Jeep Grand Cherokee 60K Mile Review Long Term Ownership Review 

My 2013 Jeep GC limited v-6, all wheel drive, has 165,000 miles and is still going strong. Oil cooler and radiator replaced at 150,000 miles. shocks and struts replaced at 155,000 miles. Other than routine maintenance, that is all my GC has needed since purchasing it new in August 2012.

Every time I look at a car I like, the reviews are horrible and crush my dreams lol

Thanks for the review. We are looking for a new family SUV and will definitely check this one out

Love you vids bro,keep going!don't give up✌️

Mine has 116k on it. Bought it from Carmax with 32k miles. It’s been great, and it still looks brand new. We had the oil leak problem he mentions (oil cooler)... originally they said this was due to over tightening the oil filter, but by the time we had it done they were covering this as a defect, even out of warranty, so it cost us nothing. And they redesigned the part, so once it’s fixed it shouldn’t be an issue again. It’s been a great vehicle for us.

Really good reviews as you pointed out the common problem and Jeep needs to address these issue if they need new customer coz am skeptical about its issues other than that I like its exterior specially the new limited X

Love this video, really informative..I'm planning to buy one..

Thanks for this! Subbed

Nice vid. I’ve had the same SUV (but 2015) for about a year. I live in NH, so like you I have to warm it up a lot in the winter. But, in the summer I’m getting 21-22 mpg (mix city and highway). The one thing I HATE is the gear shifter.

We have a 2015 JGC with the Pentastar 3.6L V6. Common problems: (1) leaky plastic oil coolers, (2) leaky hydraulic motor mounts, (3) thermostat failure, (4) faulty rocker arms that wear out. We have experienced all these failures except for the rocker arms. If you haven't already done so, I'd replace all of them with upgraded aftermarket parts (if possible) after your JGC reaches high mileage -- 100k or more. After 140k miles, we also had a fuel injector failure despite getting the dealership's pricey fuel injector cleaning service the year before. Looking back, after 100k miles, I'd just replace the injectors. I've heard from others that they are bound to fail. Better to treat them as a maintenance item than wait for them to fail when you're far from home (which is what happened to us).

2014 grand Cherokee limited rwd version. 137k miles, Replaced oil cooler with Dorman unit, highly recommend aluminum Dorman unit. Dorman aluminum coolant crossover pipe to replace yet another plastic pièces. Trans fluid and filter done at 75k and 135k Diff fluid done at 115k Spark plugs done at 80k and 135k. Coil packs at 135k. Can bus unit replaced at100k cost 700. Condenser unit replaced cost450. Full synthetic mobile one with liqui moly ceratech. Only pump 93 octane. I drive it like I’m in a nascar race and the 3.6 loves to rev high. Makes most of the power at the top end 4K to 6.5k rpm. Looking to get the ripp supercharger to double the power. The v6 pentastar is well made with FORGED connecting rods. You read correctly. Forged. Crankshaft has never broken on engines boosted 300+ hp over stock. Incredible engine. Only problem I’ve heard which is not common are overheating of valve seats causing valve failure so since I drive it hard I use highest octane gas . Most normal driving will be fine with lowest octane. At transmission out of Germany is very reliable. Just don’t buy the lie of the lifetime fluid. Lab results show transmission fluid friction coefficient drops significantly after 45k miles of use. Diff fluid last a really long time maybe 100k+ miles but I like to baby my jeep. Pirelli tires all round, very sticky and amazing in rain. Extremely quiet as well. Replaced rotors and pads at110k. Pcv valve replaced at 135k. Valve cover gaskets replaced(no leak just preventative). Love this car so much that I rather supercharge the engine rather than buy a new one with a v8 because 1. V6 supercharged is faster with 38mpg. And 2. They wk2 GC 2014-2018 are the most well are and nicest quality and design ever made by jeep Chrysler stelantis. The new one feels more plasticy. New gc is nice but nothing can replace my 2014 gc . My most loved car. Only a Porsche Cayman gts interests me but the price tag is outrageous for seemingly the same quality of my GC therefore it is the perfect car.

Thanks, I watched both your videos on the Grand Cherokee. I enjoyed your personal experience with the Jeep. I'm thinking about buying one. I don't really need something that big, but the cost difference for a Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee make the Grand Cherokee more attractive (for us). I'm looking at getting a 2020 Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited. They are going for around $37,000 after discounts. Currently we use a CRV.

Great review, I bought a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 altitude package for my wife, it's going to be almost 2 years since we bought it. So far it has 15k miles, and thank God, we haven't had any issues with it like most people say. Just hope that it can last us 100k without any major problems!!!

Good review… thanks

2016 limited v6... so far i love it had it for close to 3 yrs 2nd owner

Love. This vids

Great choice

Have a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee, base model. I have 180,000 mi on it. I bought the lifetime warranty. Beside the recalls, I have had very little trouble with this vehicle. Radiator replaced under warranty and a thermostat replacement. I just now need to replace the brakes. The 3.6l has been great, no leaks or noise from the engine. This is a jeep and the ride is not smooth and can get tiring on a long trip. Overall, with proper maintenance this can be a good vehicle.

Thanks for the review and greetings from Ukraine!

I have a 2015 JEEP GC Limited, but I have the 5.7 Liter V8 HEMI Engine and have had mine since it was brand new for 5 years. I have never had any problems with my vehicle and I have 61, 000 miles on it. It drives great and is very fast. Gas mileage isn’t the best. I get about 17 in the city and 23-24 on the Hwy. It has really been a great vehicle with no oil leaks or anything thus far. I had to replace the tires at 40,000 miles, and took it in once or twice for a couple of recall items, otherwise all is well.

Just bought a 2014 with a Hemi 101135 runs excellent!

I have a 2014 upgraded with xenon and led the lights are fantastic. 75k now. Recommend if you keep your jeep for long term invest in an extended warranty plan. Love this vehicle and ride is fantastic but I know with American made in Mexico there is likely going to be maintenance. But I think luxury of this is as good or better than most European models for much less cost so don't mind paying for extended warranty. Also great towing weight to pull boats and campers.

We owned a grand Cherokee long Time ago for 7 years with 70000 miles no issues still running great estonding vehicles are jeeps

Great review. Was on the fence about getting one. I think I’ll jump off and get it in the near future.

Looks good in blue

The Grand Cherokees that come with the 3.6 V6 is the only engine that has an oil filter housing, if you get one with the 5.7 hemi or above you have a normal filter. Have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with close to 75k on it, it’s been great and have only done maintenance

I want one of these but I’m terrified of the bad reviews. It’s my favorite looking suv.

The sunroof is a option on the limited model. My 2015 limited did not have the sunroof I choose instead to get the 20 inch rim upgrade instead of sunroof. That V6 is a great engine maybe I just been lucky but I haven’t had any engine issues with the 4 I’ve owned. I did have minor fixes covered by warranty but nothing major that wouldn’t happen in any other brand. The 4x4 is excellent I used to live in NJ and never got stuck once. We now live in Florida so our 2019s are both 2WD. I can tell you they do hold their value and sell quick especially the used ones for people looking who maybe can’t afford a new one. I traded my wife’s 2015 altitude model in which had 85k miles at the time and still got $18k for it. A year later I traded in my 2015 limited and still got the same $18k for it. Both vehicles were sold within a week of trade in. As far as the oil filter leaking...I never had any issues...both my 2015 never leaked and all oil changes were done at dealer...my dad has a 2015 and does all oil changes himself and never leaked. One thing I can say is it’s not a traditional filter it’s the long cone shape one and you have to be sure it comes with the new ring seal and make sure to change that every time if not it could possibly leak.

Crazy that a cheap part that eventually fails because of required use should be covered by the owner. Brakes and such yeah, but the item needed for the oil filter shouldn’t be failing after several years.

Glenn thanks for this video. Where in NJ did you have the oil leak repair done may I ask?

In Russia we have such a jeep grand cherokee wk2 3.6 engine mileage 565 thousand km without problems

Great review!

Skip to ….3.00......….where he actually starts the 60K review.

Looks good. Did you use it to tow trailer?

Hi have you ever had the transmission fluid changed ?

Looks nice

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is going to be a complete redesign. You should wait and see what it has to offer before you decide on a new car!

Can you please do an update of your Grand Cherokee V6 soon???

Would you recommend buying a 14 Laredo with 100,000 miles on it? The price is pretty good

Hi! Have you had any issues with the transmission?? or do you know anyone that had issues with it? especially with the 2014 and 2015 models I´ve read a lot of bad reviews on the transmission. I want to buy one used with 40K miles on it, but all those reviews are making me consider it twice. I am looking forward for your answer. GREAT CONTENT BTW

I’m considering the new look 2022 grand Cherokee, I hope it’s price is reasonable

2016 grand cherokee Laredo v6, 83 K problem free. Still running original brakes with minimal highway milelage. Anybody done trans service, dealer says lifetime.

How much is that oil cap you were referring to did you say several hundred dollars or $700

I’m looking at a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland summit with 101,500 for $14,999. Black with that nice brown leather. What do u think about that? I want it

I think the 5.7 V8 is more reliable the the Pentastar V6 ! With that said, a friend has a 2017 Summit with 90K / Kms on it with no issues other then some parking sensors / paint issues !

Is it still reliable, do u recommend it, I'm planning to get one

If you don’t mind me asking, how much do you spend filling the gas tank ? And what kinda of gas do you usually put, regular or premium?

I don’t know how much you love sunroofs

My 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is about to hit 60,000 miles…is it necessary to get the 60,000 mile service?

does any one know if they addressed that issue with the plastic part that leaked oil over time? i am looking at a 2016 but that issue sounds like a problem i don't want to deal with lol.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy it’s been good

Me & my wife have owned nine 4 runners & nine grand cherokees. We enjoy both brands. I perform all service & repairs on them. As far as reliability issues, one is no better than the other if there take care of properly. I will say that the quality of Toyota is become pretty poor as far as exterior body & interior all around. What miner parts I’ve had to purchase over the years for the 4 runners are stupid in price. If we take a trip into town, we take the 4 runner. If we take a long road trip its the GC no question. Ride quality, pennistar power plant, all around interior comfort & convenience features. The 4 runner doesn’t compare & with a $10,000 plus price tag over the GC. And for the oil fill housing breaking & leaking on the GC? It clearly says 27NM on the cap which is 18FT Lbs. I’ve changed oil in our GCs since 2013 with this oil filter housing & have never had a problem. One of the simplest oil changes you can ask to perform, if you should be doing it in the first place...

Never seen a V6 with dual exhaust on a JGC before.

OK, and how many recalls did you have?

I want a JGC but I’m confused with which one I want. I think the limited is slightly larger than the base model

It's a 7500 dollar repair or 700 for the oil filter housing?

How's the car running now?

Brake job in the 30,000s? Oil leak? And this guy LIKES his Jeep. My Toyota Corolla didnt need new brakes until 120,000. Has 156,000 now, never leaks a drop of oil. How Chrysler stays in business, I have no idea!

You look and sound just like Jason Bateman...

My tired eyes can see what year it is. I have. 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite started with 8 miles just now roll 50k 3 years 2 months I have all kinds of modifications mostly LED lighting added quite a few extra horns and have I got some issues with some of that are you kidding me still doing it design flaws

You paid 20k for the Jeep Grand Cherokee limited when it was released in 2014 & now its 2022 & Telegraph price for them is still 20k how ???? After 5 yrs the car value goes down it should be around 10k

I have 2020 Summit, I enjoy driving it although it is a v6 pentastar. only issue is once you push hard on acceleration for more than 30 seconds, bad burning smell will prevents you from breathing. But, honestly for normal driving you don't need more than 50% acceleration

Everything breaks at 100,000 miles.

$486 for a lease?

What’s that rattle 🤔 do Jerseys roads suck that bad

$700 oil filter repair for a mistake the dealership made. 🤔🤦‍♂️🙄 that is unacceptable.

Many problems with these cars and getting worse.... try a Toyota and you will never go back. I will never own anything else and feel smarter for making the switch.. those repairs are so silly to have to do that new...

If you call 60k miles long term odds are its shit lol.

I have had a thing for GCs but the horrible reliability makes me run for the hills. Why the Effin eff would you put a plastic housing o it would crack and leak? It is the same deal with BMWs and their plastic engine parts. I think that people are also to blame who don’t boycott such crap from Germans, Land Rover and FIAT.

only 60k? my 14 has 194k miles. Would never buy another one. spends more time in the shop than on the road

60k miles is not a lot to be considered reliable or not.

I have a 16k Tucson with 60k that needs nothing. I own old jeeps. This sounds like a pretty piece of shit lol

60K Miles in 5 years?! LOL, I won't waste my time watching this LOL, you may as well be reviewing a brand new car... Sorry for being a jerk, I really did chuckle. Round here we get 15K plus a year, I put 26K on my Jeep in 10 and 1/2 months in 2019. At 60K a car should not need anything major. Hell maybe I should watch, my Jeep is in need of 4K in lifter repairs. I think I hate FCA motors.

No way it's limited no panoramic sunroof no 20 inches wheels no led lights

Two major repairs in 60k is PATHETIC!

You never get what you pay for with tires. Such a lie LOL

i THINK ITS the JEEP 2014-2017 THAT HAS THE WORST TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS! i'M just reminding myself to not buy any of those years. 😉

Oil’s leeks before 60K, I’ll buy a Toyota and not deal with oil’s leeks.

Focus on the jeep not your face

5 years & 60,000 miles is considered long term? You've obviously never lived in the Toyota Universe. Toys are just getting broken in at 60k. The REAL question should be.... Would You buy this Car at 60,000 miles? Another useless review.

Why the LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 intro music on a Jeep review?

Make a sharp turn and the suspension will fall on its face. Horrible car poor quality. Also very dangerous.

Man u talk too much, can u get dirty to the point please
