2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[OldGuyNewJeep]

I’ll wait until Friday. If no movement maybe I’ll call, if only to have a nice conversation with a friendly Canadian

Escalating does work. I used some other channels but went from D to KZ in a week.

 

[Sweetwater]

Build is in my signature. Yes, PST, and I know those are rumored to start next Monday... but others here with PST went D1.

My $0.02 is that calling and escalating doesn’t do anything. They set that line up, IMHO, to pay us lip service and make us feel valued. What better way than with super polite Canadians on the line? :cwl:

@Sweet water, before you bark at me to not reply to @zgn... chill, bro.

Your post is right on. Emails and calling doesn't do a thing. We get no truthful
answers at all . No no barking at zgn that's done and over with not to be ever brought up again.
At times we all get disappointed,angry, and depressed about all of this. Say things we shouldn't. We all
have a right to express our views. Then discuss them as best we can.

Since there are shipping delays. Can anyone breakdown the $1445.00 destination charge
as to who gets what? If it all goes to shipper you would think they would be fighting
to get the Jeeps.

The sales manager from my dealership just called. He said that I probably won't see my Jeep until August.
He said that if I switched to the turbo it may come in sooner but no guarantees.

Who else is getting jealous of those with D1 (and better) gripes?

18 weeks in D for me so far... I was really fine about that until some of you guys got yours built, or even just moved to D1. Now I’m envious!

Need some video of new 2 door deliveries. Give those of us stuck in pergatory a walk-through. (Especially of the cargo area, seat folded, seat out, and demo of turning radius.)

Im on the same boat, sucks but not much that we can do about it. We bitch and they set up a (here's your pacifier hotline) "don't call us, we'll call you when we have an update"

Here's the clearest explanation of destination charge:

I'm guessing lack of supply of rail cars + trucks + increase fuel costs.

So there I was today, driving home from work, minding my own business, when I thought “Hey! Dealership is right there, stop in and check status”.

And I did, and my sales rep checked. She says sorry, still in D. Well I was having none of that, so I promptly cancelled my order of one JL Sport S.

And then ordered a Rubicon.

As I told my wife when I got home, I can not be blamed or held accountable for the extra expense. She knows very well the risks of leaving me unsupervised.

Sales rep will confirm all this with her manager tomorrow, but does not think it will be an issue.

I can not recall how many times they said they would call with an update. (so many times!)
And I have yet to receive 1 call back. I do call twice a day maybe they will ship it rather
than hear from me. Oh yea also one Email a day too.

For those waiting on PST, I was told they estimate my build to start first week of June. I ordered on 2/20.

I'm waiting for a 3.6L Sport S with most of the packages.

 

[That One Guy]

Is standard soft top on a production delay? That's what I'm intending on.

hopefully more of you long term orders receive yours soon... I thought the first one would bring a quick rush in..

 

[ZeroTrev]

I was told PST starts next Monday, but the order I placed February 8th I think is scheduled for June. Boggles my mind that either they have that many people that ordered before or they just haven't made it a priority and it'll take that long to casually start production of the PST. I emailed them back Friday and yet to hear a response.
I can't imagine making a early adopter wait another month after production starts to get their build going. Maybe they are building 4 a day

 

[BostonBilly]

Just reached out to my guy about canceling my order and just sticking with my 15 JKU. It has been 18 weeks with no real movement and the shipping delays has me thinking I will be lucky to see it in June. Fuck you FCA. He is reaching out to try and get some "good" info on what the wait could be from this point on.
