What are the chances my new 392 was a EJS Press vehicle

This is funny

Goin2drt. Read your recent posts on other threads. You don’t sound happy with your 3.6L JL or anyone else for that matter, whether their getting into a 4XE, Bronco, 392 or a new house. Not sure if it’s jealousy or just old fashion trolling.

My issue will get resolved. New cars show up with issues, this is my 10th or 11th brand new car in 5-6 years, believe me, I know. I paid 140+k for a new G63 only to have it show up with a stained hood and bent lower control arm. Mercedes put me in a loaner and made it right so I bought another 4 years later.

I have faith in my dealership. Worst case scenario I have the undercarriage cleaned and coated on their dime, best case, trade it back in and pick up another.

Great attitude and totally agree with your approach. Good dealerships will make it right for you regardless from my experience.

Not jealousy or trolling. You asked for advise. If you don’t want someone’s opinion or advise then don’t ask for it. You presented the situation. I told you what I would do.

Good for you. Glad you have bought 11 cars and a G series. You sound like the troll letting all us folks know you are the baller here. Sorry I gave you my opinion. Enjoy your 392.

@BCMgunner Is it possible that the delivery truck went through that recent sand storm around Arizona? I saw some video of it. It was a super bad sand storm with very high wind.

Possible. I’ve heard of sand storms in New Mexico as well.
These initial 392s did spend a lot of time parked in storage and on the rails during delivery.
Thanks for the idea.

BCMgunner, Sorry to hear about your experience, I know you've been enthusiastically awaiting this a long time. I know these where definitely not the pictures you were expecting to be the first postings of your 392. No matter what anyone says, it would be frustrating as hell taking delivery and seeing that within the first 24hr. Hope your properly taken care of.

@BCMgunner That really looks like someone took it on a beach. Between the fine sand and the rust, I’d bet somewhere along the delivery route it got taken for a joy ride.
I’m glad to hear your dealership is working with you. The one I go to, and buy from, is also outstanding and cultivates the customer/dealership relationship. It’s a small town and everybody knows everybody else. They can’t screw someone over without it hurting the business. On top of that, the owners are simply good people.
Good luck to you. I hope this gets straightened out in your favor.

Yes the 8.4 uconnect will leave breadcrumbs as it’s always connected by GPS. But only Steallantis can access that. By yourself? No.

Ok, so the dealer can access GPS information for the owner, 26 mystery miles solved..

Man I want this car. I have enough money saved to buy it in cash but I’m still renting and know I need to buy a home at some point here. I can only imagine dropping the money right now and seeing this shortly after. These are the kind of things that bother me but I’m working on trying to let them bother me less. I hope you get it figured out and let us know what happened.

It definitely looks like its been through the sand on the beach. Squeaky Wheel gets the grease.

Found about a 1/4” of sand on my rock sliders when I removed them.
Undercarriage was very dirty and Rust spots noted throughout.
Scratches on interior noted, particularly the front of the cabin.
Arrived with 26 miles on odometer.
Body damage to freedom panel that my dealer is going to replace.

Thoughts? Is this normal or abnormal for delivery?
Interesting how those 392s with destinations north of Moab were delivered just before EJS and those south of Moab were delayed and delivered weeks later.
What can be done about it in general? Any ideas/input appreciated.

Hoping that I’m wrong. Concern is proper engine break in and obviously rust from neglecting to properly wash after being driven hard through sand.

Probably not Moab but certainly it was used, and carelessly. Tough call. If you want another one you may be waiting a while. But who wants to pay any price for a Jeep you ordered new and expect perfect but someone abused in 26 miles? I would be so pissed.

BCMgunner I feel for you, I was looking forward to your upgrades since I am basically doing similar upgrades. .Mine just shipped arrival date at my dealership in Houston is April 27, I’m so paranoid abourt the condition mine will arrive in. Thanks for letting all of us buyers fell your grief and be on the look out for similar problems. I will be stopping by my dealership next week and show them this thread and to be on the lookout for this BS! Keep us posted/updated!

That's a great attitude. If I were in your shoes, I would be pushing for the same... undercarriage cleaned and treated, and maybe even lobby for a complementary extended warranty, but who knows if that would be successful.

Like other's have mentioned, I'd be concerned that getting it replaced might be a problem anyway because of the availability of the 392's. Even if you were successful, and Jeep was willing to, it could still be months before you might see a replacement.

Just my .02

But glad to see you taking this all in stride. Kudos

BCMgunner I was at EJS Moab for 10 days, Jeep had 2 392’s at Safari, one of them was your color in fact I rode in it. The were driven a lot more then the 24 miles you stated. Again good luck on getting this problem corrected.

 

[BCMgunner]

Photos for others to have to show your dealers if needed. Most of the rust is on the front axle, especially around front differential.
Any chance I can ask for another front axle assembly under warranty sighting coating/rust, possible differential structural damage?
Does the lemon law have any place if I take it 3 times for rust on differential considering it came from the factory like this?

Also of note, wheel BS is 6+” from a rough measure with a measuring tape.

I think my 2005 F150 has less surface rust that your "new" Jeep.
