Consumer Reports strikes again

Your Jeep so ugly, they can't show it on TV because it violates decency rules.

I think I've seen your Jeep, it's legit, if it's the one I think I saw. Were you staying at Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone mid-September last year?

Must have been someone else. But thanks! I was in Idaho in Sep this year for the Idaho Vintage Jeep Rally.

23 JLU Willys XR 2.0T. 0.5 inch spring spacers, TrueTracs front and rear.

OMG, I think I totally asked for this (or stepped in it). "Yo Jeep" jokes - love it.

Where are the all caps? You disappoint me more than yo Jeep.

I gotta admit, getting in a combo was a good one.

Love all the anecdotal examples. Owned about 20 vehicles in my life, 3 of them Jeeps - not a single issue. My worst vehicles were the 2 Toyotas I owned...constant issues, plus the most boring vehicles ever made. The major difference is that I never cared enough to be on Toyota forums complaining about them...the lesson here is that opinions found on forums are probably not very representative of the actual stats, a large part of forum particapants are the top 5% fan boys and the bottom 5% malcontents,

I don't know over the last week I think I've put quite a bit of coolant in my Jeep... I'm starting to get worried. So the weekend before last I did an oil change and noticed the coolant reservoir was pretty low and topped it off. The morning after I got back from the Jeep jamboree (this past Sunday) I had to top it off again... Less than a thousand miles and it already needed coolant again.

Not sure where the coolant is going because there's no apparent leaks and I don't smell coolant under the hood either.

Still less than 22,000 miles.

The Sun shines on a dog's ass every once in awhile.

I bought my 2L at 42,000 miles. I checked the coolant level and it did not even register on the dipstick. I filled it and checked it the next day same thing. Filled it again twice. Now it's holding its level for close to 6 months. No problem with engine.

F!$K bias as hell CR’s. Top 5 in resale value says it all.

I have a 22 rubicon with XR package.
Have around 50 thousand kilometers with no problems. My other jeeps have very few issues. My 2012 jeep rubicon had almost 200 thousand kilometers with the no problems except for a crank sensor.
It is all about maintenance.
Want it to last then change your oil regularly. I change it mu h earlier than what is suggested by manufacturer.

that’s it. Lack of maintenance is probably why my infotainment system crapped out at 38 months…

I subscribe to Consumer Reports (CR). Will continue to do so.

Is there a magazine that reviews CR ?

Didn't read the whole thread, don't care enough, but incase it has not been mentioned here is a side-by-side they have on their site of the Wrangler against their top-rated SUVs showing off-road capability is clearly not a criteria:

The Bronco is #13, then the Wrangler #14, and the last five are not tested yet so unranked (so why give them a number?) They should really create a new category for off-road vehicles, something like "we have no idea how to test these so look someplace else for reviews".

Love people hating on this, and filling these boards with complaints about how their Jeep breaks down.
