even when I want to.

Faults:

Front wheel bearing wore out and had to be replaced at 25,000 miles.

Rear axle is making loud whining noises under light load.

General Comments:

This was a really nice vehicle to drive when it was almost new. I liked the styling and all weather handling.

When it broke down two weeks after the warranty expired, the dealer and manufacturer told me "sorry, that's the way it goes".

Shortly after that front wheel bearing incident, the rear axle began making loud noises. I'm not going to go through this anymore.

Faults:

I've had the Jeep 3 years. After 8 months I began frequently taking it in for work. Things that should last 100k miles were dropping left and right. Transmission problems, suspension problems. Even the steering rack went at 40k.

The interior plastic is extremely cheap feeling, which I knew from the start, but as time went on, it got dirty easy and scratched with the lightest touch.

If you plan on having kids, forget it. This is a very large sized car, yet a toddler seat cannot fully seat in the back. NOT SAFE. And the only people that can sit back there are kids without car seats, because of the poor leg and head room. No adult can comfortable ride for more than 10 minutes. We had to keep the kids in my wife's little 4 door car until they were out of their car seats, just so they can safely ride. Pathetic considering the Jeep is bigger then her car and supposedly a FAMILY friendly vehicle.

Lastly, do not buy one if you plan on doing any off roading. The ground clearance was a big problem, and when I attempted to have a professional lift and tires put on the truck, it quickly began falling apart.

General Comments:

I was so excited when I first bought this thing. And I can't say anymore that this is a real JEEP or even a truck. It's a giant gas guzzling car that is bad for people with families, and very bad for people who expect quality for their money.

This car is full of cool options, but if the car itself isn't quality enough to safely get you down the road for at least a few years, what's the point?

After 3 years I'm sad to say I've had it. I've lost enough money and I'm done. We are buying a Chevy Tahoe or Ford. Heck, I'll buy a Kia before I come close to buying a Cherokee again!

If you want a JEEP, buy a real jeep. These Cherokees are just over priced SUVs that have a Jeep symbol on the front. They are not what they claim to be.
