Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

Complete B.S. This is the third time for the rear main seal to fail. Only 72K miles!! I really can't wait to get rid of this P.O.S. I will never buy a Chrysler product again as long as I am alive. The dealer service writer tried to tell my wife that the seal failed again because the oil was overfilled. But they just did the oil change 3 days before. What a moron.

Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,000 miles

2nd time around.. Rear main seal went again. 4 days in the dealer for them to get it fixed. Really a joke. The 2 piece design is definitely flawed.

Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission

Had to replace the rear main seal at about $9K miles. Just started dumping oil out the back of the motor. The 2 piece design is definitely flawed.

Grand Cherokee Overland V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

Two engine mounts leaking. Who knew they were hydraulic. Replaced all 4 on advice of dealer mechanic who said they were junk. Jeep Overland driven in town only. Overland .....ha. This truck is not a Jeep. A poorly made embarrassment to US made products that has been a huge disappointment. Spent $45k and regret every penny. Took a chance on domestic 'luxury' and lost big time. Have to stop now as I have many other issues to report. Bubbles in leather dash, door lock broken, leak in motor, motor won't shut down, tailgate opens while driving, heat vent jammed, tire pressure sensor failed and more

Grand Cherokee Limited V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

WHY WOULD THIS LEAK? TO FIX THE TIMING CHAIN HEAD GASKET THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REMOVED. YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING "FIX ONE THING, BREAK ANOTHER". WELL TWO DAYS LATER THE JEEP IS BACK AT THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ANTIFREZE IS LEAKING OUT. AS I SPEAK, THE JEEP IS BEING REPAIRED. THEY FEEL IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT ISSUE. REALLY, OR JUST A MECHANIC WHO DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP AND DIDN'T TAKE HIS TIME PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER. LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE HAPPENS...STAY TUNED...
