84K on my 2.0 turbo etorque. Lots of highway miles. Three trips out west (from NC), and countless drives back and forth between our FL and NC homes. I'm intending to keep it for another year or two, so I suspect I'll be around 120-130k before I sell it.

Its really amazing how you can have two Jeeps on the assembly line one after the other and the first one can have a myriad of problems and the one behind it is fine. How does that happen?

That's what Quality Control is for. It's a problem for every single manufacturer ever...however it seems Stellantis is one of the few that either doesn't know how to solve it or just doesn't care. It's easy to see how they could just not care...it doesn't affect sales one bit. So where's the motivation?

Maybe it's during a shift change? Or one is loaded with options and one is base? Beats me...

Cars are not "built" from scratch, they are assembled. A car plant just puts together parts from various other subs, hence the statistical occurence of issues. The dash, engine, paints, wiper/window motors were all put together at different stages, have a serial number. They may have been spot tested, sample tested, lot tested, or not even tested at all. It's a very interesting cloud of possibilities that are somewhat ameliorated by QC.

Unless you're Tesla and just slingshot vehicle to testers, I mean buyers.

A lot of those parts depend on the final assembly QC and don't have QC processes of their own. This is pretty standard across the spectrum of automakers because the suppliers that supply the parts supply them to many different automakers, and all automakers have different requirements.
