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 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee recorded 371 complaints, 20 recalls, 1 investigation and 801 technical service bulletins, which are all lower than the peak years seen earlier in the generation (e.g., 2014 had 2,369 complaints and 19 recalls, while 2021 logged 1,303 TSBs). Compared with the immediate preceding and following years, complaints rose slightly from 358 in 2022 to 371 in 2023 then fell to 233 in 2024, recalls decreased from 23 in 2022 to 20 in 2023 and further to 15 in 2024, and investigations dropped from 2 in 2022 to 1 in 2023 before reaching zero in 2024. The trend across the generation shows a sharp decline in complaints and investigations after the high‑activity period around 2011‑2014, with a modest rebound in recalls during 2021‑2022 followed by a downward move through 2023‑2024. In 2023 the most frequently cited complaint areas were Electrical System (52), Suspension (35), Unknown Or Other (28) and combined Electrical System/Engine (17), though the data does not specify underlying causes. Overall, the 2023 model sits in a phase of relatively low complaint volume and moderate recall activity, suggesting it is a reasonable choice for a used purchase.
