After driving this car for 9 months and nearing the 10,000 mile mark I have to say that I am very pleased. I have driven in almost every condition imaginable. In the snow it drives effortlessly with no trouble at all, in the mud it performs very well and will get through without any hesitation, on dirt roads the handling is flawless, and in the water no issues arise. After going on 4 road trips so far, I have to say it is excellent for traveling! The ride is super smooth, steering is amazing, and the cabin is extremely quiet. In terms of gas mileage, on the highway I average around 25mpg but have gotten up to 27mpg and in the city I average 18mpg. Over all this is an amazing vehicle!
great car but one MAJOR problem

My 2012 Grand Cherokee overland has been a very good SUV. Drives well, I like the looks, is comfortable and roomy. My issue with the car is that at about 40K miles the dashboard started to bubble and warp. Though I have an extended warranty, the deal (Rairdon of Kirkland, WA) says that they will not fix. So, I'm stuck with a car that looks good from the outside and but is hideous on the inside. I would not buy another 'luxury' car from Jeep, they clearly don't know how to make them and are not willing to stand behind their product.

After driving a Hummer H2 for several years, it was time for something new. I wanted a V8 4x4 SUV, and debated between a Tahoe and a Grand Cherokee. I am certain I made the right choice with the Jeep. I used to think the h2 was nice to drive, but the Jeep is a whole new experience. Much more comfortable, it has all the options (plus more) that the hummer did, and it is a little easier on gas. I have a fully loaded Laredo (Black on Black), and I could not be happier with the vehicle. It drives exceptionally well, has plenty of power, and looks sharp. It has had a few recalls..no big deal. Take it to the Jeep store and they are happy to take care of it. No major issues at 60k miles.
The recalled relay was the issue NOT the fuel Pump

I really loved my Jeep GC laredo. I had the key issue (one still doesnt work), dealt with the various recalls, including the "Relay". then the senor in the petrol tank issue came up and cost me $900+ to repair at the dealership in ATL. This issue which would slow the vehicle down in mid-drive that was VERY scary!! So the last couple months a new issue started - press the start button, all the lights would come on etc.. but car wouldn't start, kept fighting to start. No engine light came on to indicate there was an issue. I took it to the dealership, they hooked it up, diagnose the issue that i needed my " fuel pump replaced". That job too would cost $900+ ..( the jeep has 90k miles, the PT warranty/ and my extended Mopar Warranty expired in July 2017) So this last weekend, (easter) the car just wouldnt start - kept trying to start but nothing - I had to get it towed. But not to the dealership. I decided to take it to a reputable independent mechanic. What he found out was the "recalled relay, that was replaced by Chrysler Dealership in 2016" was the issue and NOT the fuel pump. he went over the Jeep and they said since it was a recall replacement the relay was not under warranty, but what was odd they said they couldn't sell a new mopar relay.. so he went an bought one at mechanic supplier.. changed it and BAM the Jeep Starts ... so if you are having this issue... be sure to ensure they check the relay.. ($200 job) verses replacing a good fuel pump ($900+) job....

I bought this Jeep Grand Cherokee Lardeo with the Altitude package about 5 weeks ago and I am simply amazed with it! My Grand Cherokee is a real SUV and not a glorified station wagon, which many SAV's are. (I call them suburban assault vehicles)... I had 3 requirements when I was looking for a new used SUV. had to have a V6, 4wd, and a trailer hitch... I spent many days looking for this at many dealerships. Finally on the 5th day I found this Laredo... It had all of my requirements and was in my price range... I haggled with the dealership for 2 days, until we agreed on a price.. I live way out in the woods in Florida, and with the rain we get I need something with 4wd sometimes just to get to the convenience store... I love the ride, and the way the vehicle handles, brakes, and accelerates.. The Pentestar engine that runs off Flex fuel has plenty of HP 290/300... The altitude package was kind of a "blackout" kit, plus it came with 265/50 R20 tires! Yes, the 5 speed automatic transmission is not the best, but I can get passed that. So far I am consistently getting around 22 mpg in mixed driving... I will update this in about 6 months to see if I still feel same the way.. Update November 29th 2018. I still feel the exact same way... What a wonderful vehicle! Update to the update... May 29/2019. The factory Goodyear Fortura's were okay, but I'm a BF Goodrich man. I spent about 30 mucks extra per tire by getting the BF Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport with a higher weight and speed rating... We finally had a "Florida" rain yesterday and I drove into town. The tires drove perfectly! The Jeep is great too, no problems, nothing but driving pleasure... Update: October 2nd, 2022. Well, I got in a few scrapes and will need a new rear passenger side door and front fender. I'm going to take it in ASAP to get the bodywork done, then some brakes and preventative battery replacement. Other than that, she's still running great!
