1. Change the distance for the Forward collision setting. Either far or near.
2. Go to settings and change the blind spot to just lights. It's set on Lights+Chime from the factory.
It broke my heart when I saw Uber 😭🥺
Y
Cops harass you less
Man, life is tough!
🤣🤣🤣
How does he get by? Sleepless nights worrying about that blinking triangle on his side view mirror I’m sure.
“Wind noise” lmfaoooooo life gotta be tough 💀
I know y’all are joking for the most part but these are legitimate gripes when paying that much on a car note, especially if I’m comparing this to a BMW x5m,
@@Product0fGa #1 It’s not meant to be compared to be a BMW x5 Theyre completely different cars for completely different markets. #2 this guy literally complained about a blind spot warning triangle saying it’d redundant when it’s point is to warn you about someone in your blind spot And an actual criticism he had for this was paint wear on the break calipers!! FOH
No one:
Me: waiting for him to mention the carbon fiber trim🤔
for keyless entry, grab handle and it unlocks. to lock just press the black button without gripping the handle. not that much of a pain
chango_otf 😂😂😂
@@chango_otf2712 takes one to know one lol. changed the settings in Uconnect. sorry if i hurt your feelers bro
My nissan has the lock button but not keylsss entry. I always put my hand like he does and use my thumb
Tbh. The keyless entry issue, is just you nit picking. I have an SRT8, never have I ever felt that being an annoyance. As to rear doors, change the settings from uconnect to unlock all doors. And the lag on the uconnect, just updated the software!! Smh
Those damn thumbs we are stuck with... stupid smart handles... ugh... lol
The reason the back door didn't open is because YOUR SUPPOSE TO DOUBLE PRESS THE FRONT HANDLE BUTTON, READ THE MANUAL BRO.
I changed the setting in Uconnect. thanks for the view and comment bro.
You can actually have it unlock all of your doors with one touch.
success chaser lol good one. And west coast SRT is correct also ..peace
Lol. That lock thing is totally on you. Never once in 120k miles has that happened to me.
You have 120k on a srt? How have the maintenance been?
@@Sylique This comment... I had to check your channel out to see if this was a "serious" comment or.... I decided it was from the "or" column, lol.
@@anymanusa I’m confused what does my channel have to do with anything….
@@Sylique it very quickly allowed me to understand why you would make a comment like that. Really? You think that the srt GC in question has unique door handles? Do you not understand that Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge/Ram and even other cars share the exact same door handle? Did you not know this? Or are you trolling? My guess is that you definitely are trolling.
@@anymanusa tf are talking about…. I don’t own nothing by fca but In the market for a srt jeep… talk about maintenance 😂 my s7 seen worse days I’m sure
I stopped watching when you called a srt8 jeep a truck...smh
trUck lyfe
Yeah what a whiny baby
pathetic
It's also not called an SRT8 anymore. Just SRT.
Snowflake
that lock and unlock is your problem... its normal on alot of vehicles..
LOL... if thats all you have to complain about the jeep is a beast and im getting one. I have a X5 right now and all i ever have with it is electrical problems.
i recommend it
Same here. I do like my x5 but it was in shop a lot at first, cool now. My set comes in soon. Great taste in cars bro, GL.
I hope you switched already. I had a 2012 X5 and the engine failed after 2 yrs of strict maintenance and thousands of dollars on other little annoyances.
one thing i HATE about this video!!! Everything!!!
Rick Evans he whined lot for a long time. First world problems, bro.
Yeah this video sucks, complaining all the actual features.
agree about the shifter, that's why i passed on a 14 and bought a 16, shifter is so much better to use. the other thing I hate is the Pirelli's, they are the loudest tires I ever owned, the first test drive I thought there was something wrong with the truck!! Replacing those soon. I also love this truck, very cool exhaust note and 470hp to boot!
What about the engine, trans, t-case, diffs? That's the real $$$ issues.
What about module updates to fix these problems?
I bet your the type of person who still refers to the WWE as the WWF. It hasn't been called a SRT8 for 5 years.
You do realize these vehicles aren’t referred to as “SRT8’s” anymore right?
But the 2013 is
This guy driving Uber in SRT 😂😂
Thanks for another informative video
you're welcome!
No disrespect, but I don't think you fully understand the features of your vehicle. BSM and collision-alert can be switched off and/or adjusted.
There is a UConnect 3C software update that is available to speed up the SRT Pages(my Hellcat UC is far faster)
The clearcoat coming off indicates someone used a harsh cleaner on the wheels, judging by where the peeling pattern on the wheels. Seen it a million times.
Your deflector needs to be adjusted on your sunroof.
Wouldn't you have notice your dislike for the shifter prior to purchase?🤔 The 2016-current has a traditional shifter.
And your door locking scenario was hilarious. You penalize the vehicle for having the best unlocking sequence? Wow.
Hey man I saw you comment on matti haapojas latest video! Congrats on going full time youtube! Im glad to support!
I appreciate that! I haven’t yet but it’s in the plans. My goal is January but who knows
I have a 2015 overland and i agree with you about the shifter i dont like it all the one in my 2012 limited was alot better and the noise you hear coming from the vent might not be from the dash it just might be that you have your venelated seats turned on i noticed mine is very loud
About how much is it to finance this vehicle? And is it reliable
I have a 15 limited. All your complaints are annoying. The side vents still blow air no matter what setting it’s in (majority of vehicles do this!) Why are you trying to open your doors when you are locking it? Why are you trying to push the button when getting in (unlocking to open?) i never hit the button while grabbing the handle! Whistle noise? Well, your side vent there doesn’t seem to be open, maybe that’s your issue! If not, then your actuator door could be stuck. My sunroof doesn’t have a whistle sound when open...maybe you’ve screwed something up! At first, i hated the gear shifter, many times I’d think i was in drive, but was in neutral... or thought i hit park, but went to reverse... after a few weeks, i got used to it! Is your Uconnect supposed to be lightning speed? The unit has to register the information before throwing it on the screen....gosh, have some patience! Don’t tailgate people and you won’t have to worry about autonomous breaking!!! For goodness sakes, turn the features off through your Uconnect if they annoy you!
Wow thank you for the very informative video! I’m going to be purchasing an SRT and it’s sounds like very minor things to worry about. Kind of funny video 👍🏼
Thanks for the productive comment!! 👍
Life must be extremely hard for a 45k Jeep. I’d love to have that thing.
Just ship that dam thing to me and get it over with!!!!!!
@@brentbradley6711 yeah I’ll just sign that loan. Real quick
Lmao! Great vid
I'm about to get my 2nd jeep so this helped
glad you enjoyed it!
I agree with most things except I dont have the same clear coat peeling issue. Keyless thing... you'll get used it. I have found if I have the keyfob in my pocket with my mobile/cell phone it can get a bit touchy.
I also liked the shifter when I test drove a few, but its not easy to live with. Glad they went back to a traditional gate style even though its still electronic.
U connect speed dosn't bother me, I found it annoying when I first got the car but I dont use the performance pages when daily driving very much.
The aggressive anti-collision is annoying. Like you say it can scare people. I dont get the same wind noise issues as you, but I do get whistle from the left side roof rail. Lucky I'm in Australia and have the steering wheel on the right side.
My other gripe is the carbon fibre trim. It seems a bit of a thing with them. It lifts in places.
The steering wheel looks sweet, but I have a bit of peeling plastic chrome right on the join of the plastic trim. makes it feel pretty cheap.
Placement of the cruise control buttons isn't intuitive. But I can't suggest to Chrysler how to do it better, lol.
I love the heated/vented seats. They are almost as nice as the older 300C seats comfort wise, but beat them with the venting.
I love the keyless system. Never have to take them out of your pocket. I have left them in the cupholder overnight, but thats not the cars fault.Anyone could have driven away in it. I'm not yet brave enough to see if I can lock the keys in the car yet
I love the u connect. It can take a bit to warm up, but everything works.
My kids love the rear heated, reclining seats and the usb ports.
Electric tailgate is handy.
Bag holders in the rear are a bit lame. They might be ok for the 3 litre jeep, but its hard to keep anything still in the back with a 6.4 hemi. On that, the rails on the back floor really dont help.
Towing is fantastic. Tow mode seems a bit of a joke unless your pulling 3.5T. With a 18' caravan/RV on tow I leave it in "auto".
What I really love is it takes a very fast car to beat you off the lights. That gas pedal is something special.
Good Video, subscribed !
Thanks!
Beautiful Jeep.. I have a 15 Limited and love it.
I wonder if previous owner used chemicals on the rims to clean them, that is most likely the peeling problem.
Door locks: You probably learned how to use them correctly by now.. 1 finger touch to lock, and grab to open and works pretty great once your use to it..
LOL! I got all the same issues except the A/C noise. Paint/clear coat I believe FCA will fix that for free not sure (Don’t quote me) and the wind diffuser in the sunroof is pretty loud but what do you expect when your driving up ward 60+ MPH 😂 all in all I love my Jeep SRT.... And remember to have fun with it bro cool video👍🏾
i really do love it! thanks for the comment!
On #5 I feel you on that one. One time it scared the crap outta me and my passenger. I was on cruise control and my car was no where near another car on a empty road. It sense a car was apparently bout to pull out from another road (which the car didn’t) and our car break check us out of nowhere.
thanks for the comment!
I wanna know how your road trip was! I’m planning a road trip and it’s a must to know
New York City was amazing!
Nothing about owning a Grand Cherokee SRT would suck, my life sucks, my girl friend is fat, I wrecked my Hyundai Sonata. Even driving that SRT for a week would make my life!
#5 I can relate having the 2016 Nissan Maxima and it scared tf outta me🤦🏽♂️
So I have a 2013 overland and on your second thing you didn’t like about keyless entry and unlocking the doors you can change the settings to unlock all doors when putting your hand behind the handle it’s in the system settings on the dash
Thanks! Ive changed the settings since i uploaded this video
You can turn the blind spot sound off
I have the same issues with the wind noise etc. on the 2016 SRT... The loud noise start from 180 Km/h and go louder and become scarry at 220 Km/h and more... It comes from and arround my left vents !!! :( any ideas to fix it ?!
if i figure it out ill let you know! when I'm cruising at those speeds I'm not too concerned about wind noise. the noise I'm talking about happens between 105 and 120kph
Is the grand Cherokee considered a "truck"?? I thought truck is a term used for body on frame vehicle
My 2012 Overland does the howling when the sunroof is open also 🤦🏽♂️ With that being said I’m going to try and get an SRT in a couple years. I wanted the TrackHawk but I’m not sure l am ready for a $100,000 truck yet.
Is that automatic break bullshit adjustable or I have to turn it off every time I start the car?
Mine is always off unless I turn it on
In sport mode that passing traffic sensor goes inactive... but so does ur abs... and ur annoying lane management sensor has a seperate fuse... unplug fuse...
Haven't scrolled through all of the comments so, sorry if this has been discussed. But the whistle noise coming through your airvent could be from the cabin filter being installed upside down. It has happened to me - I flipped it over and no more whistle.
Have they fixed these issues 5 years later?
I like my 2014 Jeep srt you own yours a lot longer then mine question 🙋🏼 why do you have more torque then HP when you driving ??? 🙂
Christ your not fussy mate are ya!! You obviously didn't grow up in the 80s. I had a pull choke in my first car 😂
Snap throttle once for choke, snap again for normal idle once warm lol same here
Wtf u driving a model t
Good vid dude I still want a jeep SRT tho lol 😂 I would complain like hell but I would still drive it and I want it!!!!
thanks for the support!
They are nice!👍
like to buy one used ,what is price range?
Wait till the cf trim starts coming off
not even starting to show signs of peeling. and if it does ill fix it
Simple and cheap fix
Nick SRT8 they fix it for free now.
Wait you’re telling me, you hate that the blind spot is doing its job 🤔
I laughed at this one
Well done on on the 7 things I hate.. well I hate 1 and that's the sun roof noise open! Peace..Sean.
I wondering if I should get the 5speed or the 8speed I hear more issues from the 8speed but I love the front end of them
The 8 speed has no issues. And you can only get a 5 speed transmission on the WK1 06 - WK2 13
Keith Hard yes I know, I was talking about the 2013 over the 14/15
Haha wow! Rock Rest! That’s awesome you have a CZcams channel man!
Looking to buy an SRT and came across your channel
Lol the rock rest... I’m 86d lol. Remind me who this is
@@JoshShare are you really?!
The navigation System keeps bringing me to a Jeep Safari 😬And the Light Units aren’t water 🚿proof after using a Carwash
I'm glad I watched this. My much simpler 2015 Grand Cherokee Laredo, aside from the keyless entry, doesn't have ANY of these things. I'm happy I spent half as much the SRT costs. Also, you must use up all your profits on gas. This would be a terrible Uber vehicle.
2 and 7 are something you can easily get used to haha
Greetings from Denver! Hope to catch you at a car meet or something!
What year is it?
Hazard a guess someone has been using mag wheel cleaner to have damages clear coat on Brembo calipers, wheels, and centre caps. Not normal. Also, emergency brake sensitivity can be adjusted via uconnect. Near or far. For door unlock/ lock, retrain yourself to use both functions as intended. Normaly none issue by anyone else. As for vent, you can close it manualy.
most of the things i didn't like were fixed with the uconnect settings. also was difficult to come up with a list of 7 things lol
WRONG i have a 16 and NEVER used any type of cleaners mine are peeling and Bubbling
Bro drove a miata in highschool and never tips a waitress.
Brendan Alexander fuck waitresses lol
what year is your srt u never mention that
If you set it to unlock all doors on unlock it will do the same with keyless entry. Also if you enter from the front passenger, it will unlock all doors.
This is why you need to use an iron removing wheel cleaner frequently especially on wheels and brakes that are high performance like brembos.
I recently found this to be true as well... my chrome on my Silverado started peeling off... looks like hell and if only I would have known this earlier... sucks... especially ially for such an easy preventative measure...
That safety group auto braking thing is the reason I ended up lemoning my 2019 Trailhawk. In CA, people fill in every inch in front of when they can, which triggers that sensor. Not a comforting thought, when you also have an 18-wheeler behind you. My electric system was acting up and going haywire, so I didn’t want or need that Safety Group sensor slamming on the brakes. My biggest pet peeve with the GC/Uconnect system, is lack of real Voice Control usage. In my Audi’s and Porsche’s, I could hit the voice control and ask “Drive me to Cosmopolitan Las Vegas” or “Find directions to Chili’s in Highlands Ranch” and it would find the directions. With the GC, you have to know the full number address to tell the car where to go when you’re already moving. Pulling over on the side of the highway, to change your directions, is super annoying and dangerous.
That all said, I’m starting to think more and more about how much I want the SRT. You’re videos are great for showing real world usage of it, especially in the uncertainty that is CO weather and conditions.
Sunroofs in general are my #1 dislike...I didn't custom order and the SRT is not an easy find, so I just pull the trigger and simply NEVER open the damn thing! lol
Thank god I get it red ! 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
I love your car!
Be happy that you have a sick car with launch control
i am! just wanted to make a youtube video!
Well is good to know because I was thinking to buy a new one,but I looked up better ✌
SRT is too expensive for me, I can only afford a Laredo,
the keyless entry thing can be set in the system. you can decide when you pull the handle only to open the front doors or all the doors.
🔥🔥🔥🤤
Thanks for the support!
Hey Josh im going to give you a new cap for Christmas 😁
I'm going to give him a size 13 shoe in his azz
do not! he is rich!! he's an uber driver show off)))))))
I’m in Colorado and love 10 minutes away from there
Nice!
Haha i paint cars and have worked on many.
I swear it takes me a few tries to the vehicle to reverse.So annoying.
They stopped making that feature though and went back to a more traditional non electronic shifter.
Still love me a SRT Jeep tho.
Not a "truck" in any way. It's a car or SUV. Has no Bed. Has no full frame.
Ed Jackson I still like to call it a truck.
Yeah, I was just being a jerk
I actually agree with this one. Cherokees are not what they used to be, all they are now are mid-high end SUVS with 4WD for that occasional dirt dirt road that makes you feel like a badass because you would never in your right mind bring it to some real off-roading.
Even with a bed and frame if it burns gas it's not a real truck either .
@@praesdynamite4596 A stock XJ isn't capable of much either when it comes to hardcore off road . They are just cheaper to fix and if it was still 2001 and you just bought a new limited XJ you probably wouldn't want to beat it like the nearly 20 year old shit box it is today where you fish parts out of the picknpull for $20 to fix it after it breaks vs a newer car that costs more than a suitcase of beer to repair because it's not outdated with tons of parts in the JY .
Lmao these comments are hilarious y’all don’t realize the level of sarcasm in his voice lol 😀😀 he clearly love the car I bet he really had to sit there and find that shit lol 😂
Omg finally!!! I stay out of the comment section on this video.. thanks for the comment! And yes it took a while to come up with a list of 7 😂😂
Josh Share your sarcasm is terrible.
I have a 2011 Limited, 5.7L. The AC control doors are a BIG problem. They break and are hard to get to. The shifter is the gated one and works ok. The rear wiper ( made in Japan ) will lock up and will rust solid. The bearing should have been ceramic. The clear coat failed and salt is slowly damaging the wheels. Would I trade my WK2 for a Honda Highlander or others from that island. Not on your life.
No issues with your carbon fiber inserts falling off?
All the issues with the carbon fiber falling off.
2018Grand Cherokee Trackhawk do you hate this??
Don’t listen to these losers. Phenomenal video great job keep it up I’m lookin for a srt8 Jeep
I don’t lol thanks for the support 👍🏼
As someone that owns a lower model, i appreciate your dislikes. The clearcoat pealing is just no good. The keyless problem is pretty much all vehicles w/the "smart" key functions. Shifter is ehhh. My 2018 seems ok, so maybe they fixed that flaw. Uconnect is better now too. The forward collision is as annoying as me having to disable the auto start/stop function on mine EVERYTIME i start up the Jeep. Wish it could be permanently disabled. Not sure there's much that can be done about the blindspot gripe. Wind noise is ehhh too. I love my GC too, even though i only have 295 hp to roll with lol 👍
If there's anything to complain about new cars its the new A/C system that all new cars have. R1234yf, just had mine recharged at the dealer for 600 bucks because no one else can in town.
I know people are saying the struggle is real here jokingly but all these annoyances add up day after day driving a vehicle. I have an Acadia that’s not very fun to drive and thinking about trading it in and making payments on an SRT. But it’s expensive to put up with some of this shit. Still seems fun as hell to drive 475 horses
That bing sound at the beginning was the best part of your video, major jump scare
ill turn the volume down on it lol not trying to scare anyone!
Lol, I always thought this model refresh Jeep borrowed the face from the Rolls Royce Model line now including the Cullinan SUV... who’s who in these families...
If my I had a hot Uber driver with a Performance SUV, huge tip. Lol
And another huge tip for her in my pants😂
First and biggest problem is the year model. Still a nice Jeep though. Ever get the wheels refinished I suggest getting them Ceramic Coated.
ive had it less than a month. made the video mostly as an experiment to see how much traffic it would get. I really do love it though
I've got a 16 Night Edition. My buddy has the same issues you have. Ive only had the brake peel. Love the color btw.
Thanks!
Didn't even need to say you were at red rocks, I already knew form the many a f***** up nights I've spent there. Jeep is the official vehicle of Colorado!
How did you get a 14 srt8?
hard work
Josh Share it was more of joke than anything. They dropped the 8 in 14. So it is just an SRT.
Great job on this vlog! Your demeanor is that of a cool calm dude whom states truth,and is very well articulated!..great advice in a no B.S way i recommend this Channel to every hemi or SRT and car enthusiast alike peace to all your subscribers !!👍🤙🤘😉
Oh those day's were fun my friend! Lol..nice Josh.
Wow that brake issue is valid
Hot dude!
take it to the sales/ service and try to get it fixed
Ok the only thing that sucks that rear dorr dont open dayummmm
This would be nice as an Uber passenger to ride in but doesn’t the fuel economy make it not cost effective for an Uber driver?
i only ubered a handful of times because i wanted to make videos about it. i quickly realized that there were more profitable ways to make some cash. Also still trying to find my place on this huge platform lol. what can i say? I'm just wanna make videos!
I have never seen a vehicle of any make or any model that has keyless entry on the back doors.
Brakes pealing because the brakes were bled and brake fluid lifted the clear coat off and your correct the shifter sucks
He actually made me like em more cause the things he doesn’t like majority are just user
That's one nice looking vehicle you have there! Your quality is fantastic man! The footage is nice and sharp, I like it. Keep up the good work! Gave you +1! Would you mind giving me some feedback too? I'd love to hear your thoughts on my content. That way I can learn how to become a better content creator myself :)! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the feedback! Ill check out your channel later today when im off work!
You're welcome man! You deserve it! Thank you so much for replying, I really appreciate it!
Is this the Jeep Wrangler?
At least your carbon fiber isn't pealing and your drive trane is still in one piece.
Check out my other videos
Hmmm the wheel and brake caliper peeling should be covered under dodge warranty.
its not for some reason. i also havent tried very hard to get them to take care of it
2017 front end conversion NOW!
