Common problems and easy repairs on a 2012 Grand Cherokee

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is an easy car to maintain. The engine air filter can be removed without the use of any tools, allowing for reliable filter changes when necessary. The transmission fluid dipstick is quick to remove and simple to read, allowing you to easily monitor its fluid levels. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together and can be quickly removed and set up, so fixing a flat shouldn’t be a problem.

However, the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has its downsides. The battery is located underneath the passenger seat and maneuvering it out will prove to be problematic. The entire air filter housing will need to be removed to access the headlights on the driver side, which is time-consuming and won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. The cabin air filter requires the removal of the glove box for access, which is a tedious and lengthy procedure.
