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?

My JLU Sport ,3.6 with 8 seed limited slip, tow package,14000 miles, off road in Mojave, Moab ( Chicken Corners ). It’s been perfect.

2018 JLU Sport S Auto now with 4500 miles after 6 months. No issues at all.
I'm a first time Wrangler owner, and think it drives totally fine. Love it.

Nothing remarkable in a negative sense with ours. We are quite happy with it. It doesn't rain much here, so the Jeep Drip is most prevalent at the car wash. 11,000 miles and 13 months.

I've had my 2018 JLR 2 Door for 11 months now. Just put 35's on it, no lift, factory wheels. I LOVE my Rubicon. 15K miles and zero issues. This is my third Rubicon, 4th wrangler. It's absolutely my favorite so far.

Just had my oil changed at 7737 miles along with 5 tire rotation. No issues knock wood. of my TJ Sport, JK Sahara and JK Rubicon, i think i like the 19 JL Sport S the best. Whats not to like. Its peppy and still gets 23.5-25 mpg.....depending on the size of my smile.....looking forward to adding some mods. i've put on a bug shield and the stock running boards.....gonna get a bumper eventually, 2-4 in lift and some KO2s.

Update: Jeep can’t be manually shifted into neutral. Pulling on the cord does nothing. Called back roadside assistance to send another tow truck with dollies. They send another flatbed. Called roadside assistance a third time to send a damn truck with dollies. They can’t find any so they told me to call a tow truck company myself and they will reimburse me. Been waiting 3 hours now.
Ya, they should be able to release it through the orange strap. Mine did. Jeep JL's can't be jumped. There are two batteries. The one under the fuse box is the problem. Still don't trust it.

Well I guess I jinxed myself. Drive to the grocery store this morning. Get back to the Jeep and it won’t start. Radio works. Doors lock and unlock. So there’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 won’t start. Waiting for roadside assistance right now.
I’ve had a similar issue. On two occasions, my jeep wouldn’t start no matter what I tried. After about 10 attempts of pressing the brake and pressing the start button, I pressed the button to turn it into battery mode then press the brake and hit the start button and it started right up. Can’t explain it.

I have had only one issue, the main battery. I have 25000 miles, approximately 30 percent off road, very rough conditions in West Virginia and West Texas. Off road performance is absolutely outstanding. I run circles around all other 4x4 vehicles on the right of way. I have used this jeep for work from day 1.

Hey this is a dangerous situation here. You guys are braver than me if I said “My jeep didn’t have any problems” It would be going to the dealer on the hook tomorrow for sure LOL. I’m standing mute.

Got my Jeep in February.
Had to replace backup camera shield
Get stop start system replaced. First the switch then the electric going to it.
Had to get second latch of the center console replaced
Other than that love the Jeep. I do have a problem with the design of the front doors. When it rains and you open the door you do get a flood of water.
