I bought this Jeep new in September of 2010 and it has never let me down. Its a great little truck, does awesome in the snow and gets decent gas mileage (22 in the city and as good as 26 on the hwy). I wouldn't hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere...and I mean that! It will go just about anywhere. Also, with a manual transmission this little trucklette is many times more reliable than the more common CVT models, plus it gets better gas mileage.

Interior:

The cloth interior has held up extremely well. There are no stains or marks on the front seats and the rear seat has indentations from child seats. I'm told if the child seats are taken out the normal shape of the seat returns...probably not an issue but worth mentioning. The carpet is near perfect everywhere and the factory original floor mats are still intact.

Exterior:

CarFax should show one accident back in 2012. A woman backed into the driver's side in her minivan. Insurance covered the repair and I had it performed at a legitimate shop opting to replace both the front and rear door with good used doors off a black Jeep Patriot rather than having the original doors repaired. It was more expensive to do it this way but worth it in my opinion to ensure there was no body filler or corrosion issues years later. The passenger side has a door ding about the size of a dime on the front door and a pretty decent size dent in the front fender just above the turn signal (see photos).

Mechanically:

This thing is rock solid. It corners flat, tracks straight and rides smoothly. The brakes are good and should last another 30 thousand miles depending how you drive. It has decent power for a 4 cylinder and I've never hand an issue with the engine/drivetrain. I added a K&N cold air intake at around 10k miles and saw a minor increase in mileage. The clutch has good grip and doesn't slip, squeal or chatter. The AWD/4WD system works as it should and the vehicle is not subject to any recalls.

Overall this Jeep is in good condition, it has a few minor imperfections but nothing that impacts performance or reliability.

Jeep: 4x4ever

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Jeep is turning 75 this year, and it seems like the star of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand stable has been making cool ads that run during the Super Bowl almost as long. (Yes, we know this was Super Bowl 50. We're exaggerating.) In this spot, all kinds of active sports and nature stuff that Jeep owners do (or least like other to think they do) is shown with every kind of Jeep, old and new. Here's to another 75 years.

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.

Jeep shows off Moab Easter Safari concepts crawling the red rocks

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

While most brands are busy showing off in New York, Jeep headed out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with the company's fleet of 2013 concepts. This year saw the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II, Wrangler Mopar Recon, Wrangler Stitch, Wrangler Sand Trooper II, Wrangler Flattop and Wrangler Slim Concepts tackle the rocks and sand, and Jeep was kind enough to bring along a camera crew to film the machines rolling over a few obstacles. The result is the video below, though don't expect to see too much hardcore off road action.
Instead, the quick clip features more than a few interviews with Jeep executives, including Jeep Head of Product Design Mark Allen, explaining what makes the Easter Jeep Safari so important. You can check out the quick clip below for yourself, and be sure to thumb through our galleries of the concepts as well.
