Over 9000 miles and my only issue has been nasty trees! They keep attacking my Jeep on the trails! (it surely can't be poor driver skilz)

It's great to hear lots of Jeeps are problem free. One thing I forgot to mention was that similar to others, I checked my fuse box and about 1/3 of the fuses needed to be pressed down further to seat them properly. But it never caused any issues.

3 1/2 months at 3800 miles and other than the weird clicky front end noise when turning at low speed, which I'm not even sure is an actual problem, everything is fine. It was built in March and seems to be free of most of the issues seen with earlier build dates.

Nearly 8 months with nearly some 14,000 miles driven, with the exception of a broken center console lever, my 2019 3.6L JLUR has been flawless.

It has performed great on the trails in the snow, sand, and the rocks. It has excellent road manners, as well.

See.. Now someone other than myself using the forum to correct issues from the factory/dealership that will lead to "my steering is loose"; "I had weird codes";"My radio cut out"; "my GPS doesnt work" and "The Jeep went into limp mode" threads. All correctable if one would just check tire pressure and the fuse box. LOL BTW. My Jeep has had zero issues.

First time Jeep owner. In fact, first time North American car owner. Just reading these threads and am getting paranoid. Particularly with the ESS and battery issues.

I've had my 2019 JLU for almost three weeks now and put around 1000 kms (600 miles) on it. So far (knock on wood) no issues other than water from the gutter dripping into the cabin when I opened the door in the rain.

So how many of you have had zero issues with your JL?
Ignore the noise as much of it is BS from non-jeep owners; older JK owners; and sadly even some other JL owners taking swipes at models/engines/options they regret not ordering.

The only real issue I've had is steering wander and death wobble but have those sorted out. I could have waited and worked with FCA to resolve it but for the $1500 in aftermarket parts to sort it out which I would have wanted to install eventually anyhow I just did the swap and moved on.

I came from owning Diesel Audi SUV's for the past 15 years and miss the toque and mileage of that platform (600 miles on a $45 fill!!) but love the Jeep! It's not nearly as comfortable or polished to drive as my prior vehicle but has a ton of soul; character; and just a bunch of fun to drive and be able to work on it with my son.

I don't regret my purchase at all.

I only have about 800 miles on my 2019 JL Rubicon, but I don't have any issues at this point. No wondering, no steering issues at all at highway speeds around 70. The turbo 2.0 is fun to drive as well.

Well I guess I jinxed myself. Drive to the grocery store this morning. Get back to the Jeep and it wonā€™t start. Radio works. Doors lock and unlock. So thereā€™s some power. But when I hit the start button, nothing happens.

Checked the starter fuse and it seems fine. Even swapped it with the spare and still wonā€™t start. Waiting for roadside assistance right now.
