2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Grand Cherokee.

Transmission Automatic 8-spd

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee pairs an 8-speed automatic transmission with EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg city, 26 highway, and 22 combined. Its 233 owner complaints and 15 recalls, concentrated in the electrical system and engine, place it far below the model’s 2014 peak of 2,369 complaints within the 1993–2026 history. This positions the 2024 model year as a significantly more reliable iteration, though the recurring electrical and engine issues still demand scrutiny.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee represents the third model year of the WL generation, and the federal record shows a meaningful improvement arc from the launch period. Complaints dropped to 233 in 2024, down from 358 in 2022 and 371 in 2023, while recalls fell from 20 in 2023 to 15—a clear downward trend that suggests early-generation bugs are being systematically addressed. NHTSA investigations dropped to zero, a notable decline from the two opened in 2022. TSBs (manufacturer service bulletins) also declined sharply to 518 from 801, indicating fewer technical service issues requiring attention. The top complaint areas—electrical system and engine related—account for 27 and 22 complaints respectively, with the data not specifying root cause, though the numbers are small relative to the overall complaint volume and declining year-over-year. With only 8 crash-related complaints and zero fire complaints, there are no active safety patterns evident in the federal record. The trajectory suggests 2024 sits at a favorable point in the generation lifecycle: past the launch instability of 2022, with resolution in progress. This makes it a relatively solid candidate among used examples, provided the specific unit has had any applicable recalls addressed.
