I can provide you a long list of Chrysler vehicles that have served my family well. We've owned at least two dozen, never been let down and never had any major powertrain failures going back to the early 1980's. The only major powertrain failures the entire family has experienced were in Japanese vehicles with 5 speed transmission failures in a Nissan and an Acura.
More relevant to this thread, my 2015 Grand Cherokee was solid. I owned it for 3 years and put 70k miles on it, the only issue in that time was a strut.
I don't feel like 70K miles is very much. I tend to look at vehicle reliability at 1-300K miles.
Also, this thread and these answers are flawed because of small sample sizes. Both my, and your, experiences are simply anecdotal. I tend to look at Consumer Reports, as they are a much larger sample size. They are literally the same as this thread, but if it went for 1000+ pages. They don't paint a good picture of FCA. I remember I looked at it and disregarded it when I got my Jeep. Woe was me
Agreed 70k isn't much, but at this point in my life I have no interest in owning high mileage vehicles. The 2015 Jeep in discussion was reliable and held it's value VERY well. Years ago I picked up a number of used high mileage Chrysler vehicles that worked out as well, along with a new one that held up to high mileage. No complaints here.
