2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L - 3 month 5k Review 

After using this car for quite some time, i loved everything about here is what i think is missing. After switching from Reverse to Drive it should switch automatically to front cam. This middle mirror cam angle is a bit narrow, could have been a bit wider to cover part of blind spots. And new cars should have built-in dash cam!!!

Nice to see another SC GCL owner! I think there's an option for making the trunk beep louder in the settings-- it's pretty loud on my vehicle.

I just recently purchased one of these. I love this Jeep. The leg room, off road capabilities, and the style checked off everything on my list.

Have same vehicle but with tan interior and split back rear seat. - Paint chipping has been troublesome but not horrible. The piano black console is ridiculous how it scratches. Could have easily installed a more rugged material that matches what a Jeep tries to convey. - Hate the ESS but am unwilling to install the hardware hack to disable it and don't like pressing the button every time I start the vehicle to temporarily disable it. - Had an Autel Scanner for prev car. Can't use it on the Jeep however since Stellantis implemented the Security Module supposedly so people can't steal the Jeep. Now if I need to read a code (haven't had to do so yet), I'll either have to purchase software key for $300 or so/year OR hack the Security Module under the glove box with an adapting cord. - Red Pearl coloring is outstanding and Jeep drives great. All in all, glad I bought so far. Have about 25K miles on it now. - Bought the Jeep OEM heavy duty rubber mats for the front and WeatherTech mats for the cargo area. That was a mistake. The WT mats are plasticky to me and were really expensive. So many other laser mats avail now for much cheaper. - Thought it was cheap that I had to buy my own engine cover since the Ltd does not come with it. - I'm getting a consistent 25MPG on highway if I keep it at 70 or under so that's better than my prev ML350 Benz.

I just bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited and some people driving mad at me and they speeding up fast go front of me....SMH

I brought one of those all black off the showroom floor brand new at the end of 2021 It is a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L at this time I have a little over 11000 miles and my engine went I am not a hard driver I do not drive crazy I take good care of my vehicle and now we are in 2023 and my vehicle is still in the shop over a month now Jeep company is not people of their word I had to pay for my own rental which I gave it back because it became too expensive they said they're going to reimburse me but I never received the money I'm still under factory warranty If I'm not happy with the ending results I will be talking to a lawyer

I’m curious about longevity of the transmission. Any known issues? Looking more into 4xe.

We are picking up our new 2021 grand Cherokee L Friday. We can’t wait. Same color.

Had power steering problems with mine beside that I love the vehicle Great video

Great video and all...but...its only 5k miles. Ive seen this alot lately where people act like its shocking they havent had an issue with a vehicle at like 5k...10k...miles. You can buy the cheapest...crappiest...Mitsubishi for instance and you shouldnt expect any issues this early..lol. I would expect modern vehicles to get to 50...or 100k without any issues. That would be video worthy....but 5k?? You see this with TFL alot. They act like the fact thier vehicles havent had an issue at like 11k max is amazing...lol. Its not. Why is this a thing?? Not trying to hate on you or your video....just saying that this seems to have become a thing as of late and I just dont get it...lol Maybe Tesla has really lowered the bar...lol

I bought my 2021 jeep grand cherokee l in July and just hit 5k miles. I've read about numerous system issues with this vehicle for some people. I am only having 2 issues so far. First issue is android auto keeps disconnecting and reconnecting while in use. It's annoying especially when playing music and it'll disconnect every 15 or 20 minutes but then immediately reconnects. Second issue is with engine stop/start feature. First few months I would have to press button each and every time to deactivate the feature and now my car engine never stops at all. Not sure how it completely disactivated itself entirely. The start stop was annoying but I did like having the option to decide if I wanted it on or off. My jeep decided for me. Lol..

Do you like your Wagoneer better than the Limited you owned even though the Wagoneer is a higher trim level?

Not a bad vehicle but holy black gloss interior Batman 🤦‍♂️

Dont feel bad about the infotainment system, I honestly am starting to think it’s the phones because I’ve had a Hyundai and now a Volkswagen and they both glitch when using carplay

Just an FYI Jason. Jeep must have heard you as the warning beep for the closing of the rear hatch was quite noticable on the Limited WL we test drove last week.

I wonder if they'll add the Ecodiesel engine to the L.

It's always good to have a first-hand appraisal of the car from real owners. Thanks for taking the time. One remark though. I couldn't help noticing the closing sound of the rear door. It sounded light and cheap. Is this the actual case?

my ram 2019 drives that way as well with 80,000 miles on it. pretty much everything still answers makes is they stand out vehicle

The button is on the same spot for my 2016 GC. People never find it. They often force it closed. The beep is loud enough thankfully.

Thank you, very helpful

I’ve owned 3 wk2 jeeps I won’t be buying one this time solely for the high black gloss materials in the center console that stuff drives me crazy so hard to keep clean and it scratches so easily until they update that in the next years I’m out!!!

I recently purchased this. Same color and the exact same car. I got this more as a comfort car for me and my toddler son and for when we go on road trips. I previously had the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2016 Laredo. So this one is an upgrade. I am short mama. 5’2. So far I like it. My spouse didn’t like the back captain seats said that they are smaller and are more like for children. Any body have these problems ??? But I really do love the red velvet of the car.

just purchased one as well I feel a slight vibration under the drivers seat during cold start up for about 40 seconds have you felt anything similar thank you for any feed back

Did you clean the center console just before recording? They normally look disgusting. That's the thing putting me off buying one.

How has the reliability been for you now ?

Also K&N filter dyno out at 8.8hp 6.8tq, mpg only about 2 more fwy, 0 in the city.

Would love the update! But while we wait can you just give a quick thumbs up or thumbs down to someone wanting to buy one based on your extended experience?

How are the speakers I find the speakers in my jeep compass 2019 to be very low at high volume but I’m looking to upgrade to a 3 row since I need more room

Hi

Love mine, working with pro charger to get a kit just for this, would be nice of a tune existed, really all the extra power I’d want. Will post video when mod ready and installed, thanks for the video!!

Thanks for sharing, keep posting more updates. Planning to buy one.

I got the white one limited luxury package just no roof I didn’t care for it.

I also keep a spray bottle and microfiber cloth for that damn screen 🤣 gets so dusty

First time in the video ❤❤

I am torn about buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I like the look and drive. But, I have heard endless stories of people who have had issues with them. Mostly electrical. Maybe it is hit or miss with them? You either get a good one or a lemon. I would love to hear any comments from people who have had issues with them. ***UPDATE*** We ended up buying a Lincoln Aviator instead. We love it. But, it only has 1,000 miles on it. So, only time will tell.

Great video. How is the storage behind the third row. I have two young kids and we love to do roadtrips

I've seen a couple reviews where squeaks and rattles have been mentioned...any issues with your GC in those regards?

You should be able to turn off the automatic parking brake in the menu of the unconnect

Thanks for this video, I enjoyed uour review.

Thanks for sharing very informative 👏🏼

Need to know how to adjust the dimmer on the back view mirror my car is limited 2023

Pentastar is an awesome engine...Wards top ten

The button for rear lift gate is a learning curve but you get used to it. What I do like and owners with low garage doors will too. The lift gate can be set to lift at less than full open. I set mine to about two thirds of the way by power and manually raise the rest….prevents from garage door panel hinges scratching the lift gate paint. I do wish it had separate glass but oh well. The buttons in the center stack above the infotainment screen are a really big ….Zonk”…..switches work but very very poor background lighting so at night it becomes a matter of….how many switches are there and how to count the buttons for each function….hopefully your right.

You can turn the auto parking brake in the settings

The front end looks cool

Best feature is the famcam

Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about purchasing a limited and was skeptical about the V6. I'll be checking out the first video

Thanks for the review. Going to hopefully buy a grand Cherokee L limited this week

Thanks for sharing. Considering it. Beautiful SUV.

Great job with the review !

How’s the sound system

You can turn off specific safety features including the automatic reverse breaking in the uconnect system

Is the battery still under the passenger seat,

Great video 😊

I’m facing a issue with my Jeep grand Cherokee L overland 2021 , my front camera washers not working , the washer motor works , so have any suggestions how can I fix it ?

Hampton Sc here

I love my GC L

Awesome video.

Too bad there isn't 4 low on the limited and im not paying 60 grand plus for 4 low so I will move to 4runner after all my years of jeep ownership

Service 4x4 light keeps coming on. Been to the dealer 4 times. Only have 4100 miles

Nice!

Great video, congrats buddy 👍

Problem is Apple Play or android auto update not media center in car. U have to watch saved memory overloading your phone and clear cache every month

Nice video! Just bought last week. How about long term mpg? Looking forward to see the first oil change update!

Does anyone has subwoofer problem like when you are driving with no music, it’s sound like an echo when I accelerate it sounds in the subwoofer and when I turn it on and I have a v6 not a loud muffler?

Hello I just purchased one, and I have a question about a knocking sound coming from the engine on start up. Do you or any viewers on here experience this sound? Thank you for the video and your time

Love that color. If I could get that with the brown interior It would be perfect

What gas do you use? I have JGC L 21, v6. Not sure if I should use premium 91/93 or just stick to 87.

Jason, on the limited trim are the LED strips above the headlamps daytime running or just act as a blinker? The overland has them as daytime running lights but it doesn’t look like the limited does. Thanks!

Why didn't you buy Mercedes-Benz or audi

How would you say this compares to a Ford Explorer? I currently drive one but am annoyed of a few issues (not as luxurious feel, wind noise is so bad, infotainment system glitchy and blacks out.) just debating if I should hold out another year or so

Good video review! Keep it up

My 2021 jeep grand cherokee l with 5600 miles is now in the shop. My check engine light came on this morning and Jeep dealer ran quick diagnostic and it came back active grille shutters error. I told them that my start stop feature stopped a few weeks ago and to fix that as well as the numerous recalls. Sigh.... I really love the looks and ride of this jeep

Nice we have a 23 limited 4x4 2 row and love ours

Note to any new buyers the area around the shifter plastic whatever it is scratches easier than a babies ass. Secondly the V-6 feels like it is geared to save you a Fuel it feels like something is constantly holding me On Hills especially instead of coasting free. Some of the computer AI parking And Lane assistance ,auto shut off auto E brake can be really buggy and annoying. Any of you guys experiencing any of these problems?

Great review

No paint chips? Wow👍

Great content keep it up

Test drove one a few weeks ago and it doesn't drive as smooth as our Telluride. Also seemed to be a little slow on acceleration in comparison. Otherwise it seems like a decent suv.

Do the jeep when coming to a stop sometime feels like it kills then start back up at a red light

Does the black leather get hot from sun coming in through the sunroof?

Does this one have the Ambient lighting on the inside

Where is the battery

How are the breaks, picked up one last week, however breaks fill stiff, need really step on them to fully stop the car. Is this common with new cars?

How does it feel for an adult sitting in the second row?

Do you still have the Rav 4?

Nice GCL...!!!

I didn't quite get, how does the automatic parking break work in this car and what makes it annoying?

Did you ever have any problems with smelling burning rubber? I’ve had mine for 2 months less than 3k miles and a week ago it filled my cab up with smoke and smoke was coming out of the hood. Took it to the local dealership and they couldn’t find anything. Got it back and it still doing the same thing. Smoke hasn’t filled the cab up again but every time I drive it, you can smell a strong burning rubber odor through the a/c vents. Did you have anything like this happen to you?

Do you have any info on the towing

Beautiful car is it fast though

I just got a new Durango and man, this looks a lot nicer and bigger!

Hey I just bought a 22 grand cherokee l summit reserve with the v6 and I've been getting 16-17 mpg and now that I saw your video I'm hoping mine will break in and start getting over 20! Has it improved?

Nice review! How much did pay for it? And what class do you have, the limited?

Watched ur video, 👍 1 thing I will say as an owner of this Cherokee L limited 3.6l, is I'm returning mine, I've had mine for 6 months now and put 11,000 miles on it and I'm sick of all the problems I've been having, from the power steering going out, headlights flickering, front collision detection system failing in the rain and in the car wash, the side mirrors make an awfully loud howling noise at any speed 40+ mph, I've had the heater control replaced 2x, now a rotten egg smell from the exhaust, and worst of all the radio has been replaced 5x now and it still freeze's up on a regular basis, not allowing me to control anything from the 8.5" screen and Chrysler has no guaranteed fix for any of these issues, in the 6 months and 11,000 miles I've had mine it has spent 49 days total at the dealership. My advise, buy at your own risk.

I’ve been looking to buy one recently and this video really helped me. Also, that’s a beautiful color.

Does your vehicle have the optional air suspension?

Dude get a dash cam I recommend it. I have the same vehicle same color with cream interiors and my OCD came in lol where is the dash cam? Nice vehicle and i agree with your review, its a good dam vehicle for a jeep “Fiat” i have a VW Atlas V6 and love the car but on long trip the Atlas gave me back numbing pain.. the jeep is super comfortable on long trip and i love surprisingly the sound of the engine, i was trying to get the Nissan Armada with the V8 but due to waiting time i got the Grand Cherokee L. Only thing I don’t like is the central console gear selector piano black, i’ll glue a peace of black leather with stitching over it to match the side dashboard. Great video.

How did you experience the leg space for the driver? I'm also a big guy, and when I sat in the car once, in the store, my right knee kept bamping the console which made the driver leg space feel a bit small, something I don't currently have with my 2019 GC. I'll be happy to hear your experience.

We have a L limited with3,000 miles biggest complaint is the middle row passenger side captain seat rattles several have complained of this. We had a 2019 Grand Cherokee v6 and it was a good 2 seconds quicker to 60.
