Does anyone like their Jeep?

[TrentYoung]

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?

Having a blast with mine and zero issues. You do know that you manifest what you dwell on. Stop looking for problems and just enjoy your Jeep.... or the Jeep gnomes will visit you just to give you what you are looking for!

A resounding YES!
I am on my 5th Wrangler and along the way I/We have also had 2 Liberty's, 1 Compass and 1 Cherokee.
The only one that was actually bad was the Cherokee. A lovely little car but the tranny blew at 50k miles.
Although one of the Wranglers had an issue that was covered under warranty thankfully.

So speaking of Wranglers only, 1) they are fun, 2) they look cool, 3) you can modify the heck out of them, 4) they will take you places that few other vehicles can, 5) they have an undeniable aura, 6) fellow Jeepers wave at you, 7) they have a wonderful history since 1941 and in WWll, 8) they look cool.

My 2019 Sahara Altitude in Granite is simply stunning in all ways. There, does that count as a yes?

I think everyone at first likes there Jeep in the beginning if they can make it out of the dealership without out a complaint. The issues are when you do have a problem you cannot count on your dealership or the factory 100% the time. When you read that someone just bought a new Wrangler and in less than 500 miles broke down and no one knows how to fix the problem……than is why I have lost all faith in this brand. Looks are not everything!

$48,000 Wrangler, with $7,000 in modification expenses.... It's too late to turn back now!!

I love my Jeep! I've essentially invested the same amount into it as you.

This is my first Wrangler. Back in 2019 my wife's Land Rover lease was up and we had to get her something new. Out of the blue I said "let's look at the Wranglers". For several reasons ended up getting a Cherokee, but I was bitten by the bug.

Coming into summer of 2023, the timing was right and I was ready to replace my ride (2014 Audi A5 convertible). I knew I would finally get my Wrangler! Spent months researching, selecting upgrades, and learned that I had to order through one of the recommended dealers so I could get exactly what I want for a very fair price and no hassles. Was fortunate enough to order before the strike and take delivery within 27 days.

Don't always understand why FCA/Stellantis does what they do, and absolutely can't stand most car dealers and repair shops, but I absolutely love my Jeep (and so does my yellow lab Beau)!

There's really no other vehicle quite like it.

I love my Jeep. First trouble last week Start and Stop charging not ready and dealer has it for 4 days now without resolution yet. The said they still performing diagnostic. My Jeep is a year old.

It's the batteries. Time to replace.

Love my Willys and the many many upgrades
2 months ago it was 37 tires this month bead locks
We loved are Willys so much that we bought a Rubicon for my wife
The only problem I have had is with the dealer I bought the Willys from
Seams that I know more about Wranglers then they do

 

[bthomp]

It's an oscillating, rhythmic vibration coming from the axle. Speed specific, not the tires. Does not affect every Rubicon but many. There are a few threads about it.

Forums are always full of problems, in fact the forum is where you come to get help with problems.

I don't think much people hate their Wrangler, I think people hate the failures of the service department.

There are a few of course that buy a Wrangler then complain it's not a Lexus with whisper smooth ride.

If you don't ever have to go back to the dealership after purchase, the experience is very different from those who have issues that can't be rectified.

Laws preventing the customer from dealing directly with the manufacturer also adds to the problem.

Yes, absolutely, tho I use my Ford dinkycar around town. Just installed the RH FAD skid Friday (easy itself, except had to remove LCA skid first, loosening the 190ft-lb bolt was problematic on my garage floor...). Am going to punch some drain holes in the belly pan when I drop it to change xfer and trans fluids. Really like the ease with which I could add things to the jeep. And I still miss my '93 Cherokee...

Your daughter is ridiculously cute! Love the picture. My granddaughter loves Jeep rides as well

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

I can't wait to get in my rig and explore the desert every day. I wouldn't own another vehicle.
