Bye Vette, Hello Jeep!

I bought a 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited, two years ago, primarily as a winter vehicle. Although it has only 8000 miles on it, it's been trouble free, so far......but it has more "bells and whistles" than any vehicle ought to.
With mine, I bought the 'Maxcare' warranty. Basically, it's a lifetime warranty, for as long as I own the Jeep, and any repair has only a $100 deductible.
The Maxcare warranty is a brilliant idea, I'm sure if more manufacturers offered it, you'd see more sales, although I am curious how they do or don't lose money on the plans. I feel like a few small repairs and I'll have broken even.

But not as good as the '95 desert storm Hummer H1 I had.
That was unstoppable, even in 4-5 ft. of snow, and was my DD for 3 years. Aside from being slow off the line and heavy (6800 lbs.), it handled great, was very comfortable and could go anywhere. Got lots of stares and looks and compliments everywhere. The only negative thing was getting 7-8 mpg with the gas Chevy 454 engine and full time 4WD.

Hope yours is the exception to the rule but the list of TSB's on Jeeps over the last 10 years is staggering. My lead tech finally gave into his wife because she wanted one so bad (he is a GM guy) and its been one thing after another on a very low mileage Wrangler. Not the same I know but fingers crossed for you.

Yeah, I can see where that WOULD be a bit of a negative!! My GC has the 5.7 litre Hemi, and the full time 4WD. I average about 16 MPG (13-14 around town, 23-24 on the highway).
