Replying to: kmauss (Aug 17, 2008 10:57 am) HI there. Reliability has improved quite a bit. The latest generation (WK) came out on 2005. buying a first year models are always a bad idea -- regardless of the car.   I have a 2008 and not only has it been very reliable, it's been a great pleasure to drive. They have lifetime powertrain warranty.   There's going to be a redesign in 2010. Not sure how different it will be from today's model because of gas prices, etc. If you like the current one, you might want to pull the trigger for a 2009 at the latest. Remember, don't buy a first year model   Best of luck. It is an awesome SUV. My only regret is not getting the Quadradrive II (I "just" have Quadratrack II).   Feel free to ask any questions. And don't rely on my opinion. Do your research. Oh, and as a bonus it's an awesome time to get a great price on one right now.

Replying to: verdugo (Aug 17, 2008 3:28 pm) Thank you Verdugo! I would probably be looking at next year at the earliest -- it wouldn't financially make sense right now no matter how good the deals are. I'm only a little over a year into a 3 year lease, so I'd be eating a good chunk of very low lease payments. I got caught by surprise last spring -- I had a car that was having major problems and I had to make a fast decision or spend a ton of money, so I didn't have much time to do any kind of research or even test driving. So having the luxury of a car under warranty and VERY low payments, I want to take full advantage of the time to look around and make sure when I trade again, I get exactly what I want.   By the way, that Lifetime Powertrain Warranty -- how good is it? How much does it cover? It sounds good in theory, but if it doesn't cover some major 'stuff' that can go wrong, what's it worth?   Anyway, thanks again and hope to hear from other owners. Much appreciated! Karen Replies to this message: verdugo (Feb 14, 2009 9:10 am) mikeyp53 (Apr 06, 2009 6:41 pm)

Replying to: jim88 (May 11, 2005 10:30 am) My 2003 jeep seems to be doing the same thing. Did you ever find out what the problem was? No one has been able to help, check engine light has just come on. Auto Zone could not tell me anything, no code showed up on computer.

It sounds good in theory, but if it doesn't cover some major 'stuff' that can go wrong, what's it worth?   It covers everything related to the drive train. It is only applicable to the first owner, you can't transfer it when you sell the car. It requires a free inspection every 5 years.   Check this out. http://www.jeep.com/en/lifetime_powertrain_warranty/ Replies to this message: mikeyp53 (Apr 06, 2009 6:41 pm)
#2450 of 2465 High Mileage by elevateman Feb 21, 2009 (10:37 am)
I'm considering buying a used 2005 grand Cheroke, the car has been kept immaculate, serviced regularly,but it has 95,000 miles on it. Are jeeps known to run long after 100,000? I'm looking at it to be my daughters first car so it needs to be dependable. any input would be appreciated!! Replies to this message: trek87 (Feb 21, 2009 3:10 pm) tuggajb (Feb 21, 2009 3:37 pm)

Replying to: elevateman (Feb 21, 2009 10:37 am) I have a '98 GC with 142K. Still runs like new, but I've been pretty religious about preventative maintenance. I won't drive anything else in the snow.   Good luck.

Replying to: verdugo (Feb 14, 2009 9:10 am) I have a Grand Cherokee 2004 with V8. Still under 7/70 warranty for drivetrain. Chrysler has never quibbled about my two warranty issues, steering cloumn and front differential. Make sure you keep you repair bills and you are fine. You need to show your repair/maintenance records for the 5 year inspection. Real question is when they go bankrupt, how long is a lifetime?
