Multiple complaints about the nine-speed automatic transmission, peaking around the spring of 2015. Not reflected in the stats because in many cases there has been no hardware-based solution.

Related Grand Cherokee has many problems related to the new Uconnect interface. None reported for the Durango, though, perhaps because it went into production later.

Ok so Jeep and Fiat obviously do not have the best brand image when it comes to quality. This perception should not be applied to this vehicle. Nothing to me comes across as cheap or low quality. Just remember that you will be dealing with Jeep service department. I haven't heard the best about Jeep service, but every brand has good and bad dealerships. Just do your research before you get it serviced.
