2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Transmission Q&A

  • How much can my Jeep tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Grand Cherokee towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Jeep, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jeep Grand Cherokee? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jeep Grand Cherokee, potentially causing transmission problems.
