I was in JB Status from 5/04 to 5/22 (18 days) waiting on Body Vendor to install Headliners. Body Vendor had for 13 hours before being released back. Waited 3 more days to ship.
147 days today and still waiting.

I went to my dealership today. I spoke to several people, including the GM. Seems like everyone had an idea what the hold up was...PST, painted fenders, the fact I ordered it loaded but didn't get leather, etc.. Most of everything said has been proven wrong here. By the way, they confirmed I am still 'D'.

Showed me a POC from one they got in yesterday, it was ordered late Jan.. I think the logic there was mine was ordered 2 weeks later so maybe it will be done in 2 weeks???? C'mon man, I just didn't fall off the turnip truck! LOL The POC showed it was a dealer order, not a customer order??

Anyway, everyone was nice and it was a nice civil conversation. I reminded him of the 4 new Jeep vehicles purchased in last 10 years from his 'team'. Says he has called FCA before but now he is going to call someone higher than his normal rep.

I now have no more resources to turn to for help expediting. When you all have whatever your favorite beverage is tonight, try to conger up some kind of good luck cheer for those of us who haven't started the process yet.
:beer:;)
UPDATE:
Received text from my salesman saying the GM told him my status changed to D1. Asked for emailed new copy of POC, was told that it would have to wait till Monday when the new car order guy is back in office...I know kind of BS.

So with this news I tried Jeep chat again for the first time in a few weeks. Was told the materials are gathered, etc, etc. so then asked if he was saying status 'D', because my dealer had indicated to me I had finally moved to D1. Response was they can not provide code but my dealer is not wrong????

Called the 866 number, they say moved to D1 on 5/31!

Not sure what to think and yes, I know things can change and I know it is only D1 but this is the only positive news on my order all the way back to 2/5.

Might have a little nip with Mr. Jack Daniels tonight! :clap:

I'm in JB due to headliners. Next Wednesday will make 21 days in JB for me.
I’ve been in JB, not sure why but I have headliner, for about 10 days, ordered 12/15, not worth counting days anymore.

I hear you. I ordered on 1/5. The only reason I'm counting days now is because I turned my Camaro in and now I'm driving a shitty loaner from the dealer. A Compass... with extra emphasis on the 'ass'.

Reminds me of my ex-wife's old Aztec. :no:

Took 14 Days with Headliner (Excluding Memorial Day). Day later went KZ. Received window sticker today. My train is going to the Northeast which I believe is the reason for the faster movement.
@Fred How long after you received your window sticker did your Jeep ship?

waiting on my JLR order updates
I understand we want to see the longest wait but that person is going
through Hell waiting. I am also happy for all of us that have received our
orders. But it is a dirty rotten shame Jeep does not fill the damn orders
placed MONTHS ago ! I was and those still waiting have terrible emotions
going through this. They do not want to see people getting orders in
30 to 45 days (no offense) it rubs salt in their wound. I hope and pray
these early orders GET DONE NOW.
I totally agree, if it wasn't for the Jeep I found in Ohio in stock I'd still be waiting for my order and going ape shit since its still on D1.

Is the Sky One-Touch Power Top going to be an option for the 2 doors?
Maybe...
On May 4th an internal Jeep release note Jay posted showed that the Sky One-Touch Power Top was about to be released to order in both two and four door models.
I believe it was a mistake. Nobody has taken a picture of the two door model with a Power Top yet and it goes against all previous PR documents.
But it is possible.
