I have to agree. I have a 22 . Just shy of 10000 on it. But drive the hell out of it when I do. Love every minute.

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?
I love mine, 21 month's old 8,000 miles and had the HPFP replaced and no other issues. Makes me smile everytime I drive it. The diesel for me was worth waiting for when I decided to throw down. I can't say I like it better than my LJ but it"s the next best thing imo.

Thank you. She definitely gets it from her mom. I’m still impressed that any time I work on the Jeep she has to be outside with tools too working on it. I’m sure I can find a few scratches from her on the Jeep. But the smile it gives her.. well worth it
As the dad of a daughter, spend as much time with her as you can because they grow so damn fast! Cherish every moment my friend.

Well I like mine. I bought a pretty plain model, all I could fit in my budget. I bought it to take me on adventures in Colorado and Utah and it excels at that. I have not had any significant problem with mine but it shows some death wobble under certain specific conditions.

I love my 19 JLU Sport S. 70K miles…no problems. (Knock on wood). I’ve read about the complaints. Those aren’t my experience.

Formerly owned two Tacomas and loved them. Prefer my Jeep. But those were great too. Spent some time on the Tacoma World website too. This site and Tacoma World are the only auto sites I’ve read. Both seem to have lots of complaints. If you only went by the websites, you’d be lead to believe Jeeps and Tacomas suck. That has not been my experience. Both vehicles have been trouble-free…but I love my Jeep more.

Love my JLR! It’s a 22 with 34,000 miles and I put roughly 60,000 on the 19 JLR I had before this one. Go anywhere. Do anything. Having a Jeep has enabled memories that simply wouldn’t have been as possible for me.

LOVE mine!
21 rubicon 3.0 with 3.5" game changer and 37" Mickey Thompsons. Getting 25 mpg on average. Have banks, so more torque and better throttle response.
50k miles and no issues.
Initially bought it because the torque was amazing at low RPM, but noticed the incredible MPGs, which I didn't care about when I had a JK with the 3.6 (14 MPG average on 33s), but 25 MPG on 37s is nothing to complain about.

Almost 18k miles at 1 year and 3 days and shits the tits. Had some build quality issues to start my ownership due to being a thanksgiving build but that got sorted out and its been nothing but a dream to wheel and drive since.

Cant let the doom and gloomers bring ya down Flip they will find something to cry about from the constant every year demise of the 2 door and manual to the fact that some people want a fancy jeep rather than a rattle box with an am/fm radio and only half doors.

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.
This is the nature of internet chatter — and people in general. It’s not a Jeep thing.

- People reach out for help when they’re experiencing problems.
- People vent when they’re unhappy.
- People don’t tend to write their senators, talk to the news media, or post on the internet when they’re delighted with a new product.

This isn’t news.

Take it from an old guy…. You can make it through this challenging time. ;)

I love my jeep. It’s my 4th wrangler. First JL.
BUT… first rig I cannot get warranty service done on. Been to a few dealers in a few states and keep being told go back to purchasing dealer. Purchasing dealer is no help since they don’t have a body shop and are offering no help or assistance. The hinges where the door pins go in are too big and my doors rattle and sit loose and are rubbing the paint off the tub and doors. The rear gate doesn’t sit flush and is crooked. I get an incessant rattle and is also rubbing the paint off.

Had my rig damaged at one dealer who refused to do anything about it and then threatened to kill me when I showed them the proof. Corporate did nothing, police did nothing.

50k+ on a vehicle with a warranty I cannot use on a vehicle with 9k miles. Been trying to get this fixed for 8k of those miles. The get told pay out of pocket because non purchasing dealers refuse to do work since I didn’t buy from there and try to get reimbursed from Jeep corporate.

I’ve had to personally fix any issues I’ve had with this since I’ve purchased it. Had constant pull to side, fixed myself. Awful loose rattle in dash, screw was rolling around, dealer couldn’t hear it. Fixed myself. Weird play in steering, cannot reproduce. Fixed myself. There’s more lil things that I did myself. But GD.

Worst part, I’m unable to fix stuff right now. I herniated discs in my back at work and cannot lift the doors or spare/gate etc.

So yes people may love their Jeeps. It’s just the Jeep experience is so shorted by incompetent dipshits at the dealerships and at the corporate level.

Is worst experience I’ve ever had with a manufacturer. Again this stuff is why people like me love their Jeeps but f’ing hate Jeep.

Are the pin bushings missing? may just need to order some of these and fix it yourself.

I wish it was this easy. The actual hinges even with the inserts are too large for the door pins. You can grab the corner of the door when it’s open and rock it up and down. Probs 1/8” of play.
