I feel your pain man. I have a 2018 Laredo and I just passed 200k literally Sunday. I just got a P0128 code so it looks like I’m getting a termostat repair now. Also the only major fixes came were a new transmission at 171k, and a driver side axle repair. The radio is also delaminated, but otherwise everything else is good. Before I got the grand Cherokee, was considering a RAV4 or 4 Runner. Maybe in the future. Hang in there man!
I thought I had the dreaded tick, but I got lucky. I was in a hurry after doing an oil change and banged the plastic engine cover down not realizing it wasn't aligned and broke (brain fart- can't remember the name of the hose) the hose that runs under the left side of the engine cover from. It was actually where the hose connects into the plastic part I can't remember the name of. Real loud ticking. Temporarily superglued and taped it till the part I ordered came in and thankfully it worked. Hoping yours turns out to be a simple fix.
I own a 2016 Grand Cherokee limited, ... Well maintained, by ME .... 116k miles, Zero issues , thus far ..... And I LOVE this vehicle !!!!! Keep it (my vote...)
I'm trying to hang in but this thing is trying me! 2014, oil cooler x2, O2 sensors, oil pressure sensor, engine mounts, radiator, condenser, random electrical glitches. 😭 Now the tick.
Everything you have gone on with yours I've repaired on mine. It's a 5.7 and has had all the same issues. Rebuilt the top half of the motor because of the tic...now something is going on with the air ride. It never ends! The rack is not hard to do but its a lot of steps. Look up the process for a durango that's the best video about. There is also a video that shows the short cut to do the motor mounts. Look up how to change the oil pan gasket and you will understand how to do the mounts. Truck is a money pit if you don't do the work yourself. Never again but I love the power and dont want a new note so I keep fixing it.
Forgot, to you and all your viewers with 2014 and 2015's with the 3.6 (not sure about prior years). If you live in a hot area or experience hot seasons, and you haven't replaced your thermostat housing, do yourself a favor and replace it now. They're plastic and they will crack at the bend. Jeep upgraded the part with a beefier reinforcement in 2016. Either get the upgraded part, or buy a metal aftermarket one. Mine cracked at 60,000 miles. It's a common thing, but super easy to do yourself for a $30 part. I'm at 110,000 miles and getting ready to tackle my spark plugs. Since getting to the oil cooler is not that much harder, I'll be replacing my oil cooler with an all aluminum one instead of the plastic/metal combo that is OEM. To be fair, Jeep isn't the only manufacturer putting way too much plastic in the engine components, but they have a nack for putting them in hard to get to places
Also have a 14...just put almost $6k into it and still not done...on the third oil pressure sensor...just in the last 5 weeks! Too much invested now to get rid of it😢
I had a grand cherokee with this issue and the issue with failing censors repeatably is a bad ground. Mine was a failing ground to the firewall. I cleanded the ground and reinstalled and all the issues went away.
I've got a 2014 GC Limited Diesel Owned for just over 2 years, 108,000 klms. Service as required, just replaced front and rear shocks, have been told "minor" leak in power steering rack. Touch wood, other than now needing new rear tyres, it's caused no grief.
I am a woman, not able to do repairs myself. I am considering a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2019-2022. Does anyone have any experience, especially maintenance cost related? I've reviewed your initial review on Cherokee, and now this one has me very scared...😮 Not recommended for a later model?
I just got rid of my 2014 Grand Cherokee overland with 142k miles and bought me a a Mercedes Benz GLE AMG COUPE. I was tired of putting money into it as well and I had never had any issues but the engine light and the leak was getting on my nerves

Give it time...once you get closer to 150k you will see!

I'm so sorry! This thing is an absolute money pit 😭 I also had to do oil cooler x2. I tried to love it but it's not loving me back lol

That’s awesome to hear! I’m hoping for a bit of luck like that myself.
Finally traded mine in since i had $1200 sensor repair.. was tired of getting stranded😅
Haha 1200 for a dang sensor. I don't blame you. 😅
What sensor was that?
