Jeep Problems

Jeeps have a reputation for being hit or miss with reliability. How they are looked after, including servicing, driving style, and car care, all have a huge bearing on the reliability found by owners as some seem to get breakdown-plagued lemons, while others never have an issue. If you want a car you can basically ignore, put fuel in and drive around, I'd look to a Toyota Prado.

I think you’ll struggle to get a refund, after all Jeep is prepared to fix the problem by changing the engine.

An automotive locksmith might be you best bet. The price will depend on a few factors like how old the car is. You can read more about how to replace your car keys here.

Without more information like the variant, year etc its hard to say. Often a cheap automotive locksmith will save you money, but sometimes a trip to the dealer will be necessary. You can read more about how to replace your car keys here.

Exploding sunroofs are not unknown, they can occur on any vehicle, but the cause is difficult to determine. She could have an automotive glass company take a look at it to see if they can spot anything amiss with it.

Jeeps tend to have a hit-and-miss reputation with reliability. Some people have nothing but trouble from the time they drive out of the dealership, while others can get hundreds of thousands of kilometres of faithful service from theirs. The Cherokee models, petrol and diesel, seem to prefer being used on long highway commutes rather than in short, stop-start city driving as my best friend's 2015-model diesel Cherokee has been a picture of reliability since he bought it and he regularly commutes several hundred kilometres per-day.

His diesel is serviced on-time, every-time which no doubt helps reliability.

If you want to have the problems attended to at no cost you need to negotiate with Jeep in the hope they will come to the party with a good will gesture. If that doesn’t result in an outcome satisfactory to you try enlisting the help of your state consumer affairs people.

Most Jeeps are made in America, although there are a few exceptions for certain models.

If there are any common problems and complaints about Jeep's reliability or faults, they'll likely show up on our Jeep problems page. You can also calculate a car's projected resale value via our price and specs page.

The Jeeps are perfectly capable of doing the trip you are planning, and if anything did go wrong while you were away there are dealers all around the country who cold fix it for you. At 2000 kg your caravan is not particularly heavy and shouldn’t stress the Jeep at all. The Prado is the other obvious choice, and it too will do the job with ease. Others to look at are the Kia Sorento and Isuzu MU-X.
