I had my Jeep in the shop for about 2 weeks because someone ran into me. Now all of a sudden my suspension system isn't working. My Jeep is so low to the ground that it's scraping everything and bouncing around like crazy. Progressive won't even fix the issue reverb right the original accident wasn't my fault and I never had this issue before taking it in for a fender bender... I'm soooooooooo angry I have no idea what to do other than her a lawyer

my wife has a 2015 JGC Limited 3.6 with 110K miles, we bought it brand new. We have had some issues but nothing worth mentioning. Based on mileage and dealer's recommendation, I've been doing some preventive maintenance; idler pulley, tensioner pulley, harmonic balancer, belt, thermostat, water pump, starter, motor mounts. Soon I will be doing the rocker arms. All in all its a great SUV, the engine still running very strong without showing any signs of slowing down. I'm hoping to keep it for another 10yrs.

Wow, thank you! Great video! I have a 2012 overland. I’ve had ( or still have) most of the issues you mention! The rough morning shift is one that I’ve been concerned about… but no longer concerned! Thank you!

I bought a 12' Laredo new. Still have it, 140,000 miles. The thermostat got me as well as the air switch you spoke of. That one was $900. My starter recently went, another $900. Otherwise in 10 years it's been great. Drives like new, I've done tires a few times, got rear brakes. I plan to drive it another 100k. It's quiet and smooth, and it can handle 20 inches of snow even though it's got the base 4wd system. Best vehicle I've owned.

I have 95k on it and we replaced spark plugs and coil packs. Despite having these gremlins and wear and tear items, I'm still keeping it.

2012 GC OL. I had pretty much all the problem you discussed. I am not a handy man however I fixed both blenddoor actuators. Driver side was little difficult. Cost me under 100 dollar to fix.

About 88k miles today 7/17/24. No issues since my last comment on 2/9/23. I still go between 8-10k on synthetic oil changes. At that mileage interval, the oil still doesn't look all that dirty and is probably 85% full. The sales gimmick is changing your oil at its half life. The only way I can see needed more frequent oil changes is if you're always driving hard or if you basically drive it like a fleet vehicle, lots of stop and go.

my top 5 Issues I've had with my 2014 GC 1. Warn rocker arms, causing that ticking sound. 2. Thermostat 3. Driver Side Blend Door Actuator. 4. Transmission cooling lines broke off 5. Service shifter message.

The fuel pump relay was a recall. It is part of the tipm. The recall put in a relay external to the tipm. I had the replaced relay also quit. Only a $4 DIY fix though. I'm having a problem now where the engine will start and stall a few seconds later. You have to push the button to turn the ignition off to attempt a restart. If you just keep your foot on the brake and try to restart it the engine will crank but not start. I've been told the fix is to either remove the start button and use the key inside the fob or replace the ECM. Mine has been doing this occasionally for a few months but it always ends up starting and staying running. It happens hot or cold, in all kinds of weather. The security system that the fob connects to loses contact as it transitions from starting to staying running. I found holding the fob near the start button helps.

I'm on my second, really love to drive these Jeeps. My 2011 V6 Laredo other than factory recalls done, changed the blend door on passenger side, tight access but certainly easy. Although was experiencing a weird rear brake problem, on occasion the rear brake would grab and heat up. Was going to change the body to caliper hose, but traded in before. I found that if you change the oil filter (easiest of any car !) was to change the seal which usually comes with the filter to prevent leakage. My 2016 392 SRT has been good also, changed the water pump and themostat , had a shock go under warranty, but other wise has been pretty good. The Carbon fiber trim pieces typically start to warp, but I believe they have an extended warranty due to being a common problem. Otherwise I really enjoy driving these vehicles!!

I have a 2015 V6 now with 93,000 plus miles. Thermostat housing cracked which is common. A 28 dollar replacement and KZread helped me replace it and save a ton of money. ** Make sure you replace it with the updated part to avoid the same issue. It's visibly beefier at the 90 degree bend. Also common, and now covered are the active headrests breaking and deploying. Most are lucky and aren't driving when it happens, unlike me. Suddenly having your head hit from behind while driving will scare the crap out of you. Pentastar Plastic strikes again here. The plastic that holds the locking pin is thin (cheap and brittle). It will break and headrest will deploy, even though the locking pin is still in locked position. Still, those really aren't so bad overall and I still love my Jeep. Given the price of the new ones, I'm happy to keep mine which is paid off.

2011 5.7 hemi with 225k miles..... blend door problem is a real pain. Replaced water pump, brake diaphram, a head light and have that hood bubbled paint. Sometimes have to use the key fob in the dashboard to start the engine. It acts like an alarm issue or a fob battery is bad. The tranny gets over 200 deg. F when towing my boat over 100 miles. I'm afraid to trade it in for a newer one as it runs well.

I’ve own a 12 grand Cherokee for about 8 years now. 195k on the dash, I’ve had the thermostat problem like you. A few others been the headlight and blinker plugs.

I do a have a 2011 Grand Cherokee with the V6 and just shy of 210,000 miles. I did have to repair the air vent selector, big job and not cheap, but I have not experienced any of the other problems you mentioned except for the thermostat, twice. One issue that bothered me was the failure of the calipers, twice, and that happened suddenly on long trips, and I did not have a great time getting home. Overall, it's a great car, the interior and exterior are basically brand new, no rattles when driving and no issues with the hood. Very comfortable, fairly quiet and a great V6. I have the old 5 speed tranny, still working well, some "hiccups" when cold but no slipping and changing gears without problems. Will I get to 300,000? Time will tell!

Stuff ive fixed on 2011 grand cherokee overland 3.6l. All in the last 75k miles: oil cooler, oil filter spring, ac cooler, water pump, thermostats, gas cap, radiator cap, radiator drain, mass air temp, brakes, rotors, tires, new o2 sensors on passenger side, spark plugs, 4 or 5 blinker bulbs, ambient air temp sensor. Some shop mixed orange in 2011's special yellow global coolant, that needed tons of flushing and new water pump to get back to yellow. After 150k, now have O2 and P0420 issues. Must be PCV valve (horrible location) or clogged CC. The leather dashboard came apart, but it was replaced under a recall. Also brake booster replaced under recall. Dealer talked me into paying for a climate control blower motor something. New car battery, upgraded to state patrol sized one! So easy to work on with air shocks of Overland. Set it to max height, and you have all the room in the world under jeep!

Have a grand Cherokee with the hemi- kept getting service 4wd system and was told it was very common that likely it needed a new transfer case. Was quoted 4grand for a used one and no guarantee that it wouldn’t have same issue. I took it to a transmission specialist who determined all that was needed was a transmission computer re-program. $1000 and zero issues since.

True, but I have unlimited mileage lifetime max care, which is basically lifetime bumper to bumper directly through FCA. They said they wouldn't cover it. Now I know that there's still a chance that original warranty did cover it but max care won't, but that would mark the first discrepancy between policies that I've ever heard of for max care. Plus as you said, most people are out of factory warranty anyway, so anyone attempting to get coverage would probably be someone like me with max care.

The Dodge/Jeep/Chrystler keys are notorious for going bad and burning up the battery in them. They never "turn off". I have one key for my 2016 RAM that kills its battery every 2 weeks - and its a newer OEM remote at just 2 years old. Under a thermal i can see a chip always running warm and drawing power. I think it shorted when the key got damp in my pocket when washing it. You also need to watch out for the HEMI knock. The lifters will loosen and start tapping the valve cover and you will here the constant tick tick tick. it wears down the metal. And the Hemi's will start to burn oil when they get older. I've also owned several of the older model Grand Cherokees and have found even they had a lot of "common" issues that seems to happen around the same age/mileage for users such as the early 2000s models heater blend door warping and no longer working, and it requires removing half the dash to replace it. And the window lifters constantly break, usually its the rear right that fails first, then the driver And stay away from the diesel engine models of the Jeep Cherokees. My friends have had nothing but issues and the dealership was never able to fix them or even get the parts

I have a leak somewhere in the front of my 2011 jeep grand Cherokee. I have a little under 100k still. But the leak is definitely coolant . The automotive dealership I brought mine to told me they fixed the coolant leak..but it’s definitely not fixed. It’s more broke. For 2 rear breaks and rotors and fixing a clamp that went onto my coolant line somewhere…which brings me to this question…can you follow a coolant line?? I know it’s in the front because you can see the coolant pour out as soon as I auto start in the am before work….?? My grand total for the repairs was $983!? I feel like I got ripped off..I got my front breaks done for under $300 last time. I payed almost triple and they never fixed my leak!! Only made it worse!! I truly I believe I’ve got sucker written on my head-anywho…I just need someone to show me the round about tubes the coolant runs in the front of a Jeep…I’m to old for this and I’ve learned a lot on here..so hoping you can help or point me the right direction.?!

I would take it back to the same place. If you paid for them to fix it and they didn’t then that is a problem. The radiators are known to leak might just need a new radiator

Why exactly does oil leak into the coolant reservoir?

Excellent and very useful Information👍👍

Glad to help!

Had a 2015 with 178,000 miles, only issue I had was bad rocker arms, with the 3.6l traded it in for a 2020 grand Cherokee with a Hemi, so far no issues

Most of these problems are ironed out by 16. One that wasn’t and I don’t think you mentioned is the Park Sense module. It’s a well known fault and can cause the 16 onwards to slam the brakes when in reverse and you can’t de-activate it, it just reactivates itself. Mine went and was replaced under warranty with a new one with an updated module. 40k miles 3l eco diesel it’s not missed a beat. Second summit absolutely bullet proof

I’ve had this issue, I’ve noticed if I always have the break a little compressed when I’m reversing it won’t happen.

2013 jeep cherokee laredo 3.6L 2wd. Replaced oil filter cap, rack and pinion, alternator, coolant temp sensor, oil cooler gasket. Still have to do starter since its going out slowly, and also wheel bearings.

We own a 2015 3.6 jeep grand Cherokee. Today dealer tells me that it has a blown head gasket. Only 50k miles. Ohh extended warranty won’t cover the warped head. But it will pay for the gasket. Going to pay to fix it then dump it. Thumbs down with Jeep. Should not have happened.

Bought tje 2020 overland hemi . Headlights went out first week.1500$ at cdjr. Week later the AC went out . 5k for new compressor and condenser

2018, 45k mi - Blown head gasket, dead starter, dead batteries, infinite vacuum line issues, cheap seat cushions, dead door lock motors, 8” LCD bubble, traction control service light and dealer can’t fix it, O2 sensors bad/replaced.

Yea my 14 shifts hard every cold start and throws the CEL then goes out halfway to work on a 30 minute drive

I have a 2019 High Altitude CG. Bought used this past August. Already had hood corrosion fixed, radio face replaced due to delaminating, sunroof replaced because it was leaking and now my parking sensors are bad and tonight my hatch module went out and it doesn’t beep when it closes. I drove it for 8 weeks total and it’s been in the shop for 3 months of the total ownership time thus far. I had an 2004 GC and loved it. This one… on the fence. Seems like a lemon. Or just my luck with cars.

mine tries to open then closes right away, is it the lift strut or pcm?

You mentioned rough idle. Mine is starting to do that now. It is a 2017 and has about 63K miles. It also shakes pretty badly when I am stopped and barely take pressure off of the brake to creep forward. It isnt thowing any codes but seemed to start after I had a fuel injector issue and had them replaced. Any ideas what causes this or what I can do to fix it?

What did you end up doing? Mine is idling.

One thing I didnt see mentioned. Was 11-13 fuel pump relay. There was a recall. Didnt really solve the problem. I have a 2012 still deal with it once in a while. 3

My tailgate opens and then it closes about the second after it opens, but only like maybe less than 3 inches and then it closes again

I own a 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland. I would advised, Anyone thinking of buying one. Don't it's just not worth the hassle. I've gone threw 3 compressors 2 radiators hoses and pumps. An evaporator. which i did not repair. Air suspension leaks. So stay far away from any suv or vehical. That has air suspension on it.

I think maybe you just had some bad luck. I'm on my third Grand Cherokee with air suspension in a row and none ever had a single issue with the air suspension at all.

My son has one that occasionally locks up the brakes when backing up. It’s been taken in to the dealer who can’t find the problem.

The oil cooler are pos too.

Only issue I'm having with my 15 gc limited 3.6L is the oil pressure jumps from 90s to 40s and back to 90s in a few seconds, and goes to normal pressure once at normal operation temperature.

My friends ‘12 3.6 got replaced the left head and it’s still misfiring 2 4 and 6

Thanks .. always i was worried about shifting gear between 1&2 .. but now it’s clear 😅😅
