Yeah, I was done with Jeep, too.The sooner, the better. The dealership closest to me is absolutely terrible. Most recently, the service manager told me one thing, turns around and tells FCA something else. Wasted a month of my time - for warranty service, I now drive twenty miles out of my way to use another dealership.
Bought my latest Jeep through emails with a dealership out of state. Haven’t looked back since.
Funny you guys mention Tacomas. If it wasn’t for my damn height (6’5”) and the god awful seating position, I would have sworn off Jeep by now.
I too remember my high school days with stolen McDonalds food trays under the back tires of my Acura with handbrake pulled.Dealerships are assholes, though it did take me a minute to confirm i was in the JL forum and not a Honda Civic one.
Most Tech's hate warranty work because they are deprived of the opportunity to make more money at the retail level.These stories drive me nuts. First off what is the jeep in the shop for? Second of all is the dealer, and more importantly the service department makes up 75% of the total dealer profit. The dealer gets paid for warranty work as with any other repair. The notion that dealers do not want to do warranty work means one of two things. The customer does not understand that fact, or the dealer itself is not looking out for it's customer. In many cases, dealers/service techs do not want to chase down squeaks and rattles. However it is within their scope of work to isolate, and repair under warranty. I had a truck that made a pulsation squeak at 55 mph. Two techs claimed they could not hear it. I recorded the noise, and sent it to gm, and bam! I got a call, and the truck was fixed. They heard it, they were just to lazy to do their job, and isolate, and fix it. But they got paid for the repair, and my squeak went away.
Very low - the cab is not very tall. So the seat sits so low (so your head doesn't contact the ceiling if you're tall) that it feels like you are sitting on the floor with your feet sticking straight out in front of you. Very uncomfortable off road...and for me, on road also.I've heard this before.... what is wrong with the seating position?
Easier to show than explain. This guy does a good job of it (start at the six minutes mark). Short answer: headroom is crap. Legroom is crap. The entire driver side is a massive blind spot. Feet cannot get comfortable. Disproportional steering wheel distance to driver. Weird and cramped driving position.I've heard this before.... what is wrong with the seating position?

i was just doing burnouts the week before. And my vehicle probably sees red line 30 times a day.
So… what actually constitutes abusive driving?
I had to get a whole new rear end replaced.
Jeep should hire him for torture testing.
I had the common problem many on this forum had. Rear end gears start shredding themselves
