"ive owned the jeep for about a year, started with 95k miles now at 102k. the jeep spends more time on snow and ice then pavment. its the fully loaded model and it handles great in the snow. gets decent mpg for a 5.7 i get around 20 mpg hwy and 14ish in town. its extremely capable and no issues thus far. great for towing and long trips. only complaint is the buttons on hvac control are starting to wear threw. great suv recommend to anyone who needs a capable 4x4 suv thats fun and reliable."

"I bought my '07 Jeep 4.7 Limited in October 2012 and I love it. It came fully equipped with everything but the rear DVD entertainment system. This is the best SUV I've owned and it gets me through any conditions without any hesitation. I have a combined 22 MPG and with the 4.7 it has more than enough power to get the job done. When I take my dad to his doctor appointments he loves riding in it because he can easily slide in and out of the seat because the leather doesn't grab his pants like cloth seats would."

"I bought a 2005 silver jeep grand Cherokee laredo brand new in January 2006 this being my third jeep i thought it would be reliable like my 1989 jeep cherokee and my 2000 jeep Cherokee. the 2005 had problems since the start. it stalls in traffic and and the alarm goes off if you use valet key the air conditioner had to be completely replaced in 2008. i probably went thorough 10 sets of brakes. i have to change the battery a least once year. the most recent problem i have right now it overheats in traffic also. this jeep has been 76,000 miles of problem."

"This car is fun and looks great but even with new rotors car shakes at above 65. Sweet looking and I like the interior and love the phone option. Stereo good but rear speakers placed in position where they get muffled. Stunning looks though. I got the Hemi and even though mpg suffers I found other jeep engines too slow for me."

"Three major fixes within 80000 miles. There is a reason the salesman tell you they wouldn't purchase this without buying the extended warranty. I will never buy another jeep in my life. Stupid on my part!"

"My wife and I have been purchasing Jeeps since 1982. all have been great vehicles. Until we purchased a new 2005 grand cherokee, at 600 miles it broke down for the first time. electronic modules have gone out, soleniod for m.d.s. system shorted out while on a road trip, they are bad about breaking valve springs in the hemi engine, starter motor went out and we only have 67,700 miles on it. also don't make the mistake like us, we purchased a Chrysler Extended service plan. not worth the paper it is written on."
