Only issue w/ mine is the pathetic sun visor retention setup. Luckily the fix is cheap & easy and there's at least two methods to get it done.

Got the new steering gear box TSB done and the earlier steering stabilizer recall, but both of these weren't to the point of being a serious problem at the time I had the parts replaced.

My 2018 JL will be one year old on Sunday, 11/8. I will barely have 6,000 miles. This is the least driving I’ve ever done in my entire life. Thank you, COVID!

Can’t say I’ve had any major issues.

Among the minor issues it’s had:

1. The back up camera failed to work once; it self corrected
2. The parking lines failed to appear on the back up camera once; it self corrected
3. The clutches on the Select-Trac stunk the first time I took it off-road. It was operator error; I had forgotten to engage into Part-Time 4H. Live and learn
4. The Blind Spot Monitor disables itself whenever I have Part-Time 4WD engaged and the trails get really shaky. It seems that is the way it is supposed to work, but it is weird that it doesn’t do it at exactly the same time every time. A design flaw...?
5. Just last week, inexplicably, Bluetooth stopped streaming music, disconnected itself from my cellphone, the 8.4 screen turned itself off, the head unit rebooted, reconnected on its own and picked up where it left off. Hasn’t done it again since.
6. Steering feel is not the greatest but it isn’t as bad as other JLs I test drove

All in all, I am happy my JL has proved relatively trouble-free. But it’s has had enough minor gremlins to keep a suspenseful peace.

2 years and 14k on odo and only one issue which FCA me on.

neighbors tree fell onto my property/jeep and this supposedly “high quality” soft top all of a sudden had a .5” hole in it! Wtf?! Never had this issue with my suburban!!

took it to dealer and they refused to cover it under warranty! FCA!!1! Im so done with jeep!!

other than that major design flaw, no issues.

Wouldn't that fall under your vehicle insurance policy?

I’ve had my 2020 since April. Build quality better than expected. Two minor issues...failed to detect key fob; unhooked battery...everything came back after reconnection. Threw a CEL for wheel speed indicator...reset several months ago, no problems since. I’m guessing the electronics have become so complex an occasional “reboot” might become necessary. I have to reboot my Tesla periodically....and that’s considered normal.

yes it would. But i have $1k deductible i think, maybe $500. My neighbor was totally cool and paid me $500 which is what a new top piece cost. I already had a premium top waiting to go on. Glad that wasnt on yet lol

What about now?

I LOVE MY JEEP!

Purchased a new 2019 JLU Sport left over in June 2020. Had a wind noise in the windshield and a problem with pairing my IPhone. Dealer took care of both problems. I have the 2.0 turbo and love it.

I've had my JL for about 2 years and 6 months. I had a couple of minor issues with my base 5" Uconnect before I upgraded to aftermarket (which was happening anyway). I've had no other issues whatsoever. I love my Jeep.

@Outlawd

Did you have /use your JL last Winter ..... in Iowa? If you did, you know very well, experienced first hand, the defroster issue.

IF you did not have your JL last Winter, this Winter you will remember this thread...

I used my JL last winter, in Iowa. It's my daily driver. I was aware of reported issues with the defrost, but didnt see any problem with mine.

I guess we’re the only two owners that have no defrost problems!

No problems with mine, as long as you don't count the 2 times it has been towed to the dealer for major factory defects that left it undriveable. It's a Jeep thing.

Same here... live in Eastern Canada, cold snowy winters.... no issues with the defrost....

Had my 2018 coming up on 3 years and 38k miles and have had the normal recalls, the only issues I’ve had was had the main battery replaced 7 months into ownership and then had the rear defroster cable come off but both of these items were repaired under warranty and now no warranty but also no issues
