Recall Notice: 296,550 Jeeps & Dodges

If there’s anyone you can count on to make a 190k Honda recall not look so bad, it’s Chrysler. Letters will shortly be on their way to the unfortunate owners of nearly 300,000 2006 & 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Commanders, 2007 Jeep Wranglers, and 2007 Dodge Nitros. What’s all the fuss about? [...]

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Preview

Jeep has had the Grand Cherokee in it’s lineup for a decade and a half now, and it’s been pretty much the same vehicle. It was great offroad SUV, but just awful on-road. The road has traditionally been harsh, and there is so much body roll that turns aren’t really possible over 5 [...]

2008 Jeep Liberty

I’m not exactly sure where the Liberty fits into Jeep’s new lineup. After all, there isn’t really much space between the Compass and Patriot, is there? There’s also the Dodge Nitro in the same family, which shares a platform with the new Liberty.
For some reason, Jeep is convinced that there is room, and [...]

2007 Jeep Patriot Review

Jeep Commander getting the Boot

Someone at Daimler-Chrysler got the message that the Commander sucks! The word on the street ( and when I say street I mean internet, in case you didn’t know ) is that the Commander is getting the boot after 2009. So we only have to suffer through 2 and a half more years [...]

2007 Jeep Compass Review

The 2007 Jeep Compass is the most controversial Jeep product that I can ever recall. Why? Well, for starters, it’s built on a unibody “car” platform, and not a traditional body on frame design, as is standard fare for all other Jeeps. What’s more, this Jeep isn’t ‘trail rated’ - which [...]

2007 Jeep Wrangler Review

The Jeep Wrangler is one of those special few vehicles that doesn’t really need to change very much with time. There are no major redesigns or overhauls; the Jeep Wrangler will always look and perform pretty much the same as it always has.
That being said, the Wrangler was redesigned for 2007, though it [...]
