Expect it to be shipped the the dealership, BUT they canāt sell it to you until the STOP ORDER is removed, which Iām told is earliest by the end of the month. Realistically itās the end of March/Early April before this gets going.I'm expecting my new 6 speed 2 door Rubicon to be shipped on Feb 18th (friday). Dealer told me everything is on track. Should I expect it not to show up? I read through the posts and it sure seems that way. I'm confused, depressed
You donāt think fix will be implemented at the factory? Feel like dealers would get over crowded taking months worth of orders and having them all sit in lot.Expect it to be shipped the the dealership, BUT they canāt sell it to you until the STOP ORDER is removed, which Iām told is earliest by the end of the month.

^^ This and now Iām paying 50k for a Rubicon that will have torque reduced while rock crawling if the clutch gets warm. Sorry but thatās a bullshit āfixā for a vehicle thatās supposed to be one of the most ācapableā off road. Maybe performance wonāt be noticeably impacted but I donāt see how.Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm paying first world money for this jeep, so I'd kind of like them to be able to deliver one within three months of when they said they would.
didnāt mean to start such an uproar! Wish trying to laugh at our extremely annoying situation because thatās all we can do.^^ This and now Iām paying 50k for a Rubicon that will have torque reduced while rock crawling if the clutch gets warm.

I was about to buy a Tacoma before the Jeep.Even if these issues, would not trade my manual JLR for an automatic.
Hopefully, Jeep will properly the clutch issues (e.g., get rid of the dual mass flywheel BS and go with a simple and larger flywheel, PP, and disk). FCA's "fix" of using software to fix a mechanical issue is pile of BS.
Hoping that Jeep will come out with a proper fix. If not, looks like an aftermarket clutch system is in my future.
Not sure if I should admit this here, but...
My 2012 Mustang V6 (Commuter car for ~100 to 120 mile round trip to the office) has +218K on it. Was looking to purchase a truck with a manual gear box as a replacement vehicle. Currently, there are only two trucks on the market with a manual gear box (Tacoma and Gladiator). In many ways, the Gladiator is a better truck, though it is hard to beat the reliability of a Toyota. All the BS going on with this clutch thing and the other ridiculous issues with Jeep/FCA, a Taco has been ordered. The Tacoma was not my first choice, but I need a DD to be available and dependable and not sitting at the dealership with long lead times for parts, software detuning, etc. I am hopeful that Jeep/FCA will get their act together, until then, I'm stuck in a Toyota. (Flame away...)
Careful with the Taco, dude. I have had three and two of them have been plagued by driveline vibration issues. Wonāt even get into the mods Iāve done to chase them out. Anyway... test-drive carefully and if you feel ANY hint of vibe DO NOT sign the papers.I was about to buy a Tacoma before the Jeep.
It wasn't too comfortable, but it will run forever. My wife has had a Rav4 for over 22 years. We will trade the current one in for another, but a hybrid this time. Always dependable and great mileage.
I'm actually curious what the new Tundra will bring.
Enjoy your Taco.
Oh and check the frame. For some reason they have worse frames than Jeep. Get them sealed inside and out. (Love Colorado low humidity and high mountain air for not rusting out things as bad.)Careful with the Taco, dude. I have had three and two of them have been plagued by driveline vibration issues.

I have the same ship date. Let me know if anything changes for you and I will do the same.Some glimmer of hope for us waiting for our Manual Jeeps. Dealer texted me today that my estimated ship date is 2/24 (moved from 2/13)
Whether I'll be able to get it then is another story but at least it wasn't just pushed to March
Yes the fix might be fixed at the factory. But Iām not sure when they will have them fixed. I still think the timeframe will be the same. I hope Iām wrong.You donāt think fix will be implemented at the factory? Feel like dealers would get over crowded taking months worth of orders and having them all sit in lot.
