From my experience (I'm on my third Grand Cherokee) they hold up well with age. Like any other vehicle, you may develop a rattle or squeak here or there, but in general the GC is a very durable vehicle. Having said that, since you purchased an Overland, you should be award that there are some issues peculiar to that trim level. I have had two Overlands and have never experienced any of these problems, but some owners have. First is the Quadra Lift air suspension. While problems are rare, if you have a problem it is really, really expensive to fix. Then there is the problem with leather dash coming unglued. This was fairly prevalent in early models, I don't know about the '18s and newer. Then I have read on this forum that the Uconnect infotainment system screen de-laminates. I don't know if this is exclusive to the Overland or occurs in other trim levels. Having said all this, if you plan to keep this vehicle for a long time, you should consider investing in a Mopar Maxcare extended warantee. With only 23K on the car you should be able to shop around and get a good price on one. It is universally agreed that this is the best warantee around. You can weigh your risk tolerance against the substantial cost of the warantee. Also, you can mitigate any potential problems with good maintenance. As for the interior, I recommend that you regularly apply a good quality leather treatment. It will keep the seats soft and supple and free from cracking. Good luck with your GC.

 

Great, thanks. How many miles does your 2018 Overland have, and how many miles did it have when first bought? How does it feel today vs. day 1 I'm curious? I notice a creak or two that come and go but otherwise, it's quite similar after 10k driving..

 

I put 119,000 on my 2014 Overland with no problems (except for transmission re-flash under warantee when very new). No other issues. I got the 18 with 27,000 on it now have 40k no issues. It's a daily driver, so in the next few years I'll be doing about 15K a year.

 

Ok, I got exactly the info I was after. Cheers!

 

GMQ, I can’t predict the future. One thing now, since you went past the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty, you’ll have an extra step to get an extended warranty. You’ll need to have a dealer “certify” your Overland, and if they find any problems, they will need to be fixed on your dime.
I bought an extended warranty for my Ram 2500 right before I went over my 36,000 miles ( in 9 months) and I had asked my Ram dealer about if I would wait. And they told me it could still be done after it was certified. Just saying.

 

Since you have an 18, if when the infotainment center de laminates, that cost alone will come close to the cost of the warranty. If it has air suspension and it takes a dump, you won't be complaining about it later. If you plan on keeping it for 100k miles or more, I recommend getting the Maxcare. And yes, get it before the 3/36 comes up or it will cost you more and has to be certified. Mine had to be since it's a 17 but had had low mileage.

 

Dash, Unconnect, QL, Radiator, Water Pump, Fuel Pumps, Rear Shocks, AC Lines, Lifters (if Hemi), Motor Mounts (if Hemi), etc. ... all, some, or none may fail prior to selling. If none fail you made the right call, if all fail, your out a very significant amount of money. Your risk tolerance. My Maxcare Service Agreement more than paid for itself. If I buy another and it has the Hemi, or QL, without question, I'll buy the Maxcare SA.

 

It's a roll of the dice up to a point. However, I've had more repairs, and expensive ones, on my 2014 than any other vehicle I've owned. In the 53K I've put on it, it's at 88K total, Maxcare has paid for $12K in repairs. It's in the shop now for $4400 of that. Last month it was in for $2200 worth. Radiator, suspension, air suspension, AC actuators, motor mounts, CV joints, suspension again, water pump, sway bar, seat belt, broken exhaust studs.
