Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (2010-2020) Questions & Answers (page 3 of 3)

Have no idea Drew. Suggest you contact Jeep themselves. Good luck.

Had a similar problem, not by flooding, motor stalled and wouldnt start, had to disconnect gear lever/selector underneath vehicle and put in neutral, there is a neutral switch on centre console behind selector for terrain but wouldnt work so towie got under and did the job.

Hi Mal. We didn't have a cooling problem. Mind you, have heard from other GC owners even without towing, that this problem has arisen.The only dangerous problem we had was that the Overland had quad air suspension which didn't turn out to be very helpful for towing. The GC recalls and problems are so erratic that it's hard to advise anyone. What one person's problem with the Jeep is may not be another's. All depends on which model you have as well. Haven't heard of towing issues with the Limited or the Laredo ... only the Overland. The other two have coil suspension so not affected. Wish you all the best and hope your Jeep does as it was intended to.

Our model is 2010, but we also have a 2.5t caravan and have had no problems towing in any regard. Happy holidays.

All Jeep owners would be advised to join Ausjeepoffroad forum.no cost and one of the biggest in the world. Huge amount of info for all model Jeeps new and old.

Some times they have it under the gear selector console they have all taped up good luck. don't forget jeep have canbus system you cannot just hardwire ask an auto electrician they will be able to help? or there's always YouTube they have everything you want to add to your jeep just as i have .
good luck

As a Jeep owner I would recommend that you rather look for a Landcruiser or Patrol. The Grand Cherokee is more suited to a different application. If you really want a Jeep rather look at a Wrangler.

Of course the 2014 jeep grand cherokee will do the job. Been on some rough country with one and towed a large van for more than 20000 ks . After having patrols for 18 years I have no hesitation to recommend the diesel grand cherokee 60,000 ks on it so far

Sounds like a faulty (flawed) rear windscreen to me. If I was Jeep I'd replace it and put a claim into glass manufacturer.

I went to our local dealership and they just fobbed us off saying that it could have been a small chip to the glass that did this, as I type O'Briens are installing a new one (through our insurance) but don't know where to go from here and would this new replacement now affect our warranty?

Unfortunately for you this will be hard to prove.I have at times phoned Chrysler (Jeep) in Melbourne and found them quite good to deal with.You could try them to discuss this matter.Good luck ( I think your going to need it)...cheers

My dealer charged $ 400.00 for that service...Cheers

Hi Trev. I have a overland. We have towed our van with ease. I set up the level riders at the lowest setting. you can adjust the height in the cab to this setting. The height will vary but if you set it up to be level at the cruise height it seemed good. Our vans ball weight isn't that heavy and I stopped using the levelers as the jeep stays fairly level any way. I hopes this helps.

Hi Peter. I think that is the way we will go. Thank you for your reply.

I tow a 19.5ft boat fitted with a 270hp V8 and it does an excellent job. Very sturdy and the fuel economy is quite good on the highway.

I have no experience with the petrol motors,sorry.I know that the 3.0l diesel would probably be fine (not knowing the weight of your van),but any comment about the petrol motors from me, may be misleading.

The 4x4 V6 Grand Cherokee can tow 2949kg.

I have been taking my cars to Alan Mance Motors in Footscray for over 35 years always had great help and services.
Tell Mark Mario sent you?

Hi There, look some Jeeps get average reviews but not so much the SRT...I sold mine unfortunately this week but the 17,000ks I did from new in mine were faultless and trouble free. I look at it this way
Body: Is a ML Mercedes body (not jeep)
Motor: Hemi (not jeep)
Gearbox: German 8 speed box (not jeep)
Suspension: Bilstein (not jeep)
Brakes: Brembo (not jeep)

they are all renowned specialist companies...I thought I would drive mine for the warranty duration and IF it had issues its Jeeps problem then after the three years I would weigh up wether its worth owning out of warranty OR see if I could purchase another 2 years factory warranty...
All in All after owning alot of cars in my time the SRT was by far the BEST car I have owned.....I have also over the years owned 2 x JK Cherokees and neither of those had a warranty claim on them..
Regards
