2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:
I have owned a 1993 Jeep, a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a 2002 Grand Cherokee, and now a 2005 Grand Cherokee. The other jeeps were by far better cars. My air conditioner switch will only work on high. Very irritating. This jeep also has a shutter/vibrating sound when it is first started.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:
Seats stain with anything, Everything seams to break on it. The 4.7 litter has no power, Gets 17 miles per gallon, fit and finish very poor, Servicing the jeep is a nightmare. Always waiting long for parts.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:
I have had to replace the radio twice. The front Differenial blew up on me the first time I went in to low gear. The driver side window just fell off its track. The thing can not get out of its own way. Gas milage is at 17mpg and most of my driving is on the highway.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I just have the 05 Jeep Cherokee Laredo, but I love the looks of it. Although I too have had problems with it starting (but only sometimes, and them a second after it doesn't start, it fires right up) I have had the battery and the starter replaced, but occasionally it still does it.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I like the color of my light interior, but I absolutly hate the material of the seats. Mine are cloth, and if even so much as a drink sweats on them, they constantly look wet (even though there not), and when I try to clean them it makes a bigger mess. they only come clean when i take it and have it detailed.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:
I really like it, but wish it had different cloth interior.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I have the 2005 limited with the hemi which I love, however I am having problems with it not starting or going completely dead while sitting at an intersection. This is very scary. Has anyone else had this problem. The dealer can't seem to find anything wrong. I only have 10000 miles on it.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
More headroom on the passenger side

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:
I really do like it but I am running scared that this going dead in the water could get me killed.
