What are some common problems with the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?

I’ve always wanted a car that combined versatility with off-roading ability. After a bit of research, the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk looks like a great fit for my needs. But before I buy, I want to know if it has any issues, especially if I’m going to buy a used one. Are there any common problems with the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?
