Jeep passing jobs have been corroding at welds & hinges

Jeep passing jobs have been corroding at welds & hinges due to 2 diff. Metals built together. Issue for 15+ years!, recalled opens need to be addressed, my 3 rd wrangler and loved it! Great freedom ride, sport driven, outdoorsy attitude, love Jeep Wrangler the makers need to fix this cheap paint job causing our jeeps to rust prematurely!

No. No. No.

Overall a disappointing Jeep experience. This vehicle has had numerous recalls, all extremely slow. In addition to the quantity of recalls, the recalls do no fix the issues. Exterior rusting has already begun as well as serious degradation of the soft top. Jeep will not stand behind it and it has 36k miles. I am overall upset with the important keys of this vehicle. The radio is clunky, the seats are uncomfortable and the build is concerning.

Danger in electronics

We believe is the PCM. The lights on dash come on unexpectedly. Turns off power steering and windshield wipers turn on while driving. Showing all kinds of sensors. We are not sure what's going on. For it to shut down, steering and puts transmission in limp mode while driving is dangerous. It almost killed us. Then it clears up and it's fine one day and then the next day it does it again.

Versatile Vehicle

I am new to Wrangler and have not had it long enough to speak to the overall reliability. However, it has been every bit of what I had expected. I am glad I got the JL as it has many preferred features over the JK. I am keeping mine stock but a buyer can do anything they like to modify their Jeep. It is a true do what you like vehicle, very versatile. Enjoy.

It's a Jeep

Not bad, it's a Jeep. Quality is NOT what it used to be, but I do not regret getting the 2.0L with the eTorque mild hybrid system. great 8-speed transmission, though. I only wish Stellantis didn't make me an orphan as there's no way to get this drivetrain, anymore. Suspension is light years better than any previous generation; CJ, YJ, TJ, JK.

Replace Cylinder Head at 60k miles

I bought my jeep used at 20k miles. My check engine light came on at 60,800k. I took it to the dealership and the diagnosis is that the Cylinder Head needs to be replaced which is an estimated $4000 to repair. Chrysler Jeep would not help at all or back their product. The engine is a poor design for it to fail at 60k miles. I was only 800 miles out of the service agreement. They claim to have exceptional service and their product fails at 60k miles there is a defect in their design. This is a known issue that should be addressed. I have spoke to other jeep owners that have had to replace the same part. Customer service was not helpful at all.

Best 4X4

The new Wrangler JL is out-of-this-world. The new design Exterior and interior is exceptional. I love my Rubicon. When I need a truck, I will buy a Gladiator.
