Was that a dig.. I was talking about the sticker price and things aren't suppose to be going wrong in this modern tech age.
I apologize . That was Not a dig at your price . I was referring in general to paying the price you quoted , $50K , for a simple Jeep . Two years ago I paid $25K for a JK , and I thought that was outrageous for a simple Jeep . In 1976 , I could get a CJ for peanuts . Same Jeep , really .

Hard to buy any Jeep for under 10,000 that is in good shape. This is my 7 Jeep counting to 2 I had in Vietnam .
thought this would be my last so ordered the Rubicon with almost everything .. I know it will have flaws and my 17 did but Its my improved from las year.

Update:
During a drive from New Orleans to Houston yesterday we experimented with the heating and found that the waves of heat only happened when the in car air circulation button was activated. We turned it off and for over an hour it was fine and each time we turned it on it would happen again not long after. It was humid outside & it was heat that we had in waves. I’ve commented on another post on this thread that it happened earlier in the year when it was cold outside and I experienced waves of cold air. Until now I’ve always had the incar air circulation button activated to cut down on outside pollen & fumes coming into the car. Reported to Jeep care yesterday & waiting for a response.

Not sure that's the cause...as it has happened to me in both recirculate and with it off.

Just saw your post . 87th Trans ? Did you convoy up hwy 13 to Lai Khe ( 1st Inf Div) ? or were you running from Quin Nhon to An Khe ( 1st Cav ) ?

We got an ambulance Jeep repaired by 11th Trans Battalion in Cat Lai . They gave us a new refrigerator from the cargo docks , and we traded it for a broken-down ambulance Jeep from a SF A-team , towed it back behind our Jeep with ropes and across on a ferry , and then 11th Trans Battalion repaired it to be in good running condition . The Trans had the mechanics .

Some of these guys may not know that the chain under your steering wheel was used to lock our Jeeps .

I have noticed the same thing with the air getting warm while driving but I have also had a wet spot on my floor board. I have an appointment at dealership service to check this out.

I’ve reported this issue to the Jeep specialist and advised to take into my local dealer. I’ve just called them and after 4 attempts and two left messages I finally managed to speak to someone who said that I would have to leave the car for at least a week, pay $50 deposit for a rental car, and the daily tax of $10–12 per day. Unacceptable!

You guys should document the problem with pics or video.

Run your A/C at idle with the recirc button on. Lower your glove box completely in order to view the damper door and cabin filter. Turn recirc button off and you should see the damper door move. The damper door should close off the inlet vent completely. Keeping the recirc button on, observe the damper door over a period of time to see if it moves on its own.

Yep! River Oaks Houston who only a few months ago were bending over backwards to take my money for one!
Sounds like they are full of hot air . Tell them to return your money , then .
