We really wanted the Jeep Cherokee but I am reading the horror stories for the newer models. It looks like the GMC Terrain is minimal issues with just removing a fuse.
I'm a little apprehensive on buying a Jeep as I've had two in the past. A new '96 and a new '99 Grand Cherokee Ltd's. The '96 was a 2x4 and the '99 a 4x4 quadra-trac.
Both left me stranded several times and had to be towed back to the dealer. I only kept them under their warranty periods (3 yrs.) The quadra-trac had to be rebuilt twice and still didn't work 100%. So, I shy'd away from them for years.
I was parked next to a fella recently driving a 2014 Grand Cherokee.... he is on his second making Chrysler buying the first one back (2011). Even his '14 is troublesome (his words).... he doesn't want another one.
So, on that note, I am very curious how other folks with new Jeeps are doing.
I like the Jeep Cherokee.... but, I want something as reliable as the two past Honda CR-V's that we've owned. I'm telling you, they are virtually flawless. But, the new one's can't be towed. Darnit.
I had such a bad experience with my new Oldsmobile in 1981 (diesel), that I never bought another American car since then except for the first Jeep (AMC), the second was owned by Mercedes.
I have pretty much been a foreign car buyer since 1981. With 8 cars in the stable, only one is American as it was inherited (Lincoln Town Car), it's not a bad car, just doesn't have a strong air conditioner.
I will drive the CR-V for about 6 yrs.....so, a 2019 car will be on the radar.
