5 Things I HATE About My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

[@brndojordan]

You should be using a parking brake on a hill. Place car into neutral place parking brake, let go of regular brake, let it settle then put on regular brake and put in park.

[@Teebiskit]

My mechanic told me to do it this way a few years ago and it’s the only way I’ve done it since.

[@f34rdascim123]

@@Teebiskit I’ve told my dad bout it but he said that it’s actually not good for the car for it stretches the e brakes wire he said it’s only meant for emergency supposedly idk

[@jfish9014]

@@f34rdascim123the “emergency” would be if your regular brakes actually fail, and you need to stop. Otherwise, use your regular brake pedal if you need to stop the car while driving. While it is true that the cable can stretch out over time, they are typically adjustable when they do stretch, and that would take usually over a decade or more before the need for adjustment. It’s primary function is to be used as a parking brake - most manual transmission cars rely on this feature for parking purposes.

[@simcptmike]

It's a park brake though, not an emergency brake. Never once used mine in an emergency lol.. The cables do stretch over time but it's not expensive to replace. ​@@f34rdascim123

I just bought a 2017 altitude, I love it huge upgrade from my 2001 dodge neon, I’m a gigging musician so I needed a car with 4WD and more space and my Grand Cherokee is perfect. Absolutely love my car and loved the video!

[@jameshernandez2929]

Seemed to really be stretching to find those thing’s to dislike.

[@EtherealoNe1]

I can give you a list too if you want one. I had a 2015 and it was a piece of shit. Bad handling, turning. So much plastic in the interior, I had a Limited model. Infotainment system is slow and looks old. The transmission sucks, whines and delays shifting all the time. The seats were uncomfortable. 40k+ Vehicle and the seats were shit. The brakes screech all the time since the day I bought it. By 65k miles I had to replace the PDC for $1500, the engine mounts are leaking ( Hydraulic fluid filled engine mounts ) I had a large evap leak, it needed a new thermostat, the ac intermittently started blowing warm. Lol, everyone mileage will vary but I worked for Jeep for 10 years. They are pieces of shit. They lead in no category. My aunts Chevy Equinox is nicer .

I love our 2021 grand Cherokee but same with the park sense especially with all this snow it got triggered trying to back out of our garage because of high snow. Thank you for showing how to turn off!

[@gracieval43]

Just got my Grand Cherokee 2021 Sting Gray color, love it!!! Thanks for the video 👍

[@Officer239]

I would say another thing I hate about those is the stupid automatic stop/start which does not help you save on gas like the manufacturer says it’s just going to wear your started out prematurely.

[@quayaba]

How do I turn those off?

[@simcptmike]

Yeah they say it's built with a heavy duty starter in the book, but I agree. I just leave my auto off turned off. It's such a silly feature and even moreso that it's default is on.

[@TheGhost2612000]

@@TheGhost2612000 I’m aware of it but it gets pretty annoying having to turn it off every time I turn on the car

[@susanp3884]

I love my Jeep but i hate the chrome and shining black on the dash, it reflects the sun and blinds me. I wish the would have used the brushed nickel like on the steering wheel. I bought some flat black matte paint and painted it. Much better, but hated to do it.

[@davidantonio4823]

Very honest review thanks

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I turned that stupid auto brake in reverse off as soon as I got my Ram lol. Backup cam is plenty good for me. Also, I’m sure torque is a huge factor with the lack in power you feel compared to the SRT.

[@HellcatGuy]

Yeah haha you have to turn it off

[@travelinman482]

@@HellcatGuy EVERY VEHICLE WILL ROLL when parked on a hill. Smh..

[@PAPABEAR_OMG]

The parking thing is bc the parking pin isn’t lined up properly to engage so the vehicle lunges to lock the pin in place

[@димакруглов-м8э]

Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven Grand Cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand Cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling. wk2 very durable strong suv!!

[@tristenlittke7593]

Kinda curious what actual issues will hit this vehicle from major issues problems that mechanics can't seem to fix or find down to recall ( engine stalling, faulty wiring ect) my mom friend has a grand cherokee and has constant issues I believe is a 15 or 16

[@EtherealoNe1]

Same here man. 2015 with 65k miles on it. Nothing but issues. I got rid of it actually while the markets high.

[@lousoa8745]

I’d like to hear something about the 4 x 4 system that comes with it TQ1 and a lot of people are saying that’s not good off road it’s basically an all wheel drive system

[@simcptmike]

Mine's a 2020 and the thing I hate about it is how hard it sounds like it shifts from park to drive to reverse sometimes. Clunk!

[@BasementBerean]

I once rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee, back around 2018. It was the worst modern vehicle I had ever driven, and the next day I took it back to the rental place and got something else. I could not feel the road at all. It was like flying a video game above the road. I never got the feel of the brakes, they didn't engage immediately and then locked, and it was hard to come to a graceful stop at a light. And, the engine hesitated when I started at a light. When I pressed the gas pedal, it was like it had to think for almost a second before going. I've never felt so disengaged from a vehicle. Was that just a weird Grand Cherokee? This vehicle wouldn't be so successful if this was normal.

[@martz3326]

Lmao it feels like it hesitates cuz the engine shuts off when at a stop. When you begin to move it restarts the car. It's a gas saving feature that can be disengaged. Learn the car you're going to drive 👍
