Oh wow! That’s great!! I’m so excited for you :)
Yours is likely on the way as well. Hopefully you get the call soon!

Thanks Julie, I sent you a PM.

We need Julie (and Jimmy, and Jasmine, and Jerry's) real name at Jeep Cares, and their cell phone number so we can inquire about things with them at their 3:20AM.

I ended up going to my dealer last night and looking at their inventory on the lot. Almost left with a black Sahara (I ordered Granite), but it had tan seats and I wasn't about it. Figured for the money I'm spending I don't want to compromise. They're calling a dealer in north Jersey today to see if they can do a dealer swap, but they said not to hold my breath.

I guess I appreciate that they are trying to work with me, but still just so aggravating.
Agreed. I think it's nice that the Dealer, who is not responsible for this loss of keys it seems, is trying to do right by you.

I had a problem that didn't involve the dealer, but FCA.

FCA kept saying, "you need to work this problem out with the dealer."

I said, "no I don't. You FCA caused it. You work it out."

FCA disagreed.

Certified letters to Mike Manley, President of Jeep were written.

FCA changed their mind.

Unfortunately, this is how things sometimes must get done.

They seem to be just as annoyed as I am about the situation. I was told by my dealer that I was one of the first orders they received and got ones that were ordered after mine weeks ago. They have contacted their district manager with no response.

For those in Marion, OH, it looks like Jeep may be trucking quite a few of the Jeeps with no tracking information. My dealer emailed me last night and said my Jeep arrived while Jeep chat and MOTS show no movement. Heading to pick it up this morning!

Why that's impossible Nick.;) How dare you denigrate FCA for being anything other than entirely on the ball as to the status of everyone of their Wrangler's in transit.

Why this very classic (and hysterical) Nextel commercial could have been one for FCA regarding the status of their Wrangler's in transit (NOT).

Still makes me laugh:

(Does anyone want to do an office pool? Topic: how long would it take before FCA realized that 5 Wranglers I took off a railcar had gone missing. 3 Months? Never? Caveat: they'd have to have engines in them, they might not, so I could drive them away.)

Who can blame them for being annoyed? A screw-up they didn't cause, their fear, may reflect poorly on them. I'm glad you won't inappropriately assign blame. That's good of you.

My Jeep had hit my dealers website on March 15 3 days after reaching KZ but was then deleted when it reached Marion Storage Yd. My dealer has an ETA of 4.6 to 4.11 but the tracking does not reflect this ... where to they get that estimate from?
I wouldn’t trust any ETAs. The story/facts have changed so much that it’s hard to know what to believe. We’ve been given numerous excuses and no pattern exists to figure this out. There are people whose builds were sitting in Marion, OH and then bam, their build is at their dealership without any tracking update. So, the only reliable information is that the information is not reliable. Sorry :)

Mine arrived without the soft top in the back. Per my dealer, Jeep is going to ship them to the dealer with our VIN on The box, expected to be in 5+ weeks.

I love it, rides a lot better than the YJs I owned way back in college! :) LED headlights are definitely bright. I can see other drivers being annoyed. Really nothing bad to say, it’s one nice ride!

Now to give it a proper wash and put the ceramic coating on. See if the shine is any better!
