I bought a 2018 Cherokee latitude. It's a mixture of great and disappointing. The look, interior, and base model features are above average. It looks good, the inside is spacious and comfortable, the Bluetooth connectivity and backup cam are nice semi-modern touches, and it's nice to sit it. Unfortunately, the engine is not great. The 2.4L V4 is sluggish, under powered, and frustrating. It's fine for basic commutes where you never go over 45mph. However, the car has no pep, no get-up-and-go, and at higher speeds, you really have to push it to pass slower cars on the freeway. I wouldn't recommend the V4 Jeep Cherokee models if you have a choice. The V6 (preferably all wheel drive) feels like an actual jeep. However, you can get the slow, meandering engine from any brand with better tech features and better gas mileage for a better price. I did not enjoy this car and traded it in as soon as I could.

I purchased my Jeep last year brand new. It hasn’t been a year yet and it’s cut off on me 3 times already. The truck only has 19,000 miles on it! The 1st time it cut off I was at a stop light, the 2nd time I was at a stop sign, the 3rd time my vehicle was moving in traffic and it stopped. I had to call a tow truck and get towed to the dealership I purchased it from. As soon as the tow truck driver got there he wasn’t at all surprised about what was going on. His response was, I’ve been towing so many of these cars. He said that seems like they just shut off when you’re almost or overdue for an oil change! That’s craziest thing I’ve ever heard of! My car will cut off if I’m “almost” due for an oil change. So the dealership kept my car and looked at it for a couple of days. The got back to me and guess what they had to say... We went ahead and did your oil change and topped you off.. It looks like your engine is going through oil way to fast because your engine stick was completely dry! I can’t believe that this has happened to me. The tow truck driver was right!

Bought our ‘18 Cherokee Limited from a Jeep dealer as a certified pre-owned in Sept ‘18. It is May ‘19 & we have traded it despite negative equity because of the maintenance hassles. Had to have it towed twice because the engine shut down. According to the dealer (the second time), that happens if the oil is too low. First problem - there were never any warning lights to indicate a problem. Second problem - a check of the instruments showed greater than 30% oil life both times. Third problem - we were not warned about this feature when purchased or the first time it stalled out in traffic. The second time it was towed, the dealer “didn’t have time to do an oil change, but put a couple quarts in, no charge.” This was when they told me that the stalling was just a safety feature. How is it safe to stall out in a busy highway with no warning? The final issue was that two of the tires had to have air added at least twice a week. These were the original manufacturer installed tires. The dealer offered to make a deal on new ones, but washed their hands of doing more, even though we found & reported the issue in the first two weeks of ownership. This was a fun car to drive, is beautiful, and handles like a dream. Wasn’t worth all the aggravations & feats of it stalling again with no warning. And the gas mileage if you’re a heavy driver? Not good.

I put over 1,000 miles on it the first week. Very good on the highway and not bad on city streets. Compared to my 92 Wrangler with over 350,000 on the odometer this vehicle is a Limo. I do find it odd that FCA left 2014 technology in the radio when even they step down vehicle Compass has the new radio. Still very disappointed that Jeep lied about being able to upgrade the radio after the sale to include Android Auto. I also will NEVER buy another Jeep product after being lied to about being able to renew UConnect on an annual discounted basis. It's sad they tried to take advantage of their customers during the pandemic. **UPDATE** After 2 1/2 years and 35,000 miles I'm still happy with the 2018 Cherokee. But the dealership (several different) people that told me the car either came with Android Auto or it was a coming update tell me I should probably choose a different manufacturer next time.......one where the people actually know their vehicles.

Since day one of owning my Jeep Cherokee with the 4 cylinder engine I have had nothing but issues with it and have even had to have it towed to the dealership because it stopped working. It has 34000 miles on it and I use 3 quarts of oil between the oil changes(4000 miles recommended) and Jeep says there is nothing they can do about it even though it is still under warranty. I have also had to take it to the dealership at 8000 miles because a switch in the transmission went out and all the light on the gearshift came on.
