Guys, I have had issue over issue with this model.

Guys, I have had issue over issue with this model. DO NOT BUY A JEEP CHEROKEE. I have put in $thousands in repairs since I bought the vehicle in 2019. Bought the vehicle lightly used - 33k miles - for ~$22k; willing to bet I’ve spent nearly that twice on maintaining this hunk of junk. I’ve had 2 other vehicles before this one. The Jeep Cherokee is the biggest cash suck you’ll ever waste $ on. It’s not cheque. It’s a waste of $. Take my experience and consider any other vehicle before this one.
