📖Generation guide
WK2 1st Cohort • 2014-2016
These early models feature the VM Motori engine producing 240hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. They are included in the Stellantis emissions class-action settlement, offering unique donor opportunities for affected owners.
WK2 2nd Cohort • 2017-2019
Post-settlement, these models have an improved DEF system, leading to fewer warranty claims. They represent a reliable choice for donation, especially if well-maintained.
WK2 Final Cohort • 2020-2021
Last of the EcoDiesels sold in the U.S. market, these models are rare and valuable. Their unique specifications make them sought after, especially in good condition.
Known issues by generation
Each generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel has its share of known issues. The 2014-2016 models are particularly known for crankshaft-position-sensor failures and EGR cooler cracking, which can lead to significant repair bills. In the 2017-2019 cohort, DEF system improvements reduced the frequency of issues tied to AdBlue heaters and level sensors. The 2020-2021 models, while generally reliable, can still experience DPF regeneration issues that are common in diesel vehicles, especially for those frequently used for short trips. It's critical to disclose any related maintenance history when considering a donation.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of donating your Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel can fluctuate based on trim level and condition. Limited and Overland models tend to fetch a higher appraisal, especially following the emissions settlement that has made low-mile survivors more desirable. A clean Grand Cherokee with a well-maintained AdBlue system and documented DPF regeneration history can command a premium on the donation market, particularly as these models become increasingly rare.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel is straightforward. We use a heavy-duty flatbed for transport, especially for vehicles with higher GVWR. It’s vital to provide details regarding the AdBlue/DEF tank condition, DPF regeneration history, and any Dieselgate settlement status. If your vehicle has a history of biodiesel conversion, please disclose this as well, as it can affect the donation processing. Adhering to diesel-fuel-only fueling discipline is essential to avoid costly repairs.
Tulsa regional notes
In Tulsa, the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel's 50-state emissions certification is a crucial aspect for potential donors. The demand for AWD vehicles in snow-prone areas complements the model's towing capacity, making it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts. Local dealers can provide necessary AdBlue service, which is vital to keeping your EcoDiesel in excellent running condition and compliant with state regulations.
