Iām curious because they did replace parts related to a recall and showed me the screen at my last appointment that my 4xe had no associated recalls or updates. Everything was up to date. I will say my my service dealer was great to work with and always very polite. I just think they didnt have...
Made it two years and about 16K miles with my 21 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe. First 5-6 months were great with no issues. We have a Level 2 charger and many trips under 30 miles. Then I was driving 40mph on a narrow backroad with no pull offs and the Jeep died in the middle of driving at 5am in the...
My dealer was great. My car was impacted by the seal recall for a charging issue. They got the part within 48 hours and completed the fix. They also told me there was a series of rapid response updates for the 4xe. They applied all of them. This was over a week ago and weāve driven the 4xe...
Aside from that issue, we have loved the vehicle. Its our second Wrangler, our first one was rock solid. So Iām optimistic that one of the fixes resolved this issue. So far (just under 3K miles ) we are averaging 41.7mpg and the family loves the vehicle. Honestly there is nothing else out there...
I was lucky because mine died on a backroad at 5:45am with no other vehicles on the road. But you have maybe 15-30 seconds to get off the road before your car will come to a stop. Unless your going downhill and can coast. This would be scary as hell on the freeway doing 60-80 to nothing very...
Was built 4-21. Weāve had it since late May with zero issues. I did charge it to 100% and drove it to 60% locally with no issues. Found a number of loose fuses and tightened all of them down. Called my local dealer and there is a recall they will inspect for and I told them about my issue...
While I totally feel for the Op, and completely understand his frustration the reality is parts are a huge issue right now. I had a Toyota with less than 800 miles go In for an issue (door lock sensor stopped working) it took them 3.5 weeks to get the part In.
I have a friend who bought a...
Ironically mine did this today. It complete died in the middle of driving down a 2 lane road with no shoulder. Luckily it was early and no traffic. I was able to put it in park, restart it and drive home. Seems fine now and charges and drives fine. But I would hate for this to happen again...
I think it will be slow decline for the used market, but it will be consistent. The key will be pricing your used vehicle correctly when you first list it, or you could be riding a downwave and constantly be slightly overpriced.
The new inventory is the tough part of this. The longer it...
You can charge your vehicle outside. Just need a charging cable that extends as far as you need and I would recommend a Level 2 charger to reduce chare times. We have a Pacifica Hybrid and a 4XE Rubicon and log about 8-10K miles per year (on average) for both vehicles. PHEV is awesome. We...
According to the app:
1514 total miles
1064 electric miles
450 hybrid miles
37mpg
Most of our commuting is on electric, we have only put gas in it once (aside from the dealer tank). This is Rubicon 4xe and my wife and I are both lead foot drivers. Our 18 JL Sport averaged 16.9mpg lifetime.
I follow several used/car/auction Youtubers in different parts of the country. All of them said it looks like used market peaked 1-2 months ago. But people and dealers are in denial and are still trying to keep prices high since they bought high and want a profit..
Do not overpay for a used...
I read recently that many insurances companies are totaling vehicles right now that, in the past would not have been, due to supply and parts issues. Rental costs are out the roof too, so they may total it.
Awesome post OP, I love Moab and a trip 3 years ago and a rented Rubicon and here I am now on my second JL and my first Rubicon (and PHEV to boot). We 100% love our 4xe. My wife drives it way more than me and with our driving style (lots of short commutes) and a Level 2 charger and we can go...
Had my 19 JL w/18K miles with one issue (AC condenser) that was promptly fixed under warranty. No other issues. My 21 4xe has been trouble free but only 1K miles.
Ironically our 19 Honda was a nightmare of recalls and problems and I couldnāt wait to sell it.
Hey, thanks for replying. Yes, I do go through cars but historically I like to buy gently used sports cars in winter time with snow on the ground and then I usually sell them for either more than I paid or break even. Last two cars I have actually made a lot of money on (GT350 and SS1LE), but...
I didn't realize they stopped the Hella Yella.. It was there in April when I ordered and it was between that and Firecraker Red which we ended up getting (we really wanted Nacho but they took that color off too).
It's funny the day before the dealer delivered the 4xe to me he called to tell...
Well that may be incentive to sell my 4XE and do it all over again next year :) Pretty sure I can get more than $42K for it which is what I paid out the door after taxes, etc and including the $8K fed+state rebate.
