Known issues by generation
While the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is an engineering marvel, it is important to be aware of some specific issues that can arise with this high-performance vehicle. Potential problems include pre-failure of the supercharger snout bearing and isolation coupler, particularly in high-mileage or over-tuned examples. Additionally, the MDS lifter-failure issue on the Hemi V8 is worth noting, with recall completion and a tick test being critical checks before donation. The robust 8-speed TorqueFlite transmission is generally reliable, although it can exhibit valve-body wear in high-mileage vehicles. Other concerns involve wear on the Quadra-Trac AWD system and Brembo brake components, especially in heavily used examples, underscoring the importance of a thorough maintenance history.

Vehicles in pristine condition can fetch $80,000 to $110,000 or more at auction platforms like Bring a Trailer and Mecum. Factors influencing value include original paint, unique color configurations such as Velocity Yellow and Redline Pearl, and documented preventive maintenance records. The presence of requisite service documentation, including supercharger rebuilds and MDS lifter-recall completion, further enhances appeal to collectors, with strong auction competition solidifying its status as a modern American muscle icon.
