Over 600 posts in this thread, and there seems to be little or no regrets. HERE’S SOME REGRETS.
Got my 2021 2.0T JLUR one month ago. LOVED it for the first few weeks, then started hearing an engine clicking sound. Dealer says ENTIRE ENGINE needs to be replaced. Apparently there is some kind of known quality issue in the current market of shortages and supply chain disruptions. I am customer #5 that this dealer has seen with this issue this year. They estimate 2-3 weeks, maybe longer, to get the replacement engine (again due to inventory shortages).
I’ve started the lemon/buyback process with FCA due to concerns with unknown timing to repair (maybe months, plus concerns with any potential value loss??)
Meanwhile, I’m still debating if I want it back (if they can finish repairs in a reasonable timeframe) or if I want to push hard on the buyback and then start over. Downside is that inventory is really tight right now and I might have to make some sacrifices on desired colors and options.
Please comment away with your advice.
Meanwhile… the Rubicon 392… Can’t stop thinking about it. Love, love…
