[QUOTE="RaptorFan1988, post: 1746739, member: 48715"] I'm also not the right person to ask but between my wife, father, and myself we’ve owned many grand Cherokees: a 96 (ZJ), a 2002 (WJ), a 2009 and 2011 (WK), and now 3 WK2s (2014/16/19) – these were leases. We’ve also had 2 XJ Cherokees (99 and 2002), and a 97 wrangler TJ. I can say without a doubt that these vehicles have steadily declined in reliability as time has gone on. Part of it makes sense that way more technology has been added over time which leaves more room for error, but my first Jeep, the 96, went 265K without giving many issues at all. For the WK2s we’ve switched to leasing and I’m thankful for it. Each one has had sunroof failures, uconnect issues, rattling of interior parts/seats, but luckily no powertrain issues because we always stuck to the 3.6L and were low mileage. Things that frankly shouldn’t be so common for a 50k+ vehicle. My sister is on her second newer generation Cherokee and will not be getting a third she’s had so many electrical gremlins. It's not that the TJ and XJs didn’t rattle (of course they did), but we gave them a pass because we expected that for the price point and their off-roady design. Also having the 4.0L and a 5 speed helped the fun factor. Those were the most enjoyable to own out of the bunch. [/QUOTE]
