I have a habit of grand cherokees every 3 years or so. I think my 2021 Trailhawk is going to be in the driveway for a while more. 60K miles and really a great driver.
The new ones just don’t do it for me for a lot of reasons. Have rented a couple that were just ok. Hate the transmission radio knob instead of a. Shifter.
Plus Trailhawk is now a turbo 4 hybrid I think and over 70k.

Sucks don’t it

the transmission radio knob instead of a. Shifter.,what were they thinking

Yeah, my 2015 Durango had that, and I hated it. The 2020 Grand Cherokee, that I traded it in on, has a console shifter, as God intended.

Here's an example of what's going on with them. We bought our 2022 Grand Cherokee L new. Its a nice vehicle - the most we've ever spent on a vehicle. Except for the memory seat. That thing as never consistently worked right from the start. The Mrs. drives it most of the time (her daily driver). When I go to drive it, rather than the seat going to my memory position, it often slides all the way back and reclines all the way down. Then when the Mrs. goes to drive it again, it slides the seat all the way forward and tries to crush her into the steering wheel (ala Christine). It's like the thing is possessed. It's been at the dealership 5 times (so far) without them being able to get it fixed. Each time at the dealership, it goes in with a Jeep case number that the tech is supposed to contact Jeep with and work with their tech. I don't think that's ever happened. It was there the last week of August for 4 days. All they did was reprogram the key fobs - something that I and the dealer have done several times before. Surprise - that didn't fix it.

After this last time, I finally got a supervisor from Jeep on the phone. The case manager, while trying to be helpful, is hard to understand due to a think accent. And his emails read like scams due to English not being his first language. Last week, they finally ended up giving us an extended protection plan that covers everything on the vehicle for up to 6 years and 125k miles for no cost to us (a $5900. value). So at least we have that now that the original warranty is up (it just rolled past 36k miles). I still think they'd be dollars ahead if they'd just replaced the system to begin with - like I've been telling them since early on. It's scheduled to go back in in October for more futility.

Our oldest son just bought the 2024 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk. Its 4 months old and has been back to the dealership 4 times and has less than 400 miles on it. All 4 times the electronics just shut down. It went back last week and this time he has lawyers involved. Also have a very good freind who is a senior VP at Chrysler Headquarters who is involved. In the meantime they gave him a Grand Cherokee to use until this is resolved. Sounds like the Lemon Law will be in play since its been over 30 days for the same issue. Lets see if the Chrysler legal team just says to start up the paper work to just give him a new Jeep and they keep the POS.
