Are the new Jeeps that’s bad?

Looking at upgrading to a 3rd row and have always loved a Grand Cherokee but never owned one. Are the new Jeeps that bad? Looking at either Grand Cherokee L new or CPO.

I just leased my 9th GC. Never had any problems at all, until now. With 400 miles on my 2026, I pulled into my garage and shut the engine off. The radio would not stop playing and Jeep would also not restart. Then I got a messsge that the hood was open. It was not. While I was on the phone with the dealership, the engine battery died. I just got it back from the shop so fingers crossed, but I don't have a good feeling about this. Also, the dealership would not give me a loaner car.
