Common Problems with the
2021–2023 Jeep Cherokee (KL)

The 2021–2023 Jeep Cherokee (KL) has an excellent reliability record with no widely reported common faults for this model year period.

Buying Tips for the 2021 Jeep Cherokee (KL)

  • The 9-speed automatic gearbox is the biggest concern; test it thoroughly for hesitant shifts, clunking, or holding gears too long.
  • Check the operation of the 4WD system, particularly on Trailhawk models, to ensure the rear axle engages when required.
  • Listen for knocking from the front suspension, as the heavy diesel engine accelerates wear on bushes and top mounts.
  • Inspect the infotainment system (Uconnect); early versions are prone to freezing and dropping Bluetooth connections.
  • Verify the service history for the Multijet diesel; missed oil changes can quickly lead to turbo or DPF failure.
  • Check for dampness in the front footwells, which can indicate blocked sunroof drains or a failing heater matrix.
