56K on a 2019. I agree with about everything you said, although I haven't really had any mechanical problems at least partially caused by me. Love my Jeep, wish it was made by someone who cared about quality and customer service. That's the only major thing i would change about it.not necessarily. jeep does some pretty shitty stuff.
the failed fuel pump is an issue. i'm looking for a better aftermarket one.
i spent 4 days in cedar breaks utah waiting while jeep fucked around sending the
wrong fuel pump 3 times. the week in the utah and colorado backcountry was ruined.
Z makes a module that defeats the failed sensor. about $160. installed one, have a second
one, just as a spare, in the box under the drivers seat.
now, i'm looking at a proper class 3 hitch to replace the piece of shit class 2 hitch jeep provided.
i'm starting with a Curt, and adding a 2" torque tube running to the main frame rails.
it'll carry more weight than the jeep can pull, which is about right.
the alternator has sporadic issues of not charging.
replacing with a DC power godzilla alternator that will make 3KW at idle. just haven't changed it out yet. maybe this week.
jeeps dual battery with that little POS primary battery failed. went to dual battery
Oddesy group 25 setup. when that little POS battery goes away on the side of the
road, you will have a fun time even getting to it.
had a rear axle seal fail at 26,000 miles. can't replace seal, have to buy a half shaft.
bought it, and had it installed myself. no way would i trust jeep factory service.
the jeep is ok, i don't regret the purchase. i just wish someone other than FCA built it.
i go solo into places it would be hard to get out of with mechanical failure, so it's important
to me. i carry an iridium pager, but it'd be nice if FCA quit designing topographic floor mats,
and colors of paint best left to a traffic cone, and made their shit reliable.
