Scotty Kilmer would approve of this video

I agree with you Greg. I really liked the jeep brand back in the 60s/70s when I first got my driver's license. They weren't perfect but they were so easy and affordable to work on. As for the brand today, the list of what's NOT wrong with Jeeps is a lot shorter than the list of what IS wrong with them.

Thanks for telling it as it is Greg. I kid you not, almost every Grand Cherokee that was booked in for a logbook service, had the owner complaining of a list of faults on the driveway. To the point where it was rare that a customer didn't have a list of issues they wished to add to their "service" the only ones that didn't were near new very low milage ones. These vehicles seem to be as reliable as a politicians promise, and around as expensive to fund.

He makes really good videos i just wish he uploaded more frequently

Haha - summed up so well at the end. Yeah, that is very much the same thing many of the well known KZfaq mechanics echo as well. On a crazy sidenote - did you see that the RamCharger electric truck they're making is going to have one of those 3.6L V6s in it as a "range extender"? Aye yi yi... that is a disaster waiting to happen.

Love you're videos. Wish you made videos more often. Its a nice change from the hyper guy Scotty😂

Once you own Toyota/Lexus i couldn't be bothered watching this truthful video. Amazing Gm-Ford- Chrysler still around.

It's nice to see you again

Wrangler is the official vehicle of wealthy high school parking lots.

Thank you Greg; great information regarding the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I have a 2014 Cherokee with 131,000 mile an drove the hell out of it, towing a boat for at least 1/2 of those miles, its been excellent. Never been the the dealer. The only problem has been a Thermostat at 130,500 miles, nothing else.

Great teaching in your videos Greg thanks man.

Hey there, you helped me immensely with my first big car purchase. A 2009 CRV that at the time had 90k on it, I bought it from a single owner who bought it cash brand new and basically used it as a 95% highway commuter from his city to mine about 50 miles away. He literally showed me his paperwork as well as some recalls he had done to it, it was even kept in the garage haha

Totally agree 👍 also stay away from dodge-Chrysler and gm-chevy products.

Usually a manufacturer works out kinks 2-3 years after a new model is release and patches all the bugs. I'm really surprised that Chrysler didn't do anything about the rocker arms despite it being a bread and butter engine for them.

Extremely well made video! I appreciate your work sir. Thank you and can you cover the Subaru WRX next please?

I've had 4 wk2 3.6 G Cherokees. All over 200 000km. Not 1 single issue.

Great outro.

No No No, I love it. I'm guessing the lifter bearings were not heat treated properly.

I like the old school Jeeps as well, especially the ones with the 4.0 inline six cylinders but the electrical problems and reliability of the new ones are a complete disappointment. Great video.

The old days of the good old Jeep are gone

Your 💯right jeep Stellantis make some great looking vehicles but the reliability issues R just to much I looked @ the grand Cherokee trailhawk as it’s good off-road & towing I know someone that has one he loves it & the Ram 1500 but I was lucky not to be able to find a good 2021 model in Australia to try out so ended up with a ford ranger 2L biturbo 😎

I wished I would have found this video A WHOLE LOT EARLIER ... like.. before I bought a 2018 JGC..I already had to deal with the P0440 code.. now I'm dealing with transmission issues..it seems that it doesn't know what gear it wants to go in when downshifting at slow speeds.. under 40mph.. not very good in stop and go traffic..it disengages while in D.. have to cycle the gear shifter to put it back in drive... the shifter will show that it's in D.. but step on the gas and you go nowhere and the message center will give display a message saying... step on brake..press handle to shift in gear... only 97000 miles.... right now I'm stuck with this vehicle and having to deal with it..

Thank you!

One of the hairdressers who works in the same building had a 2015(ish) Cherokee and nothing but issues. It was a piece of junk. Actually I have to edit my comment: I just remembered one of my buddies has a Renegade, and had the entire engine replaced on it under warranty.

We in the UK never got the 3.6 . It was the 3.0 diesel or hemi

If driving on the highway in cold weather for 250 miles should the transmission start to show hot? Mine still shows cold

The best

I have a 2022 cherokee trailhawk, average build quality at best. The 3.2 pentastar is a proven engine for the most part. Great off road, locking rear diff, low range, bunch of modes. Terrible gas mileage. It's a average suv.

I used to get 10 mpg on a 1988 Wrangler and huge oil leaks.

I owned a Chrysler once. Once.

Greg, I have the 2017 Jeep Compass with 78000mi.with Little to no problem so far. What used model would you recommend I trade into. I'm 63 yrs of age. Fixed income very little travel

They are riding on their legacy as a durable and easy to repair go anywhere vehicle when the modern Jeep models are nothing like the ones of the past. Mercedes Benz did this starting with the 2000 model year S class. It worked out for them in terms of sales. They have never sold as many cars as they do now. Most get junked before reaching 15 years or 150K miles. Maybe it will work out for Jeep like that too.

So do Grand Cherokees have 9 speeds transmissions? And do you know what they hell you are talking about - also - how many 3.6L Pentastars are out there? I know this as a guy who did rocker rollers/lifters - but I'd almost consider that maintenance - I did it myself which is way cheaper than a shop - but then there is the timing chain vs belt conversation, my cams were fine so only roller rockers and lifters, $350 in parts to do it myself, and as for the oil filler issue - that is because shops over tighten the filter cap, and likely use an impact

Greg, I wished you told us how you really felt at the conclusion of your video! 😂

They updated the engine in 2016 did they fix the issue with the rockers?

Grands dont have 9 speeds

Jeep’s solution: “Let’s make a $110,000 version of it!”

If you need to buy a Jeep brand, buy the ones that were made by Daimler Chrysler. That’s when Mercedes Benz owned Chrysler/Jeep.

My girlfriend wants a wrangler as her next vehicle. I'm like nooooo, stay with Toyota

dont just dont. jeep is a problem. people want them to be rugged and 60k+ jeeps get them in the showroom and fiat trash gets them home maby for a year

NBM vehicle - Nothing But Money 💰😩"'

😂😂😂😂😂

Jesus Christ, what’s wrong with you people I’m talking about you. Just talk about the problems you ain’t gotta bring out props waste everybody’s time. Do you know anything? Or are you just watching KZfaq videos about valves and lifters? We’ve all seen these videos
