This vehicle has been very reliable and drives down the road nicely. We have had several issues with the blower motor, which I believe are factory defects. We have also had issues with the right turn signal, which I understand is also a factory defect. Another issue I am now having is the heater blend is not working. The driver's side blows warm, but the passenger side blows cold. I wish the issues with the turn signals and heater were repairable for a low cost, but I understand both fixes are very expensive.

The 2005 Jeep is nice because it is a larger vehicle, but not so large that it becomes difficult to handle. We have put over 200,000 miles on it, and it has only required basic maintenance. I like that it is 4 wheel drive and I feel safe even when the roads are bad. It is nice that I can fit all three children in the back seat, although it is a tight fight with two car seats and a booster. Overall, it has been dependable. It has a nice design and set up. Inside, the dash allows you to see the outside temperature. It gives messages to let you know if doors were left open. I also like that it has automatic headlights, so you do not have to remember to turn them on and off.
