Well Maintained & Slightly Lifted 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Awd With V6 Power on 2040-cars
Colonial Heights, Virginia, United States
Well maintained 2005 4WD Jeep Grand Cherokee with 96K miles and many options. PS, PB, PW, CC, Tilt Steering, A/C, Leather seats, power sun roof, computer info system, JVC sound system, AM, FM, CD with amplifier under the cargo area, a stubby antenna and several USB outlets in the cabin. The engine is a 3.7 Liter V6 with an economy re-programmer and a K&N air filter. Fuel mileage varies between 16 and 18 mpg. As you can see, it has a slight lift to accommodate Jeep Rubicon wheels and Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/T tires with roughly 70% tread. It also has a factory tow hitch with wiring and a brake controller installed. This is a really good utility vehicle and everything works as it should. Rides like a Jeep. I have the owners manual and three keys. I don't drive it much but I like being in it.
Looks great for a nine year old vehicle. The paint is decent and it has the usual blemishes and dings from normal wear, but no dents.The only item that is noteworthy is the drivers side front fender. Under certain lighting, it appears that the paint is 1/2 shade different than the rest of the vehicle. The photos don't capture it. I have not done any paint work, nor is there any evidence of paint work having been done in the past. I maybe making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I intend to be straight. I have replaced both front fender liners, which is not unusual on this generation Jeep. I always use Rain-x cleaner and just replaced the wiper blades. Recently added a cargo cover and have always paid particular attention to all maintenance items. My English Setter is very fond of this Jeep, but I am old and beginning to have difficulty getting in and out of this thing. The lift in conjunction with the low pillar height is a tough combination for very senior backs. Good luck and please call with any questions and/or come drive it, if practical. Phil 804-895-1936 |

Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
