2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (whats it really like to own?!)

[@AmericanDucky]

Beater sounds terrible ... I’ve had my 2015 Limited Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo since Aug 2015. I’m under 46000 miles as of now 9/23/20, and LOVE it! No problems whatsoever! Previously, I had (my son still has it) a new 2008 Jeep Laredo. That one had issues with the windows falling, but once I replaced all 4 windows mechanisms, getting rid of the Mopar parts, I never had a problem again. The AC went out at about the 7 year mark, had to have it fixed, but that’s understandable. LOVE my Jeeps!

I too live in MN and I liked how you said it's a hit or miss of a good Grand Cherokee or a bad one, I think that goes to any car TBH, but I honestly was thinking of grabbing one too as a new beater. Life is too short to always own a Toyota or Honda 🤣.

[@goblue3090]

I've had my '15 GC Altitude for 3 years now and it's ran flawlessly. Regular oil changes and brake pads is it. I absolutely love these Jeeps. I have the 3.6 motor and 80k miles right now btw.

[@juandertavarez9244]

What after market warranty you buy? Its worth it

[@Silvertoburn]

I have a 2014 with a Hemi and it hauls ass! 101854 miles!

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

I wish i had the v8 would make the thing a bit more fun. Been running like a champ?

[@zerokool-2058]

Nice..! Okay 4Runner it is. Love the look of it though. If you don’t have extra money to pour into warranty and all that I guess get this. Or use all that money you saved to go on adventures on your 4Runner

[@johnheath90266]

I own one because of the rear wheel drive, non turbo engine, digital dash and size. Not a seven seater. Have had no problems in 5.5 years. Still like it a lot!

[@AnthonyGhandour]

Now what did you pay for it? And when?

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

30k in 2017. It was two years old when i got it

[@chipete1]

Would you still recommend this vehicle now?

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Honestly, no. Interior comforts are great but the mechanical issues are over whelming.

[@makaylajaredpierce4827]

What kind of mechanical problems have you had with it?

[@jorgediaz70]

Makayla & Jared Pierce same question here, looking into buying the 2015 grand Cherokee altitude, so I’d love to know all about it!

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

2 wheel bearings, a rack and pinion, lifter, a couple injectors. Been pretty rough for how new it is.

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

I would not. If you have a warranty for the whole time then maybe. It is a super nice and comfortable suv

[@hassysid9338]

Is petrol3.6 more reliable than diesel one..?

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

I have not had an opportunity to test the diesel one. Doesnt seem to be a popular option in the United states

[@michaelbarnhill2685]

You can drive a $500 car from Montana to arizona. You darn well better be able to drive a 4yr old grand cherokee wherever, whenever

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Ya you would think. She has had lots of problems. Probably just have a lemon

[@tyrellnez47]

Do you think a 2017 model would still have the same issues as 2015 model?

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

The v6 grand cherokees have remained largely unchanged since the last body style. I hear that you either get a good one or a nightmare. Since my last video i have also needed a rack and pinion, and another wheel bearing

[@tyrellnez47]

I see! I have the opportunity to get a used 2017 Overland with 40k miles on it. But I'm second guessing it now with all the problems I hear about it.

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

They are super comfortable cars and great when they work but ive just been let down too many times. Not sure what ill get next.

[@iancassidy9548]

Get the 5.7L V8 Hemi from what my research, and personal experience with that engine in RAM 1500s, is suggesting, they're way more reliable. Chrysler can't make V6 engines I guess. but that 5.7L Hemi was at 260k with just regular maintenance and not really big ticket items outside of the service schedule

[@iancassidy9548]

and, if you have the electrical issues with the TIPM that causes stalling, seems like theres a fix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpS5ZqJ3e5abg5I I'm looking into V8 Summit/Overlands myself. Really great package, very good looking, and the used market is really promising but the V6 just isn't all that reliable. definitely shoot for the hemi

[@theNextgen997]

How is the backseat space? Currently have a super cramped ford escape and I was hoping the Cherokee has ample backspace for my 1 yr old going forward. Also is the gas mileage good?

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

It has great space in the rear seats for even adults. My average mileage is arounf 17-20 mpg. My commute to work is mostly freeway though. Driving around town is between 15 and 17 mpg On my way to arizona i hit 24 mpg. The one downside of the space is no third row. The durango would be a great option for a third row. The grand cherokee looks way better in my opinion.

[@jorgediaz70]

I live in Southern California, If you could give me an insight on what warranty you had that you only had to pay $100 for the services that’d be great! Please let me know!

[@braxtonking1864]

Did you find one ?

[@jorgediaz70]

@@braxtonking1864 I did! I have a 2017 Grand Cherokee Laredo with 42k now it’s at 45k! I’m scared something will give out soon so I barely push the engine at all 😭

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Your best bet is to feed it good fuel. That should help the injectors.

[@marciaz31]

I saw U N Phx ;-)

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Really? Howd you figure?
