AxlsMainMan Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Any other Jeep lovers on here? What kind you got? I have a 2011 Patriot. 111,000 kms, and no major repairs yet; haven't even needed new brakes yet! Edited May 30, 2017 by AxlsMainMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Hate em, horrible things. I mean its one thing is you live somewhere with dodgy terrain but otherwise its like driving a king size bed. Perched up there like a fuckin parrot, its uncomfortable. Edited May 30, 2017 by Len Cnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Judging by the caliber of people that linger on the internet, may wanna blur that plate. Edited May 30, 2017 by AxlisOld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I have owned 4 Jeep Grand Cherokees since their introduction in 1993 and the first three, 1993, 1998 and 2004 models were fantastic vehicles with basically no problems. I traded in my 2004 JGC Special Edition, with 248,000 miles on it, this past January for a 2017 JGC Limited and I love the new Jeep. Plenty of power in the 3.7L V6, which gets 22-24mpg combined gas mileage and it rides like a dream..........I live in God's country and the roads don't always get plowed right away and the JGC gets me where I need to go when we get heavy snow......... love Jeeps and if I had the room and money to play with I would also get a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited to drive with the top off in the summer and do some off roading............

AxlsMainMan Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 That's good to hear you haven't had any major problems with your 2017 as I keep hearing the newer models are riddled with transmission issues and to stick with older Jeeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2017 JGC only has 7200 miles on it but so far so good....I have heard reports of transmission problems with the Jeeps but never had an issue with any of mine. Heard the new 8 speed had issues that supposedly have been fixed so will keep my fingers crossed. Here is an interesting website I found which reports issues and transmission issues seem to be #1 but all I can say is the 8 speed tranny in my new JGC is much smoother than the one in the 2004 I traded in but never had an issue with it. https://www.carcomplaints.com/Jeep/Grand_Cherokee/ Edited May 30, 2017 by classicrawker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
