It obviously wasn't one being recalled that passed me on the Glenburn to Yarra Glen Road at the Kinglake turnoff doing 120km per hour towing a large caravan yesterday. How he didn't manage to roll the van over the side on the bends still amazes me. Must have been in a hurry to get his Jeep serviced....

his brakes probably weren't working:-)

Or he wanted to get to his destination before it broke down.

[Jon]

Didnt know he was speeding as the dash display was off.

Because it isn't a Toyota or a Nissan!

Perhaps people buy them because they are very good vehicles and exceptional value for money, this is mostly why I own a Jeep.

Every vehicle has its share of issues, just look at recall.gov.au.

Seemed a pertinent thread to stick the latest news from Jeep (Fiat Chrysler)-

  I've owned a Nissan, a Toyota and yes a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep looked great and went great (I had the model with the Mercedes Diesel), the trouble was it started falling apart after four years of easy work and I couldn't be bothered waiting six weeks for minor parts to be shipped from Singapore. As an ownership experience it was horrible. Good vehicles and exceptional value for money? Not in a million years.

I love my Jeep. Ownership experience has been awesome, and I have a new hobby as well.

I would never buy a new one however. Come to think of it, about 15 years old like mine and fully sorted seems about right.

We've got a 2004 KJ model, goes good on the beach, tows the van like a rocket and when we go off road, its a gem.
If fact, as we turn from the bitumen, the Jeep just excels up the driveway.

The wife goes off road most days.

And speaking of old cool cars, would love either of these.

[3rd time lucky]

Being a former Jeep GC owner ('02 Overland V8) I love these articles. They make me rest easy at night knowing I did not trade up to newer models (was dangerously close to doing so at one point).  The pain still lingers, perhaps if I am bored I will dig up my email to Jeep Australia head office with my list of complaints and repairs.  Its agonising reading for Jeep owners, but bloody hilarious for everyone else 

[GBC]

I direct my friends who 'think' they might like to buy one, to the JD Power Customer Satisfaction Surveys taken each year in the states. Chrysler brands own the bottom 10 spots consistently.

Amen.

Then presumably the leadfoots and hoons will be muchly pleased if the rumours are true-

Relax muggsy it's only a glorified Jeep on our tail

Yes, the 380 is one of the Chrysler/Fiats occupying the lowest depths of the surveys. There are so much smarter decisions in car buying for cops than that. Having said that I own a Subaru Tribeca, proudly made in Indiana and it has been a pretty good car.

Actually Chrysler seem to have lifted their game. They are delivering better than anticipated owner satisfaction apparently.
