Does anyone like their Jeep?

[Joe Nichols]

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?

Had my 2021 JLU 3.6L E-torque Sport S Altitude for 1 year and it has 27K miles with no problems. Love the looks and function of it. Don't have an aux battery and no rust problems.

I've put over 30K miles on my '22 Rubicon in the first year. We often drive it from Portland to Southern Cal, Moab, etc, to do some offroading. No issues yet except I had to solve a wobble problem after lifting and putting 37's on it.

Enjoying mine very much.
Only minor issues since taking delivery in 2018, tho I have kept it pretty much stock.

109,000+ miles on my 2019 JLUR. Still love it. I will be out driving the car and running around and see a Jeep and think to myself, I should have taken the Jeep.

I do the same thing. Because the Jeep doesn't have back seats right now, we take the wife Subaru anytime we go somewhere important (I guess as a way of saying it). Every time we do, and I try and Jeep Wave at a Jeep, it's like I don't even exist. ?

I love mine, and I've loved the Jeeps I've owned in the past. But wow is the brand attracting a different crowd these days.

That's what happens when you start trying to attract the luxury crowd. It's not a luxury vehicle, why they're trying to attract people like that is beyond me. Oh well, you reap what you sow!

I've never owned a Jeep before, so far so great ?

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.

Yeah I had a 2016 Jeep Patriots Sport SE, it was FWD and is the vehicle that made me want to get into off-roading.

I did a whole bunch of research into what was the best off-road vehicle that would be in my price range. Somewhere along the way I settled on the Wrangler being the king that it is off-road. I liked how I could get a less technological version, because some of the things that have annoyed me in my vehicles over the years are things like automatic windows and automatic locks, really big obnoxious bright blinding infotainment screens. I liked how my Patriot basically had the 5-in screen, and how I could get that in the Wrangler too.

I used to have a 2001 Toyota Camry, I put just under 250,000 mi on it over 7 years. I was a maniac with how much I drove that thing around. At one point the driver side window actuator went, along with the window channel guide, and I didn't have the knowledge at the time to replace it myself. I paid a shop almost $1,000 to replace all that on an $8,000 car. So I spent 1/8 of the cars value on a single window system. Later I realized that if I had the manual windows on that vehicle the part would have cost me $25 and it would be super easy to install.

My Wrangler is my baby, it is everything I've ever wanted in a vehicle, I will have it to the day I die. It is my life goal to make sure this vehicle is driving for the rest of my life, even if it's completely different vehicle by the time I die.

Personally I think the people who hate on Wranglers and the brand, aren't being realistic. Things change with time, they go different directions, you can't buy something and then say how much you hate it because it's not like it was years ago. That's on the buyer. If you didn't do your research and you didn't ask yourself if it's the direction you want to go, and you purchased it anyways, that's on you!

Wranglers aren't luxury vehicles, I am a little disappointed that you can't get one without the air conditioning removed, because that was what my next Wrangler I will purchase in many years will end up being. So more than likely I'm going to either end up getting a TJ or JK two-door, but who knows at this point. That's a long ways away.

If you don't like Wranglers, go complain to the people on the Toyota Forum, they will rub your back and tell you it's okay. Don't come to a place where we love the vehicles we have and bitch about them, you're just going to spawn hate in your direction!

Do you have history with jeep? Is this yr first jeep???? Give it time. I love my jeep but don’t like “the jeep” things that happen especially when at the DEALERSHIP. It’s too much money for lacking quality.

Yes, I enjoy my 5th Jeep. I have a full size truck and a Porsche Macan and our Jeep Wrangler is our daily driver. The Jeep is easy to maneuver in parking lots, it is comfortable, the I4 turbo has plenty of power, with the rear seats folded it provides a large cargo area, and it tows easily behind our Motorhome. There are literally tens of thousands or more jeep owners out there who are not on this forum and are satisfied with their jeeps. Most online forums are used as a complaint form or question-answer. Got a question, it can get answered here faster and more honestly than a Jeep service center.

That's not what I was referring to. Jeep has had a long history of being the more expensive 4WD, everything from the Cherokee (XJ) to the Grand, Commander, and now Wagoneer. That's nothing new, and things like heated accoutrements and driver assist technology are commonplace these days so it makes sense to offer it on the Wrangler as well. Supply and demand is what it is, as long as Wranglers are selling, Stellantis is using its market power to elevate the price of Jeeps.

I even love the lifestyle crowd, they have a place here too and we should welcome them with open arms. I don't mind that people want to buy a Wrangler for vanity or because they're cool. These people help sales immensely, and they make for a nice market of gently used Wranglers with accessories. Come one and all, rep our Jeeps, be Jeep influensters, pass those Ducks around. The world needs a little fun and light-heartedness.

I'd bitch and complain about what I'm actually referring to, but then, I'd be one of them.

I've owned 2 GC's in the past and I loved them, both Hemis. I came from a Ford Focus ST before getting my Wrangler. I needed the Wrangler because I fell in love with driving a manual and needed a 4x4 vehicle to handle the terrain where I would be relocating and it needed to be a manual and Wrangler was the only vehicle to fit the bill! I absolutely love her, despite her clutch burning up the night before getting the recall email. No problem if Jeep doesn't know what to do....I invested in an aftermarket clutch and she was good to go 2 weeks later! I love being able to go places that not many other can! I love being able to help others get unstuck if need be. I love getting admiration at the drive thru when they see her muddy ass pull up and my answer to the question, "where do you go mudding" is always, "this is just from my daily commute." While the corporation has their problems, the vehicle itself has served me well!

Loving mine.

Shoot man, I'm loving your driveway!! Can I get a picture of the house?

 

[Ladyt618]

I want to like mine, but it is currently at the dealership.

I feel you on this. Mine was down for 3 months last year after hitting an elk. It was sooooo wonderful getting her back!! I noticed the stealership did NOT replace certain parts that GEICO paid for, but I refused to go back inside because I was just so happy to have her back!! It will be wonderful once you have her back!

Thanks and sure. It is a bit challenging to get a pick of the whole place b/c of the layout.

Here is house with wife’s mini in the driveway. Shows the courtyard there if you look close. And my Jeep next to the garage getting the battery charged. The 3rd pic with the Jeep that tree on the left is called an Kigelia or “African Sausage Tree”. If you look close you can see the vines with flowers and the fruits (sausage or potato shaped). Added a couple of the courtyard
