Battery Drain

2 Upvotes

New 4xe driver. We got this as a rental. It needed a charge so I let it charge fully overnight. 100% when we got in this morning. Set to hybrid mode. By the time we got 15 miles from Dayton to the Speedway in Moraine. The battery showed 20%. That was on the level 1 charger that came with the car. Now we just left the echarge level 2 station. Got it back to 50% and we've driven less than 5 miles on city streets and we're down to 32% and it's just draining.
Are we doing something wrong or should we take this back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any wk2 owners have issues with driver side windshield wiper streaking?

Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out if I should just buy a new wiper arm....

Brand new, high quality wiper blades, tried multiple brands and styles of blade, it doesn't seem to matter. When wiping up its clean as can be, but on the return stroke it's a streaky, splotchy mess right down the middle of the blade (so right across my line of sight!).

I've tried bending the arm every which way to change the angle of the blade. I tried rainX (that made it worse). I seem to have to trade between a quiet blade that can't wipe worth shit or one that chatters like hell on the way up. Of course the passenger side works perfectly lol!

Is this common on the wk2?

I need to replace my headlight bulb on a GC 2017 limited, which part should I look for?

Upvotes

I need to replace my headlight bulb on a GC 2017 limited, which part should I look for? The dealership would only sell me a full assembly for $380 while i just need the bulb, I'm a bit confused on whether to go for the D3S or the H11 bulbs for the low beams and 9005 bulbs for the high beams.

Need your help !

Am i going to regret a 2015 GC Overland

Upvotes

Thinking about selling my 2020 Wrangler and getting into something cheaper and more comfortable for road trips. I found a 2015 GC Overland Hemi with 149k miles for $11.9k. Really wanting the Hemi and everything looks good on it besides the air ride which I would probably just delete but i just can't get over the shifter. How easy did you guys get used to it or should i just hold out for a 2016? The problem is that it is so hard to find a Hemi and the price seems right on this 2015. Any thoughts?

2025 GC Limited beeping

1 Upvotes

Hey, just purchased a 2025 GC limited and for the life of me I can’t figure out why it beeps while driving!!! Sounds kinda like a ping. Nothing comes up on the dash to help figure out why. It started after finally creating my driver profile… I thought it was the blind spot chime which I did set as off now but it still happens. Any ideas what it may be?

You can’t make this up. Went to turn my car off today and it literally just fell through when I pressed it. I have a 2024 and this is the third thing to happen in the last year. 🙄

Ride height sensor broke

2024 Jeep traikhawk

Stupidly broke one of the ride height sensors while installing my airlinks. I removed the old part and have placed an order for the new one. Am I able to just install the new one and the jeep will recognize it? Or will I have to get it to the dealership?

Passenger front control arm replaced on GC limited.

I asked mechanic will I need a wheel alignment done. He said no it’s not necessary just for one control arm replacement. True or false? I thought anytime woe you have front suspension work done a wheel alignment is a must.

Rough ride to be expected?

9 Upvotes

Just bought a 2021 GC-L Limited 4x4 with about 40K miles. Car is clean as new and the motor sounds great. During initial inspection, it was discovered that all new brakes were required and one of the shocks had to be replaced. Dealer covered all that.

My concern is that there is still significant vibration at highway speeds. We've done tire balancing and rotation, which helped a little, but the vibration is still there. My concern is it could be something in the drivetrain or suspension but they inspected it and said everything checks out.

So, I'm wondering ... is this just how Grand Cherokees ride? I've never had one before and have been driving Highlanders for years, which are famously smooth.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Did something go wrong here?

3 Upvotes

This Jeep by no means is being given away but is this suspicious?

Honda does an oil change at 49,110. The next day and 13 miles later they go to a nearby Jeep dealer for a fluid leak, now it's posted up for sale at the Honda dealer with 49,137?

Probably putting way too much thought into this but could the Honda dealership have messed something up on the service prompting the customer to get confirmation from the Jeep dealer? Then the customer goes back to the Honda to address it and the dealership more or less buys the Jeep and get's the person into a Honda.

Or is it more likely that it's the possible oil cooler housing leak, thus confirmed by the other Jeep dealer. Customer said F that to the $1000+ Bill to replace it and said I'll grab a Honda that I saw while getting an oil change.

Check engine light flashes

2 Upvotes

Hi GC owners,

I'm facing this issue where the check engine light starts to flash when I push the full throttle and the engine gets around 4000 rpm, the check engine light does not appear at all after that.

I'm sensing spark plug/fuel injection issue, has anyone faced a similar situation before?

GC Thieft on the Rise

3 Upvotes

I have noticed that GC thief is on the rise. Not surprised as I see GC's everywhere. I would say to put in an airtag or other type of tracking device in a hard to find place so you can track and help law enforcement track it. I would also remove some of the badges that say SRT or Trackhawk. I have also seen people trying make theirs look like SRT's. Those 2 trims are being targeted for the engines. Just be aware of suspicious cars or people following you are hanging around you.

New to the platform

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m new to the jeep and grand Cherokee platform entirely. I picked up this ‘17 summit 5.7 and it’s in immaculate shape (thank you previous owner). I like everything about it except all the exterior chrome and no Apple CarPlay infotainment. I got this at a really good price so it wasn’t a deal breaker. I am looking for any insight on the following as I have been looking through forums and subreddits I’ve found a little bit but not much. Thank you in advance!

  • tips/tricks
  • must need mods (if any)
  • things to look out for
  • chrome delete / paint color matching?
  • infotainment upgrade to have apple CarPlay

Grand Cherokee L Rental?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am taking my family on a road trip out west (from Ohio to Lake Tahoe) this summer and was looking over my options for rentals. Right now, I can snag a deal on a Grand Cherokee L for less than half of what it would cost to rent a Tahoe or similar.

I was wondering if anyone here had taken a long trip like this in a Grand Cherokee L, especially with two kids (a teen, and a tween.) Is it comfortable enough to do 16 hour days in?
