  1. Poll: Bubbles in Paint??

    FWIW, the corrosion doesn't only happen around hinges. I have substantial paint issues on the bottom edges of the doors as well.
  2. Poll: Bubbles in Paint??

    I've tried to get my paint issues resolved for nearly two years now through multiple dealerships and they just end up ghosting me. I finally followed up with @JeepCares through their phone support and was told I would get a call back within two days. Unfortunately, that was about two weeks ago.
  3. I'm confused by various posts on speaker upgrades to the Alpine system

    The speakers actually have different resistance and use amp-based crossovers. The 3.5" dash speakers are 4ohm mid-high, while the knee panel speakers are 2ohm woofers. Same for the soundbar speakers - 3.5" 4ohm/4" 2ohm.

    Right. It's hard to imagine that being true, and I don't actually believe them, but it's also hard to imagine how lazy/incompetent you would have to be to reuse old bolts when new ones are supplied.

    Dealership that did mine told me that the bolt kits only have a single bolt - not 4 as required. Might be BS. Dunno

    Got correct bolts installed but no change in feel. I'm just going to assume it's the new normal and get used to it.

    Light, not tight. Thought I saw a few people on here mention lightness, but either way I knew the overwhelming majority of folks said nothing or specifically noted it was same as before and that told me I was an outlier. The feel of mine is probably 50% effort compared to before. Maybe less at...

    Dropped off again this morning for them to address the bolts and software. The bolts were on the service order and plainly not installed, so hopefully they won't be difficult about it. Drove on the freeway this morning and I can say that the overly-light steering could actually pose a safety...

    I'm not saying that they somehow misapplied it, I'm suggesting that they didn't do it at all.
  10. Steering issues cured by installing new Steering gear box! (per TSB 08-074-20)

    I'll have mine replaced since I need the software verified (cough*actuallydone*cough), but i'm not sure I would otherwise. Sitting at the dealership for 2 hours for something I could do myself for $5 and 10 minutes hardly seems worth it.

    Dealership also apparently reinstalled the old bolts on mine. Combined with the likely failure to update the software. Man, i'm so tired of laziness and incompetence from these people.

    I'd like to hear about everyone's light vs. heavy (or no-change) impressions after getting the repair. Surely it must be software related, but trying to figure out if it's from having or not having SW done correctly.

    Yeah, the inconsistency is pretty concerning.
  14. Steering issues cured by installing new Steering gear box! (per TSB 08-074-20)

    Just got my back after getting the new cast iron box installed and I can confirm that it's a slightly mixed bag. First and foremost, the repair absolutely takes care of the wandering and deadspot. The steering is MUCH more precise with very little play. It is akin to any vehicle I currently or...

    Got a call from the dealership today (after multiple VMs left) and they have my parts. Scheduled for 9/23.

    If nothing else, it removes any grey area that allows dealers to vaguely deny the repair because of "modifications". They will at least have to show that it's out of spec.
  18. Dealership replaced steering box with the old part under 08-074-20

    Unbelievable!!! Makes me wonder if they were trying the ol' bait and switch. Make you think they 'fixed' it and make an extra $900 down the line somewhere...
  19. Steering issues cured by installing new Steering gear box! (per TSB 08-074-20)

    Absolutely agree. It's a disappointing design. Just pointing out that it's something that can be addressed if Stealerships try to use it as a reason to deny the TSB repair.
  20. Steering issues cured by installing new Steering gear box! (per TSB 08-074-20)

    Correct. Presuming this is mostly referring to caster, that's something that could be remedied by the owner reasonably easily in many cases.
