Trading my Jeep in soon as well donāt blame you one bitDon't really have much to add here other than to reiterate to people this is not a maintenance issue. I have a White 2020 JLUR with 9500 miles on it. Heated Garage, washed once or sometimes twice a week. Ceramic coated first week of ownership. I use a ceramic detailer spray on wax / recharge once a month. I also use an Adams Air Canon after I wash to get all the water out of the nooks and crannies. That said - 6 months ago I had one small spot under the rear driver side door, probably about the size of a pea. Now its 3 times as big and I have bubbling on 5 of my 8 door hinges.
I enjoy my jeep (my first one) and I love off-roading and hitting the trails with friends but I also really enjoy cleaning and detailing my cars, my jeep included. I can wash indoors (drains and hot / cold running water in my garage) and I enjoy my garage time (music on and beer close by).
All that said I sick over this issue. I know every dealer and every owner will deal with this in there own way. This will not bother some and will totally freak out others. Im not trying to troll here, you can look at my many responses and several treads that I started on here to see I enjoy my Jeep and the people who it has brought me in touch with. Truly a great community of people.
THAT SAID - I'm trading in my RUBI. I had a very good lottery number and 2 weeks ago ordered my 2021 Bronco Badlands. It should be here end of MAY. Sorry guys (and girls).
I already know people will point to FORD paint problems as well but I have a 2017 Ford Raptor with 30k miles on it and ZERO issues with it (paint or otherwise). My wife has a 2015 Ford Edge with 75k miles on it and the paint is perfect. Ill take my chances.
Again - this is not intended to promote Ford and diss other Jeep owners - its just one off-road enthusiasts opinion. I wish everybody good luck with there Jeeps and getting this issue resolved.
PS - I just wanted to add. I have never sold a 1 year old vehicle. I always keep my cars and trucks to about 80k or 90k miles. This is not an easy decision and I am sure will cost me some money but Jeeps do hold there values pretty well so we shall see.
