I've nearly 7000 miles on a custom ordered 2019 that was delivered in December. Issues I've had were a constantly crashing dash cluster, the center console handle breaking right away, and defroster issues. Today I can add having my transmission just going. Nothing unusual. I was cruising down the highway towing a light Jeep trailer with an 80lbs canoe and some lifejackets, etc.. We're going around the speed limit when I start to smell burning clutch. I turned off a few miles from home. As my RPMs in any grear climbed straight up my gauges I stopped. No forward drive at all.
I managed to find a neighbor to tow my trailer so then called AAA. They sent a flat truck. The dude proceeds to cut my Jeep loose, it rolls downhill into my now disconnected M416 trailer, which is sitting in front of my buddies truck. There were plenty of frayed, rusted straps. The damned thing looked like The Flying Dutchman. I had to ride in my Wrangler as this old dude hoisted my busted butt up the bed of the tow truck. He was guiding a very rusty cable into an ancient winch using an old rusty ice scraper.
Muh. Baby. It's sitting at a rural dealership. When they replaced the warrantied console cover they had to be shown by me that you have to also swap the lock tumblers...
