2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee — 6.4L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Grand Cherokee 6.4L.

Body SUVEngine 6.4LTransmission Automatic 8-spd

Built on the WK platform, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a 6.4L SUV that routes power through an 8-speed automatic transmission to deliver an EPA-rated 19/26/21 mpg, all while requiring a specific 7.0 quarts of 0W-40 engine oil. Although it carries 7 recalls and 356 owner complaints primarily focused on hydraulic service brakes, this model year sits well below the model's historical trouble spot of 2014, which amassed 2,369 complaints. Consequently, within the Grand Cherokee's 1993-2026 lineage, the 2019 iteration represents a significantly more stable choice for researchers tracking long-term reliability trends.

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 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee sits in the later, more settled phase of the WK2 generation, following a clear peak in complaints and recalls around 2014–2015. Compared to the 2,369 complaints and 19 recalls of 2014, the 2019 model shows just 356 complaints and 7 recalls—a dramatic improvement that aligns with a broader downward trend through 2016–2020. However, its 510 technical service bulletins (TSBs) are notably higher than the 442 of 2018 and the 350 of 2017, suggesting that while owner-reported issues are low, the manufacturer has identified and documented a large number of potential fixes. The top complaint area is service brakes (45 reports), and the model logged 17 crash-related complaints and 3 fire complaints, which are moderate but worth noting. Overall, the 2019 represents a relatively stable, low-complaint year within the generation, making it a reasonable buy—provided you review the brake-related TSBs and service history.
