2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:

My Jeep is a great car for my wife. It's fine on its own and handles well in all weather conditions but it's not too good at towing a small RV on our trip out west. We were passed by a little old lady driving a VW bus pulling a large trailer load of water. The jeep just couldn't go any faster.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

I loved having my jeep, until the problems started. Since 27,000 miles we have had nothing but problems.

 

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

I would so much change the jeep itself, but I would definitely change somethings about the Chrysler Corp.

 

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:

You know, I think we might have gotten a lemon. At 27,000 the transmission went out, and instead of replacing it, they rebuilt it. At 39,000 the transmission started acting up again. They checked it out and said it was fine. A week later we had an $800 tune-up, and 2 days later we were stranded in the middle of the desert. The transmission had gone out again. We were towing a small U-haul trailer, total weight was about 1500lbs. We averaged 8-10 mpg. Chrysler covered $100 of the $450 tow cost, and didn't cover the repair either.
Our A/C went haywire. It only worked in the highest setting. We took it in, they said this was a common issue, Chrysler was aware of the issue and had come up with a fix, but still didn't cover the cost. Now the rear seal on our engine block is leaking and surprise, surprise they don't cover that either. This is alot to deal with, not to mention all of the little issues we've had, ie..windows, airbag, calibrations in the front seat, the dealership in Yuma,AZ not tightening the oil filter enough twice, and several other annoyances. I will never buy anything from Chrysler again, and I tell everyone that will listen all of our issues and encourage them to never purchase Chrysler.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:

I buy a new car every three years, and cannot see spending +/- $60K for a vehicle I cannot drive any longer. I have the V8 Hemi with all options and for the money don't think there is another SUV that can hold a candle to it. I have owned five Jeeps before this and will buy another one in 18 months.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Interior way too much on the plastic side. 4.7 liter engine tends to sputter after coming out of a turn and aceletating. Needs more legroom in second row.

 

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review:

Had 2 Grand Cherokees before this one and the Germans engineered the comfort right out of it!
Performance is nothing like the 2000 or 2004 I leased. Miss them. May look elsewhere come 2009.
