Looking at factory protection, common issues, and whether it’s worth adding extended coverage
The 2022 Jeep Cherokee marked one of the last full years of production for this compact SUV before the lineup started to phase out. With trims like the Trailhawk and Limited offering solid tech and 4x4 capability, it remained a go-to choice for drivers wanting a midsize utility vehicle that didn’t feel bland. But how has it held up long term?
We’ll break down the 2022 Cherokee’s warranty coverage, common complaints, and why extended protection may be the smartest investment for higher-mileage owners.

2022 Jeep Cherokee Reliability Snapshot
Mechanically, the Cherokee remained fairly strong in 2022, particularly with the available V6 engine. But complaints tied to electronics, infotainment, and climate control systems have persisted.
Known Issues
- Intermittent Uconnect crashes and slow screen response
- HVAC system inconsistencies, especially with dual-zone setups
- Faulty blind spot monitors giving false alerts
- Excessive battery drain traced to body control modules
- Transmission hesitation in colder temps
- Water leaks around the sunroof and upper door seals
- Backup camera flickering or delayed activation
While not all owners report these problems, they’ve shown up consistently enough to be worth watching—especially as factory coverage ends.
Who Should Consider an Extended Plan?
Drivers planning to keep their 2022 Cherokee beyond 60,000 miles or who rely heavily on tech features should seriously consider a Mopar extended plan.
Ideal candidates for extended coverage include:
- Drivers logging 15,000+ miles per year
- Trailhawk or Limited trim owners with more onboard features
- Owners in colder regions where electronics tend to wear faster
- Anyone keeping the vehicle longer than four years
