Known issues by generation
Each modern American muscle vehicle comes with its share of known issues, particularly as they age and accrue miles. For the WK2-platform Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, key concerns include potential pre-failure of the supercharger snout bearing and MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter failures. These mechanical aspects are critical to address, as they can impact performance and reliability. The 8HP70 transmission, while robust, may show signs of wear in high-mileage models, so regular maintenance and clear documentation of service history are essential for prospective buyers. Properly attending to these issues ensures that the legacy of your Trackhawk remains intact for years to come.
