What to expect from Jeep’s second-to-last model year and how to stay protected after the warranty ends
The 2023 Jeep Cherokee was produced in limited numbers with just two trims: Altitude Lux and Trailhawk. While the lineup was thinner, it still offered Jeep’s signature 4x4 capability and a surprisingly upscale interior. But how reliable is the 2023 Cherokee, and what happens after 60,000 miles?
Let’s walk through the warranty coverage, known issues, and how to protect your Cherokee for the long haul.

2023 Jeep Cherokee Reliability Snapshot
Since fewer units were built, the volume of owner feedback is smaller. But based on real-world reports and the Cherokee’s platform history, here’s what’s showing up.
Known Issues
- Uconnect system freezes and touch lag
- Faulty tire pressure sensors needing early replacement
- Lane keep assist disengaging without warning
- Oil consumption in turbocharged engines (in isolated cases)
- Front suspension noise over rough roads
- Seat heater malfunctions or fuse failures
- Backup camera flickering or dropping feed
While the Cherokee’s drivetrain is generally stable, tech and electronic accessories are the common pain points.
Who Should Consider an Extended Plan?
Because the 2023 Cherokee only came in well-equipped trims, extended protection can offset the cost of future repairs to comfort and safety systems.
Best fit for extended coverage:
- Daily drivers who hit 60,000 miles quickly
- Trailhawk owners who use off-road features
- Anyone keeping their Cherokee for 5+ years
- Drivers who want peace of mind on cross-country trips
