Holy crap! Never mind the song (although it is great); that video is just crazy AWESOME!
I know. That's why I put it up rather than the artist's official video. Jean Baptiste Chandelier's other videos are worth checking out though this is the pinnacle of his work.

Has anyone taken delivery of a Jeep in inspection for a long time? Mine has been in I for 15 days now. I am concerned, should it get cleared, that I will be stuck with a lemon. In your opinions, should I be concerned about it? My dealer said he will get back to me as soon as his GM finds out something, but 15 days should not worry me. Well, he is a salesman, so I AM worried.
Warc1, you the wise, any thoughts?

According to the late, great Drillionaire, two weeks in "I" is nominal. They have around 2500 vehicles waiting to get into the garage at any time. The vast majority are for minor repairs, such as sheared bolts, and take little time to fix. The issue regards the logistics of working through the backlog.

I called the 866 number cause my guy is off today. They said I was in shipping, I asked if that meant on the road/rails or if that meant in a yard somewhere waiting on a train. He said it has been 9 days so it is on the road and I should have it soon. Lmao. I emailed my guy anyway, who said he expects it to hit the rail yard in a day or two. It would be great to get it next week but not gonna hold my breath

I have been in quality inspection for almost 3 weeks now. And my dealer has had two doors delivered and they were ordered in April . Mine in January .. Just have to wait and see.

Getting groceries in a Wrangler??? That's what Ferraris are for.

I had the Mavic Pro and many transmission problems so sent it back.
I bought mine on Amazon and reading the reviews was like reading the technical issues thread on an FCA forum like this one. In both cases, I nervously went through the purchase regardless. No issues yet on both, knock on wood, but these are early days.

I wonder, what are the chances that The Drillionaire lurks this site?

I am not Warc1, but to add to his comment, consider this;
If you have been in inspection for “weeks”, they probably found something to fix, it waited for parts, it waited for the repair person, it got inspected again - and finally got released.
Bottomline, you got a fully inspected & roadworthy vehicle.

When it arrives at the dealership, they should give it the once over, too.

Yes, be vigilant, but don’t start from a position of despair and victimhood.
