Your 4 posts and 3 threads over the last year bitching have been of high value and a great contribution to the community. The board here will collapse from the weight of you carrying it with such high quality content. Please reconsider not leaving.

Two threads about the same issue. Do people think we can magically right a wrong?

Absolutely the last jeep for me ! The chips from Taiwan , the engine and wiring harness from Mexico, the computer module probably from China, Borneo or the Philippines ! I also have a Toyata TRD Off Road , totally bullet proof !!!

The OP is letting go of some frustration...Best to give him a little kindness. Obviously car issues aren't only w/jeeps but all manufacturers...And it can be very frustrating to get no results after many trips to dealer...

I've been there with my first Cadillac an Eldorado in the 90's. I started thinking along the lines of lemon law...Suspension worked like crap, many times to dealer, nada. Until they sent their suspension "pro" to a class to learn how the cadillac latest and greatest active suspension worked - LOL! He actually apologized to me after that and once he got it to work.

It happens, even with Jeeps too (as hard as that is to believe ;-)) and no the OP isn't imagining it.

no way this is a 'software' issue... we all run the same software ?

DO YOU NEED A TISSUE ?

Let's all take a moment to reflect on the loss we are all suffering from his leaving the fold...

He needs his 'binkie' and a hug. Probably still wondering where his participation trophy is...

That sucks man. It is a sad fact of life that cars break, all of them. Its just too much shit going on these days for everything to work perfect for long. 6 times for the same problem isn't a Jeep manufacturing problem anymore. It is a dealership service department problem. Find a new "Stealership" to give your money to. Oh and Jeep folks aren't real kind when people start calling their beloved JTs junk. Sell it if you don't love it. Go buy a Hummer EV and mall crawl crab walk your way to happiness.

Bought my 2020 JTR used with 15,000 miles via Carvana in July last year. I've put another 15,000 miles on it and have not had a single problem of any kind.

I even drove it from SoCal to Seattle and back last month. Over 2,200 miles in a week and towing a 6500 lb 16 ft enclosed trailer on the return trip. Not so much as a hiccup.

And it HAD occurred to me that maybe the original owner sold it to Carvana because they'd had reliability issues but in hindsight I think it must have been a lease return or one of you guys going for a color change! Lol.
