Used 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

"I’ve had a few issues..."

"Bought my car from the dealership with less then 60,000 miles on it and I had electrical issues with the power windows, got it fixed at the dealership as well as needing new spark plugs. Here I am 3 years later having the same issues with the windows yet again. There is a wire the connects to the starter that kept frying which would leave me or my fiancé stranded, turns out that’s very common for this year. We had a mechanic friend fix it for us and so far it’s held up. About 3 years into having the car the rear differential broke which caused it to smoke (no noise no leaking beforehand). But other then these issues it drives AWESOME in the snow and I actually enjoy driving my Jeep. Hopefully it will last another 100,000 miles"

"Recommend, especially for averaged size people"

"Laredo V-6 engine, 4WD. Bought the car new. Handed down to my daughter in college. Has been rock solid overall. PROS: Reliable. Only issue was a power window and air conditioner went out. Beast in the snow if you have decent tires. Gas mileage not great. 5 star safety. Easy to park. Easy to drive. Decent pickup for V6. Lifetime drive train warranty was a big initial purchase factor. I am 6-5 300lbs and drove the car for 10 years. Can't say it felt roomy but was never uncomfortable, even on long drives (10)+ hours). CONS Rear seating is terrible as it is for all jeeps it seems. I am not sure why they can't get this right but no legroom in the back. Rear seat does not fold flat with the front seats back. Lots of plastic in the interior. Expected nicer finishes but got a great deal when purchased new. Exterior door handles seem a little flimsy."

"Had a few GC this one type S 5.7 best"

"This Grand Cherokee 4x4 Type S V8 hemi is tops. Regular maintenance using synthetic oils and fluids. It has performed excellent. It handles excellent specially with little stiffer shocks and 1" rear add on sway bar. One size tires wider is best. Great tracking on Hwy. Just a/c replacement once and other minor a/c module. Only used from Jeep recomended fluids and special Jeep fluid add on to differentials, noise stoped! Changed front differential 3 rubber mount kit and no more clunking. For hauling a trailer with midsize car, no problem at all. 5.7 hemi performs great. 4x4 is great. No electrical problems, older generation not so. A great choice for a 4x4 that feels strong and no hesitation with great power. 5.7 Hemi is the ticket. Power ratio to weight better than newer models up to 2014. Only a 2014 or newer I would scale up. Otherwise this 2010 HemI Type S is fantastic. Rare the Type S model. It's the Overland with more goodies specially the seats, and more. Top of the line Grand Cherokee. Next year maybe go for a 2014 or newer 5.7 hemi. Otherwise this Jeep has been great for 4 years, bought it used. Look no further for all best in class midsize. It doesn't feel like a midsize with plenty of room inside. Easy parking anywhere. If you find one, grab it specially the 5.7 4x4. I use regular grade and for towing use 89 octane. Good luck, Jay."
