of Tampabay regarding a 2026 Jeep Cherokee purchased by my wife in May 2026.
My wife was very excited to become a Jeep owner. Not anymore.
Since the purchase, the vehicle has required service on four separate occasions, totaling 20 days in the service department. Despite these visits, the persistent engine noise issue remains unresolved.
The vehicle was brought in for a fifth visit, but her concerns were dismissed by the service management team. It continues to produce irregular engine noice upon remote starting.
The engine has been disassembled twice—once at approximately 960 miles and again at +/- 3,000 miles. Not a good sign. Despite this, the engine continues to produce noticeable noise, which we have documented on multiple videos. This issue has been raised during each service visit, but we do not feel it has been adequately addressed.
During this process, we have worked with dealership staff including Adam Clarke in Sales and James Coyle in Service. While both were initially involved, we have since had difficulty reaching Mr. Clarke after he stated that his involvement ended with the sale.
We have also found multiple reports online from other Jeep Cherokee owners describing similar engine related concerns.
We also encourage prospective buyers to thoroughly research their purchase, keep detailed service records, and carefully review post-sale support policies

Thank you for providing this feedback, Duane, and we apologize for not providing you with an exceptional experience. We never like seeing that we didn't meet the standards customers have come to expect, but reviews like this help us improve. If you don't mind reaching out to us so that we can speak directly, we'd love to address your concerns in detail.

If the issues we experienced were truly concerning to management, I would have expected someone from management to contact us directly regarding our experience with the sales manager and service department. Unfortunately, that did not happen. We made every effort to address our concerns through the appropriate channels, but our concerns were not handled to our satisfaction.
At this point, legal representation has been procured to assist us in advancing our concerns regarding the vehicle.
We are simply sharing our experience so other customers can make an informed decision. If management genuinely wants to address these concerns, they have had—and still have—the opportunity to contact us directly.

I got really xxxxed over with the recall and got such a xxxx trade in value. Tesla and Carvana were offering much more and they could not match it. I still have not received my title and I still have not received my check for the refund of the unused extended warranty. I left simple instructions to hold the check and title at the dealership and its been several months my wife or I have not got any communications that we can come pick it up. The cars I had were pretty good and we liked them but getting any service because its hybrid was so complex to get any work done and it always took a long time. It is time for us to move to another company.
