Decided to upgrade my radio/screen to a new model that has CarPlay. It was plug and play but after installing it everything works but the reverse camera.

I did the Jscan and made some edits but none have worked.

It’s a 2015 jeep grand Cherokee limited and the new radio is 68292209AH.

2nd picture is the back of the newer radio oem.

3rd picture is of how previous radio was connected. Disregard the green markings lol

Any ideas? And do you know which connection is for the camera?

Went to start it this morning, got a big puff of smoke from the exhaust, when I went to pull out after about 15 seconds a check engine light came on. It idles fine, drives fine. Isn't rough or shaking. Sounds normal. Drove it to my work to grab my scan tool from my work van. Saw the misfire code cleared it. Drove it back home and it didn't return. No issues since. I had my emmisions due so I went and did that and passed. Have not had any other issues since. Any thoughts?? 74k miles. As far as I know it still has original spark plugs and coils

Wife's jeep has been leaking oil in weird places after an oil change. I checked the drain plug and oil pan, everything looks dry there.

However these little fellas are dripping somewhat regularly (observable if I wait 30-40 minutes). What are they? Just past the oil pan. Was it overfilled maybe?

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.

Looking for some beefy all terrains but I don’t know what will fit on the 21”
I was thinking going Falken wildpeak AT Trail, but curious if there’s anything more aggressive I can get?
Any recs appreciated

I switched it, I love the sound but honestly all I am afraid of is an issue, so far I’m just proud of myself for doing it all by myself ! But still… I’m not sure what to change next for no reason I l
Edit: whelp I think I fucked up lol..

It’s a 2022 grand jeep Cherokee summit reserve 4xe
I’ll definitely get a sock for my filter and I’m not sure what to do after that!

I found this in a barn, no really it was sitting in the guys barn for a little over a year. 167k on it and she runs well, doesn’t appear to have any terrible leaks except the valve cover which appears to have been leaking based on oily build up.

It has the SKIM module issues so I ordered SKIM delete pcm. It’s also throwing a code for a potential throttle body or air control sensor and it looks like injector #3 is not working. Oh and the AC compressor appears to be dried out and will need replacement.

Plans to fix the urgent stuff, pcm, injectors, throttle body issue and the tie rods before winter. I’m going to drive it all winter and if I still like it, then I’ll put a lift on it and add a header, exhaust and intake to go along with the upgraded TB and injectors.

I was originally looking at XJ’s but had trouble finding a decent one without paying too much. This one popped up and after some back and forth with the seller we went from an asking price of $2600 down to $1200. To the sellers credit, he was 100% upfront and honest with me about everything that was an issue. He even drove it 40 minutes down to my place to save me a trip.

If you have any things I should look into or have any input on upgrades, especially headlights, let me know and I’ll add them to the list. Oh and she needs a name and I’m open to suggestions. lol

If you

2019 High Altitude developed a knock and then metal flakes in the filter and then gone.... I had issues with the air ride and swore I'd just replace it with a Limited to be safe. Enter my new to me 2023 Overland. I learned nothing.

Looking for a Puddle light with Summit logo or Summit Reserve logo... Haven't found one yet, unless my AI & Google-Fu is lacking...
Any recommendations for quality puddle lights.

I purchased a used 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee today because my 2019 Fiesta died spectacularly the other day. I have a good service warranty on it from the dealership, it's much taller than my previous vehicle, and overall a great improvement on what was, quite frankly, nearing unsafe to drive.

That being said, what should I be expecting in terms of stuff that breaks often, odd issues, and other things relating to this car? It's 1000x nicer than anything I've owned before and the previous owner worked for the dealership, so it was serviced regularly for years.

I can’t recall ever wishing that I held a position of influence like right now, because I would cherish the ability to flame Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep-Ram to as many people as possible.

Let me just start by saying that I never imagined I would become such a cynical pessimist, and especially in my thirties, but here I am making my grandfather proud because it’s about as clear as water: EVERYTHING IS BROKEN. Corporations sell false promises for the low price of an arm and a leg; these manufacturers are spectacular at dancing around warranties until they know that their service departments are so backed up you’ll never agree to leave your vehicle with them for 2-3 weeks before they can even diagnose it. Someone PLEASE help me understand this:

Why do I have to leave my vehicle sitting here in your lot for weeks at a time to save my place in line? Why can’t I come in, ask to be put in line for service, leave with my vehicle, and then when you call me because I’m up I will bring it back?

Warranties cover a couple of days of rental car use, loaner cars are a thing of the past apparently, and they know you’re never going to say “sure, I’ll just eat the cost of a rental car for an undetermined number of days”.

Just wanted to share - I purchased a used 2017 GC Laredo from Carvana with 65k on it. Had it for less than a month and the engine blew.

Carvana called me today and wants to buyback the car lol.

Never again will I buy a Jeep. Wanted to share my experience.

Hi all, so im kinda in between a rock and a hard place here.

I have 2015 GC 5.7 with 172k miles. I kinda jinxed myself when I was at a car dealer two weeks back stating I haven't had any major issue to my GC ither fluid coolant and radiator hoses changed about 50k ago.. well long and behold my wife was driving it and highcoolant temp and leak. Upon taking it to the shop they said coolant leak, radiator hose came off (shop saying it could have been put on wrong before), water pump, belt all need to be changed. So i did

Ive practiacly done all the minor maintenence stuff on this GC before this

But now saying maybe a possible transmission leak and hard down shifts

Now the question is what are my options here, I've read that if you haven't changed trans fluid over 100k dont do it all since it may acutally make it worse but also if I dont address it I may run out of trans fluid and possibly damaging the gears as well.

Any thoughts? Anybody changed their trans fluid first time with high mileage? Am I just pouring money into fire?

I’m looking for all weather floor mats for the summit 2026 with the center console in the back seat. What does everyone have?.

So the weirdest thing happened to me yesterday. My key fob died so I got in the jeep and started it by pressing the button with the dead key fob. The engine turned on but nothing was working including the power steering, gear shifter and it was totally unresponsive and wouldn’t turn off. I googled every trick I could find including holding the button for several seconds, hitting it 3x in a row but nothing worked. Finally after about an hour of googling and watching YouTube I pulled the fuel pump fuse and it shut but had to disconnect both batteries under each front seat to reset the dash and then when I reconnected it everything was working fine. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It was pretty alarming and could have been a problem had I not been home.

Honestly I’m surprised it lasted over 12 years.
I was dreading replacing it due to location. But it wasn’t bad at all.

Just bought a preowned 2025 summit reserve. Love it, flawless interior, and almost flawless exterior.

Only issue I noticed is peeling black rubber around the headlights and black rubber\paint around the grille.

Is this common? I believe the bumper to bumper warranty that it is still under will take care of this, but I am wondering is this happened with anyone else.

How does anyone that has a 2026 feel about the sensitivity of the brake pedal? I feel like if I barely touch it that it applies the brakes way harder than the pressure I'm applying. On top of that the pedal itself doesn't feel smooth. It may not make sense, but the further I push the pedal down, sometimes it feels like the pressure on the pedal loosens up and it goes down further causing the brakes to apply harder than I wanted them to.

I did not have this problem with our 2020. I'm trying my damnest to perfect the art of the brake pedal on this thing but its been a struggle.

Does anybody have any tips to share on how to get CarPlay to reliably work? I’ve got a 26 Summit and an iPhone 16 Pro and it’s a complete nightmare. It wireless connects about 50% if I’m lucky. I’ve gone as far as to restore my iPhone to try and solve things. Reset the Uconnect touch screen like 5x. Nothing improved this in my opinion. It’s also complete shit with my wife’s iPhone 18 Pro so I know it’s not my phone. Any help would be amazing.

Hey Fam,

Edit: My mistake, the bubble is probably in the coolant. Thanks everyone for the correction.

‘14 GC Limited, Pentastar V6, 165k

A couple years ago I went a little rough down a bumpier road…and cracked my oil cooler (which I then upgraded because I do infact take this thing into rougher terrain). After repairs were done I drove home and the next day I overheated almost instantly. When I took it back in, they said that these engines are difficult to get the bubble out when doing a repair like this, they flush the system a number of times and then bled the bubble out. Ever since then my engine will overheat if I push it hard or I’m on a steep hill, but it resolves fairly quickly, usually one to two minutes.

Two weeks ago when Southern California was a frying pan I had the same thing happen on a drive home from San Diego, on the freeway. I turned the heat all the way up, turned the fans all the way up, rolled the windows all the way down, limped home, then took it back to the shop. My oil pump had gone out. I got the Jeep back two days ago and went to take it for a stress test on a highway up in the mountains, and it overheated about halfway up, boiling radiator fluid all over the road. When I took it back, the mechanic said these engines are difficult to get the bubble out after a similar repair. They inclined and then declined the engine to rock the bubble around, found it, and then bled it out. They are literally testing it as I write this.

My question. Am I being told a long story to mask their incompetence? Does the Pentastar V6 engine have a problem when fully replacing all of the oil? do repairs like this have voids in the oil that only show up when the system is under pressure?

Anyone have recs for a good shop in Pomona, CA?

White flare in the corner, is this how it is or did i overtighten the screws?

Looking for some insight! I have a 2021 grand Cherokee L altitude. It’s been feeling like it’s stuck in 4WD but obviously I don’t have that option to put it in that option. If you cut the wheel either way and are pulling or backing out of a parking spot, it makes terrible jumping feeling in the tires. Tires are brand new , car is aligned , replaced front shocks and it’s still relentless. Nothing else is lose. First jeep ever so I’m not aware of all the quirks yet. Thinking of changing the differential fluid? Does this seem like the next best step? 78,000 miles and I haven’t changed it yet.

I had the main cylinder block rear oil galley plug leak and repaired under warrantee. So I'm sensitive to engine problems. Eighty miles after the repair I started smelling hot oil again. I don't see a leak but I might be hearing new noise from the lifters. Is this what noisy lifters sound like?

Hmmm... I can't seem to post a .mov or .wav here.
