My JLU Sahara 6-sp manual is a 2018 built in late 2017. It was an FCA corporate unit I purchased as "Certified Used" from the dealer with 12k miles. I have 27k miles on it. Other than the two batteries failing prematurely (replaced under warranty) and the first clutch recall (hose) and pending second recall for the so-called software "fix" Y07 for the clutch, it's been trouble-free. I sure like driving it and originally it was not going to be my daily driver, but like driving it so much, even in stop-and-go traffic, it sometimes becomes the "grocery getter." Only aggravation is the "Auto-On-Comfort" and the heated seats/wheel on automatically with no option to default them to OFF below 40F. Only a/t JL's with this package have the Auto-On-Comfort OFF selection option on UConnect.
Hey, mine was delivered the day after yours. July 5, 2018. The dealership called to tell me it was in, and asked when I'd like to come get it. What a foolish question, I told them I'd be there right away.
I've got low miles but I also get the weekend road trips. Best of both worlds I guess.
My wife is the same way. Otherwise I'd be taking week long drives to explore or visit relatives. I much prefer to drive, and the Jeep has been comfortable even driving 8-10 hours.
The vast majority of owners have good steering. I had a 2018JL and now have a 2019. None had steering issues.Mine turns 3 years old in September, no major issues, I’m one of the lucky ones that got perfect steering. Still original aluminum steering box, maybe quarter inch dead spot.
Only 13k but probably 80 percent of the miles off-road.
So you are leaving us for a Rubicon.
Hell yeah!
My dealer has been calling, e-mailing and sending snail mail offers to trade for new Rubicon since January. Offers to trade for approximately $7000 difference for 2021 Rubicon.
I have a 2018 September build 45,000 miles I have had six cases open for my jeep and the worst part now is there’s a semi coming from somewhere and they are trying to figure it out. I also have my body cracking at the rear quarter panel at one of the seams. I still love my rubicon and I wouldn’t trade it for anything
Yea, they were pretty heavy on the snail mail offers about half a year ago. Some of the offers (if believed) really weren't bad, but I love THIS jeep and I've done a lot to it. And so far it hasn't let me down. I don't want to roll the dice on a new one and start all over again.
