I've been a Jeep guy for two and a half decades (starting with an '85 CJ7), and I plan to buy a new Jeep when I hand off the JKU to my son in a couple of years. The wife is looking at Cherokees, but my buddy sent me a couple of links about the safety and reliability issues. I figured I'd see what the current owners are saying about the Cherokee and GC.
I saw someone on this board repeat the common advice to never buy the first model year. While that seems to be borne out by the 2015 GC having fewer recalls than the 2014 so far, the latest investigation extends to the 2015: U.S. regulators upgrade, expand Fiat Chrysler gearshift probe
How bad are these problems, really? Would you recommend a GC or Cherokee to anyone, perhaps after a certain model year? How much would we be depending on the dealer to fix things after the fact?
