Seems like it's just one negative story after another, some jeeps have problems, it's very frustrating I get it! I'm certainly not rubbing it in to those who are. At this time, I'm not having any problems and I really & truly hope it stays that way. Right now, I'm just enjoying my Jeep. On road, off-road, after market accessories, it's a blast to drive around.

Is anyone else having good luck and enjoying their Jeep?

One year and a little over 8K miles in and I'm still thoroughly enjoying my Jeep. I still look back at it every time I walk away.

Love mine, just did the 4th oil change today. I do hope everything stays in good working condition down the road. I’ve learned a good amount of knowledge from this forum and YouTube and I’m hoping that I can take care of the future issues all by myself without having to deal with the dealership.

My previous Grand Cherokee Summit worked flawlessly for 7 years before I traded it in for the JL. I enjoy the JL more than any other cars I have owned.

On the other hand, I do hope the JL comes with bulletproof body panels like the Cybertruck.

This is so far the best Jeep I've had. All of them had some problem from death wobble to transmission to water pump. My current one looks great and has a few bruises and sometimes pops and rattles, but I still love being in it, looking at it or modding it.

No! I'm not ashamed! I think all the negativity towards jeeps lately has worn me down just a little bit. If I was a first-time buyer and spent some time on this forum, I'm not sure I would buy a Jeep.

I'll raise my hand for this one...Currently on my second JL and loving the 392! ?

They are a great stock package to start with, but they are also such a fun blank canvas to play with in so many ways!

Can't it be both?

Yes, I really like 2018 Sport 6sp 3.6L. It drives well, it’s functional, reasonably powered, and get pretty decent mileage, and shifting is smooth. Needs different differential gearing, clutch isn’t the best feel, gear gaps are a bit much, but I’m used to it. Rear defroster wire broke, and had Serv 4WD light, which I think I fixed (it was intermittent so I need drive a few more weeks and see if it is fixed). Overall Jeep quality isn’t impressive, but mine has been fine.

I have owned a lot of vehicles over the years, the Jeep is versatile and overall I really like it.

30 + years of Jeep ownership here. On the road or off, I enjoy both of mine immensely.
I also like working on them. That’s inherent with Jeeps and I’m not sure a lot of people realize that when they buy one.
Both have had an issue or two but I’m fortunate to have an excellent off-road shop to go to and I’m able to do the majority of work myself.
They aren’t for everyone and I guess some people find that out a little too late.
