New record - Totaled before I even picked it up

[mjsull]

My Jeep Wrangler Rubicon finally made its way to me.. Let the good times and happy miles roll. Jeep did a great job on journey #2 thru the manufacturing and distribution process. Replacement vehicle order date - 04/27. D1 - 04/29. Delivery to dealer 05/25.

I'll be posting new owner experiences in a few days in the appropriate threads.

Well, I have a tale of woe.

I ordered my Rubicon on January 19 and it went into KZ status on 3/6 with an eta the end of March. It got stuck in Toledo because of the railcar shortage. FCA management got involved and arranged to directly truck ship my Jeep and a few others for the Las Vegas market.

The truck was due in Vegas today. It arrived but just before reaching the dealership the driver went under an overpass that had low clearance. My Wrangler was unfortunately the top front car and took the impact. It was totaled.

FCA is pursuing two options right now. They're looking for an identical configuration in the Western US and they are submitting a "frame replacement" that will go into production in the next few days.

Meanwhile, I'm trying tio keep things in perspective and realizing that other than this entire Wrangler ordering experience I've had a blessed life. If this is the worst that happens to me I'm still in great shape.

More people need to have the outlook and positive attitude you've got my friend. Hope things work out for you!

This guy... smh jk. Those rock rails, flares, wheels and tires look like they are salvageable as well

Sorry for your loss OP. I’m glad they are making the effort to take care of you!

They have to put something there besides the sign because some people are just to stupid to even read the sign

No, that's the code they use to say they are going to put a new build at the front of the line for him at the factory so that he can get a new one more quickly.

Just what he needs FCA to hurry an order and skip through more steps of quality control than the steps they already blindly skip.

Bummer... I wonder if they would sell me those bumpers for cheap

you gotta find where the yard company the insurance uses. This is the delivery companies fault.

It would go through exactly the same quality controls as every single other JL going down the production line. It just jumps him to the front of the pre-production queue. There would be no quality control steps skipped.
