Driving a sport/utility vehicle on the track was once about as much fun as playing beach volleyball in loafers. No more. After taking the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 around California's Willow Springs Raceway, we can visualize a showroom-stock race series built on this remarkable new SUV.Not only was Jeep's ueber-ute an absolute hoot ripping off laps at Willow, it also scorched most of the competition in the sprints, muscling its way in between Mercedes-Benz's mighty ML55 AMG and Porsche's Cayenne Turbo as one of the quickest sport/utilities we've ever tested. The Grandest of Cherokees recorded a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.8 seconds compared with the Porsche's 5.1, and the Jeep didn't let up, beating the turbo Cayenne to 100 and in the quarter mile, 13.5 seconds at 101.6 mph versus 13.6 at 101.8. It also beat the Cayenne in the slalom and recorded higher lateral gs on the skidpad. Admittedly, the 4800-pound Jeep has a slight weight advantage on the 5000-pound Porsche, but if it works for Lotus, why not for a family car? The Jeep SRT8 is the 11th of the hyperkinetic kids fostered for the Chrysler Group since the Street and Race Technology development center was created in 2002. It's also the first sport/ute and the first Jeep to benefit from SRT's extreme-performance makeover, which begins with massive engine power, here a larger-bore version of the Grand Cherokee's 5.7-liter Hemi (which delivers only 330 horsepower). The 6.1-liter then was extensively tweaked to produce its 420 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, delivered to all four wheels through a special torque converter to an SRT-upgraded five-speed automatic gearbox and then on to the front and rear differentials through a specially designed transfer case. The result is smooth, linear, and thrilling doses of power, accompanied by a soundtrack that only a large-displacement V-8 engine in full tune can compose. SRT methodology insists on track-capable suspension and commanding brakes. As well as its usual tuning to shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings, SRT lowered the ride height an inch, recalibrated the Electronic Stability Program, and fit high-performance 20-inch Goodyear radials on lightweight forged alloys, staggered in size to exploit the rear-biased powertrain. Four-piston Brembo brakes with big, vented rotors provide excellent clamping force at each corner.The superbly balanced chassis, giant contact patches, and aggressively tuned ABS and ESP electronics make willing dance partners to a heavy right foot. For a vehicle so tall, it feels entirely stable in the bends, and the adept driver can use the brakes and throttle as well as the steering in finding the quickest way through the corners. On the way home from the track? Sink back into the comfortable, well-bolstered seats and relax. The SRT8 also is a quiet, compliant cruiser.The Jeep SRT8 may be a utilitarian supercar, but it's not a perfect supercar. The steering felt a bit darty, and the transmission sometimes ignored our request for a downshift. No matter: Perhaps the most astonishing element of the Grand Cherokee's extreme makeover is its $39,995 price. When did supercars, boxy or not, AWD or whatever, become so affordable?

NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."

Jeep Wrangler likely to get aluminum body, will stay in Toledo

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Perhaps more than any other vehicle currently for sale in the United States, the Jeep Wrangler is viewed by purist fans as a vehicle that simply must maintain the status quo. In this case, that means a body-on-frame design, solid axles, a relatively large engine sitting up front and a removable top. It's always been that way, and it always will be.
Maybe.
According to the most recent reports, the next-generation Jeep will continue to soldier forth with a full steel chassis underneath its stamped bodywork. The biggest change, reports Automotive News, will be that said panels will be hewn from aluminum instead of steel, a seismic shift of a transition not unlike what's happened with the new Ford F-150. Because it won't be a unibody, the SUV will likely continue to be assembled in Toledo, OH as it (almost) always has been - the latter has been a source of heartburn in recent weeks for the Northwestern city in the Buckeye State.

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
