After 22,000 miles we recently needed a transmission replacement. The new tranny, which I think is a 2015 model does work better than the original. I hope this one lasts longer than the first.
If you buy a Cherokee I would highly recommend the Chrysler max car lifetime extended warranty. I paid $2,000 for the warranty last year and worth the peace of mind.

Extended warranties are a cash cow for the dealerships. I would really look at your mileage per yer and then figure whether or not you need it. The response of replacing a tranny at 22,000 miles is still covered under factory warranty at zero deductible. Extended warranties will have a deductible. If you elect for an extended warranty, the dealerships are in bed with the extended warranty companies and certainly get a healthy profit on the policies they sell. I would suggest bargaining down your interest rate should you want to buy an extended warranty. You can get a minimum 1% discount on your loan rate and make sure they keep your deductible at $100 or less.
The new Cherokee is a well appointed, capable replacement for the Liberty. If you liked a Liberty you will love a Cherokee. I am a big Jeep guy, so I know that the issues the Cherokee may have pale in comparison to the huge problems Chrysler had with reliability issues on the Liberty.
