2019 Hellayella JLU Rubicon 6-speed
14,8xx miles after 5 1/2 months of ownership and have not had a single issue. My favorite vehicle I have ever owned and have taken it off-roading in the desert, some mild rock crawling, and in light snow. Bought it from Peterson in Nampa, ID. No issues and I have done all the maintenance myself, two oil changes with the next tomorrow and changing the gear oil in both differentials as well. No point in paying the dealer $600 for draining and filling the differentials.

I support all those that have had issues with their Wranglers and I donā€™t deny your experiences . However, despite all of you that have had issues from ordering to delivery and beyond I have to say that from my ordering at Dennis Dillon in Boise, Idaho through almost 8K miles I have not ever had a better experience. I am a satisfied 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLUR owner. So there......

I suspect like you are the fortunate ones. No problem on JL 2d manual other than replacing the steering damper myself.

I'm at over 90,000 km on my 2018 Sahara JL, and am super happy with how well it has performed. I use it as my DD and for going up north fishing. I've learned how to maintain it myself to help save costs, and found it's surprisingly easy. I even started a channel to share what I've learned. CheaperJeeperTV.

Mine has also been rock solid. The only issue I ran into is the Auto Stop/Start feature runs into issues if I idle for a long time in Park. But I don't need it, so it doesn't bother me... there's probably a software update anyway, or maybe it's the Tazer doing it. Not sure. Either way, no issues @ 15k.

I'm extremely happy with my JLU after 7K and going strong!

However had my share of issues including UConnect (resolved), ESS (resolved) and loose steering (90% resolved) not to mention a few other warranty repairs. I never expected perfection when I purchased the Jeep and love driving it every day!

7200 miles on my 2020 JLUS daily driver, 2800 miles on my wifeā€™s 2020 JLUR daily driver. Love both. No issues, except that last weekend my wife asked ā€œdonā€™t you just love weekends?ā€ When I said yes and asked her why, she smiled and said ā€œbecause you get to drive the Rubiā€

Hey Gary, No problem. I appreciated your contribution, and I am using it this week again with the DIY Tire rotation video, to launch on Wednesday. Check it out if interested.

Both of our 2020 JLURā€™s drive/drove AMAZING and no issues in stock form!! The only issues I run into are self-inflicted because I want to run a 3.5ā€ lift on 37ā€˜s. Couldnā€™t be happier with the way it drove stock, and couldnā€™t be happier with the issues I have lifted on 37ā€™s!! Moral of the story, I couldnā€™t be happier!! God I love this pocket draining, insomnia inducing JL!!!

2019 Bright White 2dr JL Rubicon 3.6
Just crossed 8000 miles in mine yesterday and I've had notable issues - mainly 22 days in the shop to fix a bad heater core at 1500 miles, and a faint transmission noise upon acceleration from low speed or stop (almost like an occasional whine before it shifts. 3.6/AT/rubicon) that I can't diagnose. Couple rattles and squeaks from the hardtop and tailgate, all stock.

That being said, it's still the most fun I've had in a vehicle and I'd buy one again in a heartbeat. They absolutely nailed the JL's design inside and out and the on-road comfort out of something riding on two solid axles is stupid impressive. It's just completely unreal being able to explore the thousands of miles of backcountry I didn't know existed before I got this thing - it may be my first jeep but I'm a convert for life.

My 19 Rubicon with a power top has had no real problems and living in a rural area it gets used. I love that itā€™s a go anywhere, do anything, any time of the year vehicle. I have other vehicles but the jeep gets used the most for almost everything. Work, shopping and fun. The dealership in Helena Montana has been exceptional.
