Am I just lucky?

[rickinAZ]

• My Ecodiesel doesn't run hot even though I live in Phoenix
• I've never experienced death wobble even though this is my 11th Jeep
• I have both safety packages and they work flawlessly
• My dealer hasn't tried to screw me (although, in all fairness, I don't use them much)
• My Jeeps have never been "victimized" in any way (although a dealer employee once left a half-eaten bean burrito on the rear seat of my one-month old GC)
• I rear-ended a CR-V: $5K+ in damages to them; $80 in damages to me. (hence the safety packages on my latest Jeep )
• My (supposedly) suicidal fuel pump is still running like a champ.
• I'm sitting on 500+ lbft of torque and I've managed to stay out of trouble.

Anyone else have any "lucky streaks" to share?

This is what you call "tempting fate".

Well, being a Porsche owner the OP is confused by not having to go to the dealer every month.

no

What was the damage to your Jeep? Do you have a photo? I'm very curious what happened that cost so little for you. Probably to stroke my ego that I have a steel bumper, but if you have a photo...love to see how minimal damage/cash it cost you.

I've had a similar experience....nothing on my Jeep has had an issue so far....but I have the I4 2.0 and only 18k miles since I bought the '21 JLR in December of '20.

11th Jeep...jealous of the fun you've had for sure...!

Here's a thread. Mine were the OEM steel bumpers (like the ones in the picture below):

I don't have a picture of my damage, but it was the driver's side plastic bezel surrounding the fog lamp in the generic picture below:

Actually NOTHING rusts in Phoenix - like they say, it's a dry heat.

[now...faded paint we do have...]

You should probably may a preemptive appointment at the dealer for the week after next and when they ask for what just say everything

Well driving Jeep almost all my life and they never anything other than a 3rd car, yet it was the car that got all the miles on it and drove to work daily.

Starting in '84 I bought my first NEW Jeep and about 16 Jeeps later with all being ordered except 3 and I now have my 2024 JLR-X.

2 Jeeps have seen over 100k miles, and 1 at 136k miles this one needed a new water pump only because it a a very small drip and I put up for sale and being honest I replaced it. My 2003 Rubicon wheeled with me just a fraction over 100k miles and I had retired, sold my company and I did nothing but wheel for 10 years. 1 or 2 trips to Moab every year, all over the SW US often gone from 1 week o r2 weeks at a time and sometime almost a month. Wife was happy have me out on the road and out of her hair. I don't play on little trails I play with the big boys 7+ trails.

After all this the warranty:

Up until my 2024 JLR-X I had only gone in for warranty service 5 time and now 6.

2 x replace rearview mirror

1 x Snaped drivers side rear axle shaft

1 x Reinsert AC drip hose thru firewall

1 x Short in Left Rear tail light, loose ground wire

My 2024 TPMS Left Front tire, Right rear tire stopped reading.

Jeep has never done anything but treat me well and I am glad because Dealers rarely treat us well. My 2023 JLR I added 35 tires and because of that they denied ALL warranties. I bought it there and they did not tell me when I bought it that any mod would take it out of warranty for anything on the Jeep. This is NOT rare. I flat rendered my Jeep TJ Rubicon and they would not warranty the Jeep as a result..they claimed the Jeep mech was a short guy and the flat fenders would not let him work on the engine bay. I had a missing plug and they would not replace it.

Dealers are the problem, NOT the Jeep
