Does anyone like their Jeep?

[jessedacri]

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?

This post appears on every forum since the beginning of time. You are on an internet forum. Forums are literally built so people can come together to diagnose, troubleshoot, and otherwise look for solutions to both common and uncommon issues about a particular product. Of course you are going to see all of the "negative" experiences, this is literally the intent of a forum - to concentrate questions, answers, and solutions in one place. It has no bearing on how prone a particular product is to issues.

Go to any forum for any product - Toyota, Apple products, guns, home networking, VR headsets. It will be the same. People don't seek these places out just to exclusively say "hello! no issues here!" - just like people don't call tech support and wait on hold to tell the rep that they're simply enjoying their product.

I enjoy my JL and for the most part it's been issue free. At 1200 miles I had a catastrophic heater core failure that had the Jeep disassembled at a dealer for a month, my 2-door front seats have been permanently stuck in the folded forward position, the notorious plastic oil cooler has leaked and needed replacement and I've bent a front axle housing. But now at 55,000 miles and the vast majority of it has been lots of fun wheeling and daily driving.

I like my 2020 Rubicon unlimited. I don't like it needed 2 batteries at 25K and 2 years old. I don't like that every panel on the Jeep has the dreaded corrosion issue. I don't like the way the dealer pushes your repair out as far as they can to get you close to no warranty. So you hear negative because they have issues that's not being addressed by Jeep. Lets be honest Jeep Cares not really any help!!

I sure do. I've had the crappy aux battery issues, two bad pinion seals (not Jeep's fault), and a CEL while less than 20 miles after picking it up brand new, but it's been a blast! It's a great commuter despite the 3.5" lift and 37"s, and it's taken me places I would have never seen other wise. Even my wife has grown to love it! That's sayin' something.

I bought my '21 JLUR-XR 3.6l eTorque used with about 10,500 miles on it. I just hit 21k. So far it's been great, no major issues. It did go back to the dealer for some warranty work on the rear doors, both were a bit crooked and the top corner of the doors starting rubbing paint off the door frame. They adjusted the doors and repainted the entire door frames.

5 years and 80,000 miles later and I'm still loving my Jeep. No major issues so far.

‘24 Rubicon X. Loving it! So capable. Liking the UConnect as well, which came as a pleasant surprise given prior experience.

I like mine, 2022 Mojave, Sarge Green. Traded in my 4Runner for it (gasp!). I've had issues, but it's a beautiful vehicle, way more power than my 4Runner, more comfortable ride than my 4Runner, tows better than my 4Runner and gets 21 mpg hwy. My 4Runner never came close to that, 16mpg at best.

Thanks for starting this thread. Been wanting a new Jeep but every time I would open this forum I'd get depressed and the fever would die. Been doing this for a couple years now but after reading this thread I'm thinking maybe it's finally time to take the plunge...

I actually do like my Jeep. Miss my JK because it was a stick and more reliable.
If Jeep could just gets the dealerships up to speed it wouldn’t be such a problem. I’ve had a number of problems with my Jeep and most still aren’t fixed. Some are annoying and some make the car unsafe. No loaners and rude people at the dealerships are such an easy fix. I have no idea how they are selling cars in the 70-90k range now with the “you need us” attitude.
I’m waiting on a buyback offer and will likely miss my Jeep a lot. I won’t miss the rude comments from the service departments and garbage build quality.

HA, not getting rid of it yet! That's my trail rig buddy, we've been through a lot together. Figured keeping it would keep me from taking a $60 rig out and beating it up on the pretty extreme outings I go on with my Jeep club.

I have a 2019 JLUR and I’m about to flip 120k. I’ve had this Jeep since Nov 2018. Every morning when I get into, it STILL makes me smile. I love my Jeep.
