Boggles my mind

4.5 months is a long time to wait and obsess. My dads JT has only been a 2 month wait and he got the delivery date today. Ordered 5/28 will be getting it 7/22. He’s managed to fit in so much worrying I can’t imagine even longer.

8 days shy of 8 months for me! Nov 20th order D1 still.

sales person at his dealership said they get enough orders they just hire someone to get them themselves evidently.

I realize you guys are right about only hearing the horror stories on here. Like you said, I have been sitting here obsessing. I have a pile of stuff that I am accumulating for her when she does finally arrive

I'm on 4 1/2 months waiting for my Willys build. While waiting, I've read so many complaints about the hinge corrosion that I am already worried about my Jeep that isn't here yet!
How is it they aren't correcting the issue, and we still line up to buy these things? I almost feel like a sucker waiting for the most expensive car I've ever bought to need paint work yet, here I sit, so excited to get this thing. I guess that's what happens when you have a corner on the market?

You need to stop looking at these ridiculous posts that most of them are regurgitated from Jeep haters that post on the Internet. I bought my 2021 jeep Rubicon with the 3.6 L engine almost 2 years ago and have 30,000 hard 4 wheeling miles. The jeep is absolutely bulletproof well-made with quality materials and tough as nails! Get excited and be happy!

Listen man, your bigger issue is gonna be your gas money spend, because you’re gonna want to drive it ALL the time

I can personally attest to this. Almost 4 months with my JLU, still looking for reasons to go drive it. Grocery store, hardware store, long way home from work etc.

Don’t sweat it. If it happens, it happens, deal with it and move on. I loved my 19 JLR, but it developed the issue and it was my first JL and bought off the lot, so it had some options I wouldn’t have chosen and a was missing a couple I would have. Traded it for 22 JLR that was EXACTLY what I wanted. No issues so far, LOL.

I put over 60,000 miles on the 19 JLR. Only have a 1,000 on the 22, but I can tell you this, it’s going to wind up in the permanent collection right next to the TJ, the JLs are THAT good. If it does develop corrosion later, I’ll line-x the whole damn thing and call it a day.

The thing about forums is you have people post about issues, either to complain, or to find out if the issue they're experiencing is unique to them. Then you have a large group down play any issues simply because they currently aren't experiencing the same issue.

Fact of the matter is there are nearly 200k Wranglers sold annually & a very minute percentage of owners are on forums such as this. Thus the actual percentage of owners/vehicles experiencing issues of any kind is unknown.

I will say when there is more than a handful of the same issue being reported, it should be something a new owner is concerned with. I'll also say that issues reported on forums such as this can be very beneficial to owners experiencing said issue who may be having problems getting the issue corrected.

Couple examples: back in the early 2000s I had a Trans Am I purchased brand new that started burning oil. Found that many other f-body & Corvette owners with with the LS1 engine were experiencing the same thing. I provided the forum threads as evidence to the attorney general who fought GM on my behalf for a new engine, and won. Couple years later GM admitted the design issue and fixed it.
Guess what, initially owners who were complaining of the oil burning issue were told on the forums, "it's not a big deal", "it's being blown out of proportion." "Only a very small percentage of owners are having issues", etc.

My first 2016 JKU had the manual shifter break loose from the transmission at 2k miles. Literally, nobody else on the forum had experienced that. People said it was a freak occurrence, then more and more people started experiencing the same thing & Jeep issued a recall. Turns out they had changed a bushing on the shifter from 2015 to 2016 & it started failing a lot.

Point being, yes most vehicles are virtually problem-free, but issues reported on forums such as this shouldn't be discounted just because you're not currently experiencing the issue or haven't experienced it.

Thanks, everyone. I am excited. Gotta have faith!

Doesn't happen to them all. If you worried about everything negative about Wranglers posted on every Jeep site, you would come to the conclusion they are the worse vehicle ever produced (not counting Vegas and Pintos). If they are really so bad, why do people wait months on end for one? I LOVE ours!

I see a number of Jeeps come in. So far the only hinge corrosion I haves seen are in Jeeps that are about 12+ years.

Not saying it's not an issue but if it was a major problem, there would be a 500 page sticky thread on top of the page that would document all of the corrosion.
