I had my Jeep in the shop for about 2 weeks because someone ran into me. Now all of a sudden my suspension system isn't working. My Jeep is so low to the ground that it's scraping everything and bouncing around like crazy. Progressive won't even fix the issue reverb right the original accident wasn't my fault and I never had this issue before taking it in for a fender bender... I'm soooooooooo angry I have no idea what to do other than her a lawyer
I have a 2011 3.6 lerado. When I go 60mph, It make this grinding whistling sound like air leaking from under the hood. Is there an evap line under there that needs checking?
You literally made my day! I have been struggling with that exact same oil leak for like 6 months now and could not track it down. Never thought to check to oil filter interface and that was exactly it! Thank you! I'm on my 3rd thermostat lol.. But easy and cheap fortunately.
my wife has a 2015 JGC Limited 3.6 with 110K miles, we bought it brand new. We have had some issues but nothing worth mentioning. Based on mileage and dealer's recommendation, I've been doing some preventive maintenance; idler pulley, tensioner pulley, harmonic balancer, belt, thermostat, water pump, starter, motor mounts. Soon I will be doing the rocker arms. All in all its a great SUV, the engine still running very strong without showing any signs of slowing down. I'm hoping to keep it for another 10yrs.
I'm on my second, really love to drive these Jeeps. My 2011 V6 Laredo other than factory recalls done, changed the blend door on passenger side, tight access but certainly easy. Although was experiencing a weird rear brake problem, on occasion the rear brake would grab and heat up. Was going to change the body to caliper hose, but traded in before. I found that if you change the oil filter (easiest of any car !) was to change the seal which usually comes with the filter to prevent leakage. My 2016 392 SRT has been good also, changed the water pump and themostat , had a shock go under warranty, but other wise has been pretty good. The Carbon fiber trim pieces typically start to warp, but I believe they have an extended warranty due to being a common problem. Otherwise I really enjoy driving these vehicles!!
I’ve had my 2015 GC Lerado Blackhawk for 3 years now. It has 190,000 Kms on it. I’ve changed the oil filter housing (did it myself), changed the thermostat (myself), I think #4 coil and just recently changed all 24 rockers. Even with all that, I love this SUV it’s such a nice looking SUV, especially, black on black 😊
I bought a 12' Laredo new. Still have it, 140,000 miles. The thermostat got me as well as the air switch you spoke of. That one was $900. My starter recently went, another $900. Otherwise in 10 years it's been great. Drives like new, I've done tires a few times, got rear brakes. I plan to drive it another 100k. It's quiet and smooth, and it can handle 20 inches of snow even though it's got the base 4wd system. Best vehicle I've owned.
@@jonthompson8807 ha good question. Lived in in Illinois and did for 8.5 years. The past 1.5 I've lived in a townhome near the beach in FL with no garage so it will be interesting to see how it does. I wax it 2 times a year and no more show so that's good, but the ocean and heat will be a test. Looks good still
14 Summit. 92,××× miles. I have 2 of the issues you mentioned. (Corrosion on edge of hood,pealing chrome on cup holders) but also had replace adio head unit. It was locking up for the first mile or 2 after start-up. Retaining tabs on front brake pads rusted off, causing rattle over bumps.
Love the way these drive considering their capabilities. Glad these still have the tried and true V6 and 8 speed. This video is super helpful. Good to keep an eye on common issues. Only issue I had on my ‘19 so far is a failed/faulty fuel pump module that left me stranded on the freeway. Replaced under warranty at least.
We have 2012 V6 3.6L with 72K miles on it. The only thing that went bad was the thermostat. It is GREAT VEHICLE! No other problems. The best 4x4 SUV you can buy. Made in USA!
I have laredo 2015... transmission replaced at 220 KM, I'm experiencing the rough shifting from 1st to 2nd gear you mentioned even with the new transmission, its really annoying issue... other than that, the car is awesome. I love it.
I have a 2014 limited and the things I experienced before it reached 90k I had to replace, transfer case sensor, ABS sensor, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, radio replaced twice, transmission went out, radiator leaked because its made of plastic, I go thru brake pads and rotors every three years and I use ceramic pads. I have 95k on it and we replaced spark plugs and coil packs. Despite having these gremlins and wear and tear items, I'm still keeping it.
2012 GC OL. I had pretty much all the problem you discussed. I am not a handy man however I fixed both blenddoor actuators. Driver side was little difficult. Cost me under 100 dollar to fix. Dealer asked me 1800 dollar to fix. Lol. RU-vid has step by step instruction. Thanks for sharing. Love the comfort. I find this Jeep way more fun drive then my 2018 4Runner. I said comfort not reliability. Lol
if you remember which video that helped you replaced the driver blend door actuator.. i would LOVE the help! mine has been broken for like 2 years but i know how much the dealer wants to fix it and i cant pay that. thankfully i live in sunny cali and heat isnt a huge need in my part of the state
I have a 2016 GC Overland that we purchased new in July 2016. As of today 12 30 2022 almost 80K miles and not one of those problems you mentioned. A couple of the problems you mentioned were owner abuse, nothing mechanical. For example tightening the filter cap to tight and scratching the console. Still have the original batteries in the remotes.
2011 - 208K miles....waterpump was replaced at 150k. I replaced the broken accuators (both) ~185K. youtube can help you with any fix needed. Still runs great!
I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6L. I recently noticed a little rumble feel at idle (60,000 miles). I changed the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, new intake filter, checked all vacuum lines and replaced the vapor return solenoid. I didn't see any liquid coming from the motor mounts.
Have a grand Cherokee with the hemi- kept getting service 4wd system and was told it was very common that likely it needed a new transfer case. Was quoted 4grand for a used one and no guarantee that it wouldn’t have same issue. I took it to a transmission specialist who determined all that was needed was a transmission computer re-program. $1000 and zero issues since.
Excellent video and super accurate. I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee. 174k. I have experienced %90 of what you mentioned…..now off to check the engine mounts 😢
2011 5.7 hemi with 225k miles..... blend door problem is a real pain. Replaced water pump, brake diaphram, a head light and have that hood bubbled paint. Sometimes have to use the key fob in the dashboard to start the engine. It acts like an alarm issue or a fob battery is bad. The tranny gets over 200 deg. F when towing my boat over 100 miles. I'm afraid to trade it in for a newer one as it runs well.
2014 Laredo 4x4 with 94k miles. Replaced transmission under warranty after 60k miles. Recently had to replace starter and flywheel. Blend door issue, and about every 2 years the a/c fuse melts. But overall, has been an awesome vehicle and still runs smooth
2016 Grand Cherokee Sunmit 3.6L 94k on it, never had an issue 🤞🤞 Rides great, i have it set to lower when i put it in park and raise when in drive. Its the same with a sunroof, if you dont uae it the gaskets get brittle.
Had a 2015 with 178,000 miles, only issue I had was bad rocker arms, with the 3.6l traded it in for a 2020 grand Cherokee with a Hemi, so far no issues
Stuff ive fixed on 2011 grand cherokee overland 3.6l. All in the last 75k miles: oil cooler, oil filter spring, ac cooler, water pump, thermostats, gas cap, radiator cap, radiator drain, mass air temp, brakes, rotors, tires, new o2 sensors on passenger side, spark plugs, 4 or 5 blinker bulbs, ambient air temp sensor. Some shop mixed orange in 2011's special yellow global coolant, that needed tons of flushing and new water pump to get back to yellow. After 150k, now have O2 and P0420 issues. Must be PCV valve (horrible location) or clogged CC. The leather dashboard came apart, but it was replaced under a recall. Also brake booster replaced under recall. Dealer talked me into paying for a climate control blower motor something. New car battery, upgraded to state patrol sized one! So easy to work on with air shocks of Overland. Set it to max height, and you have all the room in the world under jeep!
I just bought a 2021 Grand Cherokee Laredo with less than 20k on it. When I go on rough gravel roads you can hear f - r suspension clunking, yet when I put it on jacks I can't find anything loose.
my top 5 Issues I've had with my 2014 GC 1. Warn rocker arms, causing that ticking sound. 2. Thermostat 3. Driver Side Blend Door Actuator. 4. Transmission cooling lines broke off 5. Service shifter message.
The Blend door actuator is a PAIN to get out! Specifically the passenger side one, I did it myself and that one screw on the back of the actuator, make sure you have that small socket wrench!!
I have a 2019 High Altitude CG. Bought used this past August. Already had hood corrosion fixed, radio face replaced due to delaminating, sunroof replaced because it was leaking and now my parking sensors are bad and tonight my hatch module went out and it doesn’t beep when it closes. I drove it for 8 weeks total and it’s been in the shop for 3 months of the total ownership time thus far. I had an 2004 GC and loved it. This one… on the fence. Seems like a lemon. Or just my luck with cars.
2016 Laredo E 4x2 purchased used in 2019 with 30k miles. 71k miles today 2/9/23 and other than synthetic oil changes every 8-10k miles (never even had to top off between changes) and engine/cabin filters, I haven't had to fix anything. I do need to change the key fob battery probably every 12-18 months and I also experience the rough 1-2 shift if I don't let it warm up and it's cold out. I've experienced this in other vehicles too so I'm not worried about that. Super reliable so far!
@@johndigenakis9725A sales gimmick would be to try to get you to come into the dealership every 5k miles for a $100 oil change. I check it every few thousand miles all the way close to 10k. The oil barely changes color and burns almost nothing. 87k miles today 7/4/24. The only thing I've had to do since my last post is new tires. To each their own.
The fuel pump relay was a recall. It is part of the tipm. The recall put in a relay external to the tipm. I had the replaced relay also quit. Only a $4 DIY fix though. I'm having a problem now where the engine will start and stall a few seconds later. You have to push the button to turn the ignition off to attempt a restart. If you just keep your foot on the brake and try to restart it the engine will crank but not start. I've been told the fix is to either remove the start button and use the key inside the fob or replace the ECM. Mine has been doing this occasionally for a few months but it always ends up starting and staying running. It happens hot or cold, in all kinds of weather. The security system that the fob connects to loses contact as it transitions from starting to staying running. I found holding the fob near the start button helps.
I have a 2015 V6 now with 93,000 plus miles. Thermostat housing cracked which is common. A 28 dollar replacement and RU-vid helped me replace it and save a ton of money. ** Make sure you replace it with the updated part to avoid the same issue. It's visibly beefier at the 90 degree bend. Also common, and now covered are the active headrests breaking and deploying. Most are lucky and aren't driving when it happens, unlike me. Suddenly having your head hit from behind while driving will scare the crap out of you. Pentastar Plastic strikes again here. The plastic that holds the locking pin is thin (cheap and brittle). It will break and headrest will deploy, even though the locking pin is still in locked position. Still, those really aren't so bad overall and I still love my Jeep. Given the price of the new ones, I'm happy to keep mine which is paid off.
I have a 17 Limited with 89k miles and water pump has been replaced twice before replacing the engine mount at 80k miles and the radio volume knob pretty much melted/sticky. Other than those few issues I love my Jeep but will probably trade in closer to 100k....Great video!
2013 jeep cherokee laredo 3.6L 2wd. Replaced oil filter cap, rack and pinion, alternator, coolant temp sensor, oil cooler gasket. Still have to do starter since its going out slowly, and also wheel bearings.
I have a 2012 WK2 overland with the hemi i bought used, recently hit 100k. The water pump and both motor mounts have been replaced. There's a hard thump when going into park, aside from that she runs great. I added an external oil cooler as we tow our 5k+ travel trailer frequently into the high country and take her off roading often. With the air suspension and limited slip diff, I'm able to do some more of the difficult trails I used to do in my gladiator. Comfortable all around capable vehicle, happy with it so far. Great video.
2012 5.7 oil pan gasket leaks. Dealer says 1600 bucks to fix it, it’s a 4x4 and they gotta drop the front axle. Now my’04 WJ 4.7 needs a transmission too.
I have a 2012 grand Cherokee. Changed oil 12 times so far with no problem. Any time you are using a large wrench on plastic, tighten snug not tight. I bought my truck with 30,000. Now it has 96,000. So far only problem I have had was my Master Cylinder crapped out. (Wich I rare ) I have done brakes and rotors and changed the spark plugs at 75,000. So far all good.
Just wana mention something very small but using the right motor oul for tempratures can also help. Alot of people use wrong oil for your climate somethinng small but will increase your protection of parts in long run.
I have a 2016 grand Jeep Cherokee and when I am driving, it starts to shake. The engine light comes on. The auto start. Light comes on and I have had my spark plugs changed. I have had a new injector put in. I’m on the road now I’ve had this problemfor a while now I have 189,000 miles. Thank you for your time.
I swapped my air ride on my 2011 Overland for strut and shocks. Between compressor and air bags I was looking at almost 10K. I put in an after market system from Strutmasters for right at 1k. It does ride stiffer but it's an excellent suspension system. 3:46
2011 3.6 180k no problem ever.. except for the recalls that jeep took care of fuel pump relay brake booster all the recalls have been done and I’ve had absolutely no problems 180 thousand miles and I still get 22 mpg on 32 inch tires. Yes it is lifted 2 1/2 inches.
2015 Grand Cherokee, Motor Mounts went out old rubber was cracking and started leaking grease/oil at 138,000 miles (8 years). Had massive Transmission issues at 4,000 miles and basically strong armed them to drop in a new transmission and visually watched. After that, its been normal wear and tear.
I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with 136,000 miles on it, I have had none of these problems except the oil filler problem because a service guy over tightened it. Only brought it back to the dealer once to have a software update, the Jeep has been super reliable.
I have a 2014 WK2 Overland V8, it has had a water pump go at 80,000kms and the fuel door release needed fixing. Other than that it has had no other issues and currently has 145,00kms.
I just purchased a 2019 Altitude. I was concerned about the transmission because of the occasional weird shifting between 1 and 2. It doesn't feel like it's F'd, but I didn't think it was normal. Now I know.
We are the lucky ones we just purchased a 2017 jeep grand Cherokee limited with the luxury 2 package used with 60,000 miles one week of driving it odometer flashes lights flicker and the passenger window rolls down on its own now it’s sitting at the dealership waiting for it to get fixed Merry freaking Christmas
@PaapiA update it was a loose ground under the battery and the batteries are under the passenger seat it took the dealership 3 weeks to figure it out but ever since it's been a wonderful vehicle and my wife loves it
On my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6, the back hatch window will no longer open. The hatch opens but not the window. Any suggestions on how to get it open or fix it? Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
I do a have a 2011 Grand Cherokee with the V6 and just shy of 210,000 miles. I did have to repair the air vent selector, big job and not cheap, but I have not experienced any of the other problems you mentioned except for the thermostat, twice. One issue that bothered me was the failure of the calipers, twice, and that happened suddenly on long trips, and I did not have a great time getting home. Overall, it's a great car, the interior and exterior are basically brand new, no rattles when driving and no issues with the hood. Very comfortable, fairly quiet and a great V6. I have the old 5 speed tranny, still working well, some "hiccups" when cold but no slipping and changing gears without problems. Will I get to 300,000? Time will tell!
My wife loves her '15 Altitude but it only has under 40k miles and her sound has not been working for couple months now. I seen this is another common problem that some people have had success fixing by pulling the fuse for the amp and re-installing to reset the amp. However, it didn't work for hers so I guess the whole amp needs to be replaced but she not worried about music so she hasn't bothered me about fixing it and I don't have to drive it everyday so it is still like that.
Any idea why the TPMS system would be triggered despite all tires being inflated to factory recommend 36psi on a 2011 JGC? The light stays on and will sometimes blink and show that 1 of the 4 tires randomly is at 0psi even though that's not correct. It started acting up when I had a tire patched. Mechanic replaced a couple sensors, but it's still wonky.
I own a jeep 2021 Laredo, i parked in my house with foot brake on but forgot to put the gear selector to P, but left it unintentionally on N, and shut the car off. The next day I tried to start the car by first put the gear to P after I pressed the ignition and the gear went to P, but the car didn’t start rather started to act weird, lights start flashing etc. any experience with that. Thank you
I've had a 2011 Laredo for over 10 years, now. Just turned 200,000km. Bought used, a former rental vehicle. Normal wear items, tires brakes etc. Thermostat engine not getting hot enough. Blend door as stated. Overall a pretty reliable rig. 🙂👍
2011, thermostat code - replaced at 170,000. Motor mounts 65,000- replaced. Front drive CV boots ripped and both half shafts - 85,000 replaced. Right front brake locked up 90,000. Oil filter housing 120,000 -replaced. Driver side cams and both sides lifters, valve cover gaskets replaced - 180,000. Right rear caliper broken - replaced also. There are others I have forgotten, it gets routine service.
I have a 2013 JGC overland summit 110k. Had several weird things happening intermittently. Recent Long crank, time on radio was stuck at 3:50, master window power switch stops working (i just unplug/replug the back to normal) and when reversing, the screen flickers. The dealer wants to replace all the parts I stated above. It sounds more electrical to me. So tomorrow I take it in for the ignition switch. Not ready to let let her go. Runs like new. Any ideas or suggestions?
2012 Hemi Overland w 122k- Air suspension line leak and then compressor failure, motor mounts, water pump, leaking steering rack, 2 broken exhaust manifold bolts, blend door motor failure
I have a 2015 grand Cherokee limited with 88k miles, 2 months ago replaced the thermostat and bled the cooling system to the best of my ability, but I noticed ever since I did it I’ve been getting a coolant smell when the heat is on it’s more noticeable when the heated air is directed at the legs area (downward), after much research I cannot find any answers I had it taken to a mechanic at local repair shop and after hoisting it up he looked for any coolant leaks but couldn’t find any and also my coolant reservoir is not low either, the temp gauge is in the middle between a quarter and middle level, I even asked him if the heater core was leaking and his reply was “no not this early for the model year or mileage”. I really baffled by this problem the coolant smell in the cabin is horrible I must wear a face mask while driving, any help with this issue I would really appreciate it thanks
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo owner here just got the car. I am a youtube mechanic so ive noticed every problem that was described here. I also wanna add my own: Whenever the air conditioner gets turned on the check engine light goes on It says the high fan circuit is open. Means the high fan wont turn on. i’ve heard its from a faulty wire to the PCM Until now remains unknown
bought my 2011 grand Cherokee Laredo X 4 years ago with 114k v6 since then blend doors, water pump, just had rack replaced ($2300 ouch!) and it appears my transfer case is on its way out. always been a jeep guy, but this one has cost me dearly. $$
2014 grand Cherokee and my thermostat has recently been tripping check engine light and it eats coolant like it’s goin out of style can’t find any leaks anywhere. Just hit 90 thousand in it other wise been great vehicle no other issues. And as for key fob I have only had to replace mine twice in 4 yrs.
@Kurt of Trades thanks for response and yea im pretty sure that is what it is just dont feel comfortable messing with that thing like that. I can do a lot to my truck but it's a 2001 doesn't have all those electronics
One thing I didnt see mentioned. Was 11-13 fuel pump relay. There was a recall. Didnt really solve the problem. I have a 2012 still deal with it once in a while. 3
17 V6 Overland at 79K sounded like ignition knock w ce light. Code for vario valve sensor turned out motor had to be replaced. Luckily I have the max care warranty. Now 113K intermittent ce code for cam sensor.
I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Laredo got it brand new in 2018 I have had it for five years I don’t drive it often it only has 25K miles on it but I have four recalls to take care of, the passenger door all of sudden started to yellow in the white paint, the AC is making a weird noise when it’s on, the window failed in the passenger, the tires don’t seem to handle any slight slippery moments it just seems like it can’t handle anything? I treat this car like gold too I’m surprised never had this many issues this early I live in a nice area don’t go many places so I’m surprised
I had the very hard shift 1-2 on the UK 3.0 diesel 5 speed auto RHD model with 110,000 miles on the clock. It's a 2011 model and came my way very cheaply. Looking through the car's history it had had various transmission services, so rather than repair, I bought a second hand transmission form a scrapyard and had that fitted. Fingers crossed it's now OK. What's so stupid is that there is no transmission oil dipstick so it's a matter of making one with long zipties. The fluid was a bit more brown than it should be and smelt a bit burnt. The previous owner towed a horse trailer to equestrian events so I'm assuming that the transmission worked pretty hard in muddy fields and that's worn the clutches. I may rebuild it on the bench if I can be bothered and can get the parts. ZF are really uncooperative and unfriendly to DIY mechanics here, unlike Borg-Warner who couldn't be more helpful. Having had Range Rovers and Mercedes cars with air suspension I avoid that like the plague. There are very few Laredo spec cars here in England but plenty of Limited spec cars, so I bought one of those. I never buy new cars, that's a great way to burn money
Mines is a 2014 JGC Overland. I just changed my oil filter housing, thermostat, water pump, something else regarding the gas leaking on the driver's side, and now i have gas leaking from my passenger side. Any suggestions?
Most of these problems are ironed out by 16. One that wasn’t and I don’t think you mentioned is the Park Sense module. It’s a well known fault and can cause the 16 onwards to slam the brakes when in reverse and you can’t de-activate it, it just reactivates itself. Mine went and was replaced under warranty with a new one with an updated module. 40k miles 3l eco diesel it’s not missed a beat. Second summit absolutely bullet proof
Only issue I'm having with my 15 gc limited 3.6L is the oil pressure jumps from 90s to 40s and back to 90s in a few seconds, and goes to normal pressure once at normal operation temperature.
2017 Laredo slight rattle in the front upon accelerating from a stop almost 140k miles I just replaced the thermostat the plugs and coil packs and vvt solenoid any ideas ?it’s like two cans rattling
The Dodge/Jeep/Chrystler keys are notorious for going bad and burning up the battery in them. They never "turn off". I have one key for my 2016 RAM that kills its battery every 2 weeks - and its a newer OEM remote at just 2 years old. Under a thermal i can see a chip always running warm and drawing power. I think it shorted when the key got damp in my pocket when washing it. You also need to watch out for the HEMI knock. The lifters will loosen and start tapping the valve cover and you will here the constant tick tick tick. it wears down the metal. And the Hemi's will start to burn oil when they get older. I've also owned several of the older model Grand Cherokees and have found even they had a lot of "common" issues that seems to happen around the same age/mileage for users such as the early 2000s models heater blend door warping and no longer working, and it requires removing half the dash to replace it. And the window lifters constantly break, usually its the rear right that fails first, then the driver And stay away from the diesel engine models of the Jeep Cherokees. My friends have had nothing but issues and the dealership was never able to fix them or even get the parts
My antifreeze leaks even after changing the radiator and water pump also somethings preventing my drivers seat from going forward i need to check the connections to ensure they are plugged in all the way all other seat functions work. (I own a 11 jeep gc overland)
I have a 2014 WK2 overland and in the mornings I usually let it warm up for a few seconds to avoid the hard shift between 1st and 2nd. I’ve noticed the ideal warm up period is as long as it takes for the Bluetooth to connect and start playing. On colder days it takes a little longer to connect but if I wait the couple extra seconds it shifts smoothly. Coincidence or is there something to it?
Just got a mint 2015 WK Limited with 109k. It’s been throwing a random P0420 code. No rhyme or reason to when after a reset, sometimes it’s 300 miles, sometimes 80 miles. Runs perfect but my scanner says a “stored” code. Thoughts?
I have a 2020 jeep grand cherokee limited 40k miles I am having a problem filling gas at gas station even using the nozzle up side down any ideas how to fix this problem? please anything might help thanks
I have a question my dad was driving my jeep and he heard a pop sound coming from the passenger side and when he look out it was red fluid on the floor do u know what is the problem my jeep won't drive now because of that
Glad I drive a '95 FirstGen GC. 175K and ZERO problems other than some normal wear of the steering box. Every button works and no oil leaks. The further away from the original AMC design Chrysler got, the worse the vehicle.
The dealer told my mechanic to replace the OE Center Stack and control module, is this the same part to repair if the HVAC is out… my check engine light is on
I read somewhere that Fiat from france bought the rights to build the jeep some years back. No wonder all the problems...i have been looking at 2017 to 2020 models to buy one..i think i will hold off on jeep.
My 2014 JGC is draining battery, and now the lift gate opens at will. Just replaced battery the problem ceased for about a week and now the lift gate refuses to close and opens at will.
My cousins 2011 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo is randomly shutting off when sitting at a stop but hasn't turned on any whoring lights and the dash! Are there any issues that you know of that could be causing this problem?
