I just noticed the same fender on my 20 Rubicon looks very yellow. 1100 miles, also garage kept. Called the closest dealer to my house and they said they don’t have their own body shop. Said they have to take a picture, send it to Jeep warranty claims, if approved they send to a body shop. Said the whole process takes about a year and recommended that I take it to a dealer with an in-house body shop. Unbelievable.2 week old Jeep 400 miles. Garage kept. 2020 rubicon. Fender driver side yellowing. I didn’t check grill yet. Just found out about that tonight here. my dealer is aware and Said via text he sees the yellowing. I’m waiting To here from them tomorrow.
forcucguys who had the pieces replaced. Any issue afterwards again?

Saaaay whaaaat! My dealer said he is talking to his manager today but he already said it looks yellow. I don’t know if they have an in house body shop. Hopefully this goes smooth.I just noticed the same fender on my 20 Rubicon looks very yellow. 1100 miles, also garage kept.

For most, getting repaint approval is a non-event. Saying it takes a year is their way of brushing you off so they don't have to deal with it.I just noticed the same fender on my 20 Rubicon looks very yellow. 1100 miles, also garage kept.

My 2020 Rebicon is scheduled to have the grill and the surrounding grill parts and both front fenders painted. The shop I am going to said it was just a poor factory paint job on the plastic parts. Jeep is covering the cost of repair. But it is still maddening to see this on a new $60,000 Jeep.For most, getting repaint approval is a non-event.

no need to get mad as jeep doesn’t give a crap and won’t fix their process. After it’s painted by a professional it will be fine. 1 year strong.My 2020 Rebicon is scheduled to have the grill and the surrounding grill parts and both front fenders painted.

Yep same issue on 2018 grill and all 4 fenders... Took dealership 2 times to get it right gave it back to me first time looked like they gave it to small kids to paint... with help of Jeep Cares they ordered new fenders had them painted properly and it has been good since... Yes it's a pain as between both times they had my jeep for over 1.5 months in total...no need to get mad as jeep doesn’t give a crap and won’t fix their process.

take it to a dealership without a body shop so they have to outsource it. Any pro shop should paint it correctly.I feel better after hearing some of the happy endings. Anyone have a good experience getting this fixed around TN? I know it sounds crazy but I’d be willing to drive to have it done right.
