For those of you who had "MILES" on your new JP. Did you also have one of these on the window?

That label doesn’t hold any water IMO.

Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding. There are posts on here by owners of 2020 and 2021 JLs losing all electrical assist and other quality problems as soon as they drive off the dealer lot.

Were those Jeeps not “tested”? If not, why not? If yes, how come the testing didn’t catch the problems?

The only reason FCA feels the need to print those labels is precisely because of the problems that are happening. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to print anything.

I had this too, a sticker plus a few miles on the Jeep when I picked it up 2+ years ago. I ordered mine. I asked a similar question on a post years ago.

I now have 43,000+ miles with no issues.

You sound like a car salesman. I'd be pissed over 30 miles but only because the dealership used it as a test drive model which means they made me wait to pick it up so they could use it as a sales tool. I'll bet there's not a "no big deal" response at a dealership if you turn a lease vehicle in with 30 miles over the limit.

Except you know it was tested at the factory and not the dealership. The lease hypothetically starts at 34 miles with the warranty aswell. If you break a contract that's your own responsibility. Brand new vehicles for purchase realistically range from 3 to 100 miles. There's no set number and is arbitrary. Your comparison is nonsensical.

"This vehicle has 34 miles on it? There's no way I'm following through with this deal." I can't imagine as an adult walking into a dealership and saying this with a straight face.

Mine had 25 miles on it, and the salesman didn't even know how to drive it. I'm a little worried about him taking it out to get gas, I guess he drove (and ran the clutch) and another salesman ran the gearshift. But then if I had a nickel for everytime I missed a shift in my Civic doing something silly in traffic, I'd have a lot of extra money.

Congratulations! You figured out how to win an argument: put words into someone else's mouth. Try reading and listening more and talking less.

Love poking the bear, and clearly you folks love to be poked. No I was never a salesman, a service writer yes, and you babies love to be poked and poked hard. The ones that freak over extra miles are the same ones that would be slurping up any snake oil I served up.

"You quoted me for my word but that's not what it meant!" The irony of you complaining about reading comprehension

Yep. Definitely the mental capacity of a car salesman. Good luck, sparky.

This a forum for owners and prospective buyers. If you want to stir the pot, find some high school girls to impress, that's obviously where you peaked.

Starting with the first sentence you made in this thread every post you’ve made has been derogatory in some way. The hypocrisy and irony is incredible.

Yea 30 miles I’d be a little disappointed but would let it go. 300 and we’d have to talk.
I was happy with mine......

 

[Dcoury]

Not at all disappointed!!!

Not at all disappointed!!!

Well I for one wished mine would of had 30 miles on ( Quality control check ) before we picked it up. We drove 450 miles to Peterson Dodge in Nampa Idaho to pick up our 2021 3.0 Rubicon that we ordered four months earlier.

The Rubicon had six miles on it when we went to take possession. After waiting for it to be detailed we then took it for a test drive prior to completing the deal.

We were on the road in about two hours heading home (Wife decided she was going to drive) when we pulled over for a pit stop with 31 miles on it. We were walking up to the Jeep and she started it with the remote start. We heard what sounded like the fan hitting the radiator. She turned it off and restarted it again with same noise but not as loud.

We called Peterson and they were there waiting for us. Long story short it was Thanksgiving week and they found that the Flex plate was warped.

Peterson had the parts in two days and it was finished Friday after Thanksgiving, so three days and it was repaired. The service manger called and asked if he could take it for a test drive of a hundred miles. I told him yes as we had returned to Oregon during this time.

Peterson made a crapoy situation the best they could, paid hotel bills and gave us a very substantial gift card for trouble.

Two points buying this vehicle from Peterson was the best experience ever in purchasing a vehicle.
Second if it had someone test drove it for say thirty miles maybe it would of been caught prior to us.
Jeep had 4,400 miles on it and runs like a beast with no more problems.

Your 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty starts with the mileage on the vehicle when you take delivery. Example: 31 miles at delivery = 36,031 miles bumper to bumper.

Only derogatory to a dealership trying to rip me off. Never started a personal attack. Some tools on here calling people childish or babies for standing up to dealerships. Standard shady dealership 101 training: make the buyer seem stupid, childish or unreasonable for asking for sensible things. Dealers should use the vehicles they have for test drives. Never a vehicle someone has ordered and is waiting to be delivered. It's called ethics. Some dealerships have them, some don't.

I didn’t know at the delivery time of my Jeep that they don’t use ordered Jeep’s for test drives. My nephew passed the dealership while I was on a cruise in Bermuda and texted me pictures. I had visions of test drives and kids walking on my seats. I then called and was assured no test drives. When I returned and saw that plastic on the steering wheel, it was a relief.
