2017 GC Limited 4WD.

2017 GC Limited 4WD. Bought it 3 years ago with 53k miles and now approaching 108k miles. When we bought it, we went to fill the tank for the first time and the gas pump kept shutting off. Turns out there was a known issue with the fuel filler neck assembly. The selling dealer replaced it under warranty and we literally didn't have another issue until 100k miles. At 100k miles took it in for new spark plugs, which is normal maintenance, and found the radiator leaking. The new radiator was not cheap. Have not had any other issues, just replaced the factory original brakes, they made it almost to 108k! We live in Minnesota and this vehicle is an absolute beast in the snow. Put it in snow mode and it is very stable and feels unstoppable. It is a comfortable long distance cruiser and gets decent mileage on the highway, between 24-27mpg. The UConnect system is very easy to use, and the nav is pretty good, but the whole system operates quite slowly. That's a minor complaint I think. Overall we are pretty happy with our WK2.

Theses 2017 grand jeeps have a history of the outside

Theses 2017 grand jeeps have a history of the outside fuse box going bad and there’s no recall even tho many in 2000’s and later have had these issues. They ghosted fixing the 16-20 year models . There’s no recall for those years . Major expense to the owner and having to be without a loaner car . Even with extended warranty the owner will still have to pay more on the back end of the repairs. We took ours in to the dealer $100. Up front another sign contract for $600. On the back end . We like the car a lot but feel that the dealer should cover this previous stupid electrical problem. Our Ac comes on and off at any given time. When it turns off you go outside and wiggle the relays and it would return for a while. Cost for a tipm box new is over $500. Used $330 if you’re lucky that one will work correctly. Ours did not from the company called Mavs . And they were rude and blunt on the phone. We’re sick of this problem! Beware the challengers are very similar. We purchased it with 26,000 miles I found under the air filter an outside temp sensor as if someone changed that before and lost it in the air duct . Someone was trying to fix the problem before hand . We’ve had it 3 years now with 75,000 miles it all is going bad again .

Still loving my Jeep

Bought my 2017 Overland 2WD preowned with 74k miles. It’s now Feb of 2024 my Jeep’s got 135k on the odometer and I’ve never once had an issue. I occasionally get car fever, start looking at cars online, but the second I jump behind the wheel of my Grand Cherokee I smile and decide to keep it for a little longer. I still love the look, it’s super comfortable, has plenty of power, all the bells and whistles I want (and beyond), and I love the fact not every single thing is touch screen as most modern vehicles. I love I can turn up the volume, operate the AC and many features with good ‘ole KNOBS without taking my eyes off the road.

Not Impressed

I loved my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee from the start, bought it brand new and have done all regular maintenance with synthetic oil changes regularly. Now it is just an expensive lawn ornament because the engine seized without warning. Check engine light flashed twice and the A light flashed twice. We went shopping no problem then parked it at home and 2 days later it wouldn't start. Had it towed in to dealership and they say engine is seized due to no coolant. Now I'm paying for a lawn ornament VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

Jeep Guy

I've owned 3 Jeep products (2 Cherokees, and 1 Wrangler) and bought Cherokees 3 for my kids. Now they bought their own. Reliable, durable, and affordable. I love my 2017 Altitude. Looks great. The only thing I had to replace was a water pump at 80,000 miles.

My Baby's Baby

This is the best car we've ever had! Before my wife passed away, we bought this car (pre-owned), she fell in love with it and insisted on driving everywhere! Since she passed in Sept, 2021, I've been driving it and I LOVE IT TOO! I have some issues with programming/memory, but the dealer assures me they can fix this problem

Great all arounder.

I bought my used 2017 limited around christmas of 2022. Its now may of 23 and i cannot believe how much i like this thing. Always been a ford truck guy but for a great all arounder....this jeep cannot be beat. I got the 3.6L V6, has alot more giddy up then you would expect, tows my 4200lb trailer with ease, and in my daily driving i average around 22mpg. Snow/off road performance is excellent...its not a 78 Bronco but for a modern SUV its very capable. 10inches of slushy snow riding on street tires it ate it up and asked for more. Its comfortable, drives good, and ive put 7000mi on since december with not so much as a hiccup. Reccommend to anyone looking for an SUV.

I love my jeep :)

I love my jeep! I have reached the 110k mark and there have been no issues with my jeep. I ensure to do the regular maintenance and keep it running like new. There's a reason why the resale value on jeeps is high :) The interior is comfortable and gives you a feeling of luxury without the crazy high price tag. Honestly the only downside to having a jeep is the mpg, but that is what you get with a jeep:)

Love this Jeep!!!

It’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. It’s comfortable for road trips and I have the one with the HEMI and it pulls the boat like it doesn’t exist.
