2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

If you envision using your SUV for both "sport" and "utility," the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is tough to beat. In the Snowbelt Jeep's three 4WD systems provide needed security throu

You May Not Like This Car If...

To create a platform with both on- and off-road capability, there are inevitably some compromises of interior room and accommodation. And while the Grand Cherokee's wheelbase stretch for 2011 created

How it Drives

At its price point the new-for-2011 Grand Cherokee was one of the most capable on- and off-roaders available. The key is adaptation of an all-independent suspension for enhanced on-road composure and comfort, while not compromising its prowess when the pavement becomes unpaved. And for those with a real penchant for the "road less traveled," Jeep's available Quadra-Lift air suspension (4x4 only) impresses with its ability to clear large objects off-road, while hunkering down beneath the turbulent air at higher on-road speeds.

"Purchased a 2014 Jeep Overland end of April and didn't have it a full 30 days before it was in the shop. I loved the looks and the way the SUV drove when originally purchased. However the UConnect screen has locked up, blacked out and froze. One time it froze and wouldn't let me change the volume of the stereo even w/ the knob below screen. These glitches came and went but now Jeep is in the shop bc the whole panel touch screen as well as dash screen flashed errors. It also appears that the parts are not in stock and will take weeks to repair. I'm hoping their resolution will be a final fix but it doesn't sound like it will. All in all I'm not happy with my purchase. This is not reliable and with any new car you expect reliability. I think they rolled out the 2014's before they should have."

"After owning five Fords, decided to try a 2014 Jeep Overland. Bought on Friday and took it back on Monday. Got it back a week later and took it back a week later and haven't seen it again. Issues: GPS screen goes blank, GPS screen gets distorted, GPS nav doesn't talk, side car alarm sounds and won't shut off, radio won't turn down or up just stays at the same volume....and the list goes on. Now, if I pull over, cut car off and re-crank, it will sometimes reset everything and work sometimes. Jeep dealer did a USB software glitch update first time I brought it in. Second time they said they were going to have to replace entire system. They've had it this time almost two weeks. Told us today there isn't one sitting on a shelf that they can get and they can't tell us when it will ever be fixed. So it has sat in their garage more than mine. They say the 2013 models don't have this issue. It's only the 2014 models. What I don't understand is why they are still advertising and selling them I'f they know there is a computer glitch."
