This year model Jeep has a few problems which seem to be the result of bad designing. The first problem is brakes. They simply are not large enough to really stop this big vehicle as quickly as a smaller car. You may be saying to yourself, "well its a heavier vehicle." That would be true except when I say you have to land on these brakes to stop it, its no joke. Most people I know who drive a smaller car that have driven my jeep say they can't stop it because they aren't used to pushing the brake pedal down so hard. The air conditioning system is the next big issue, There have been recalls over this item. The air conditioning system doesn't have a reliable way to prevent the water that drains from it from running back inside the passenger side floorboard, effectively soaking the carpet and wiring underneath. The drain tends to get clogged up and the drain goes through the interior section of the firewall but not all the way through and so it drains through the frame. When that part of the frame gets clogged, all the water runs back inside the vehicle through a non existent seal around the drain to the firewall. So when the water can't run out through the frame, it comes back into the interior soaking the carpet and your feet. I have had standing water inside my vehicle because it had so much water coming back in. I had to modify this system so that water couldn't come back in through the firewall. All that originally was supposed to seal the drain to the firewall was a round piece of foam. Foam doesn't stop water.

I really do not have any complaints about my Jeep Grand Cherokee; I love it.
