Known issues by generation

For the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (WK2), the 6.2L supercharged Hemi engine is known for a few key issues that should be monitored. The supercharger snout bearing can fail, particularly in high-mileage or over-tuned vehicles, leading to costly rebuilds. Additionally, the multi-displacement system (MDS) lifters have a history of failure, so ensuring recall completion and conducting a tick test is vital. Lastly, while the TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission is robust, wear may occur in high-mileage variants, particularly those subjected to aggressive launch conditions. Keeping a detailed maintenance history is crucial for potential donations, especially at collector-tier status.
