Bought it a month and a half ago and have been getting used to it. I'm still waiting for the new bumper and step-sliders before I'm trail ready, but have done some mild trails. So far it's getting 18-19 mpg. After reading all the comments here, I've been waiting for the steering to fail, the top to whistle and the tires to fall off. None of that's happened. So far I'm delighted. It's very quiet up to about 55-60 and then it does get louder. The steering has always been good, but my impression is that is has "settled" in and seems even better with 1000 miles on it.
It goes to the dealer today to see if anything can be done to improve the XM reception. I drop reception way more than in my other Jeep. I've also had sensors for lane assist and park assist drop out saying they are obstructed. Not sure why but they will check that too. Thats really about it. No other issues with the vehicle.
I am frustrated by auto park and ESS and wish I could disable both. Not the Jeeps fault though. I bought knowing both were there and am learning to live with them. It took three calls and an email to jeep cares to finally get them to send me an owners manual. The first call they wanted $28 to send me one? Kinda pissed me off. I must say that now they have called me twice to confirm with me and is seems I got an untrained rep the first call. They do seem very responsive now.
All in all, I'm a happy camper. If you've been waiting because the forum has all those negative reviews, I'd say quit waiting. I think most of us are very satisfied.
