2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

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

Transmission Automatic 8-spd

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L pairs an eight-speed automatic transmission with EPA ratings of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, defining it as a practical SUV entry in Jeep's lineup. Reliability figures for the model year show 35 owner complaints concentrated in the electrical system and engine, accompanied by seven recalls — a meaningful but substantially reduced total compared to the 211 complaints recorded at the line's 2022 peak. Within the 20212026 complaint arc, the 2024 model year emerges as a comparatively calm middle chapter, though the persistence of electrical and engine issues as the dominant grievance category remains a clear watchpoint for long-term dependability.

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 model shows a sharp decline in consumer complaints, falling to 35 from a peak of 211 in 2022 and continuing the downward trend seen through 2023’s 68 complaints. Recall activity remains modest but slightly elevated relative to the low‑complaint year, with seven recalls in 2024—more than 2023’s five but far below the 14 recalls recorded in 2022. Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) rose again to 362 after a dip to 308 in 2023, indicating ongoing but manageable service issues, while investigations dropped to zero, matching the clean record of 2025 and 2026. The top complaint areas in 2024 focus on electrical and engine systems (6 and 5 reports) and a few air‑bag concerns, but there were no fire complaints and only three crash‑related reports. Overall, the data suggest that 2024 is positioned in a recovery arc after the 2022 spike, with fewer complaints and no safety investigations, making it a comparatively safe year to consider for a used purchase.
