I have had the, new to me, 2015 jeep grand cherokee for about a month. I notice quite significant rolling backwards when at a incline stop in drive when I take my foot off the brake. Is this normal?

Yes it’s normal unless you have hill assist on.

normal do you have the V6 or V8.

Normal, check settings as mentioned to see if Hill Start Assist is enabled. Also with HSA note it takes applying full pressure to the brake pedal at a stop to engage it (pressing down after stopped). A light foot as you might on a hill will behave normally, rolling back as any vehicle would even with it enabled. A hard press and you will feel the pedal hold the brakes for a second or two until the accelerator is pressed, or until the couple seconds are up and start rolling back as normal. It's pretty easy to get used to and rely on without having to "jump" to the accelerator on a hill, or roll back normally as you might want.

Im glad someone else has this issue because its something that has been worrying me with my cherokee. Its rolls rite back down hill quickly...i thought something was wrong with my transmission

I’m reasonably confident your owners manual tells you NOT to told the car on a hill on the trans only but to use the foot brake

What you are experiencing is normal
