The Jeep Grand Cherokee is highly touted for being a powerful sports utility vehicle that can handle both on road and off-road terrain. Selling over 200,000 units a year in the US in recent years, it is one of the most popular, and one of the most complained about, Jeep models.

The original Jeep Grand Cherokee debuted in 1992. It underwent substantial redesigns in 1999, 2005 and 2011 and is currently on the US market with a reduced line-up of seven trims. It is available in four engine options, starting with a base level 3.6-liter V6, with 8-speed automatic transmission. The Trailhawk model features the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine as the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports numerous recalls and complaints pertaining to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. 2014-2015 models were the subject of a high-profile recall and investigation into vehicle rollaway when in park, resulting in complaints and reports of injury. The Grand Cherokee was included in a massive 2018 recall of 4.8 million FCA vehicles because of a cruise control defect that could cause the vehicles to speed up unexpectedly. The powerful Trackhawk model was recalled shortly after its 2018 debut due to defective separating fuel lines which could cause engine stalls and increase the risk of an engine compartment fire.
