Was just messin with ya man, sittin at home bored wishing I owned a Gladiator.?
it's okay, I know the feeling you are feeling right now. today was hard seeing all the other jeeps with their tops off ?
I understand it’s not the fault of you necessarily, parts can be defective but it should be more rare than it is, like you said especially at this price point.
lol, it’s not cheap… mine was $54,000, much cheaper vehicles around, Jeep is pricy in comparison to a lot but still love them.
And to think, it’s pretty easy to drop an equal amount of cash into modifying them. ? ??
Thats exactly what i would have done!! My Jeep guy's probaly would have told me to!!
I had a ticking noise and it turned out that my U Joint bearing fell out, which caused the rotational clicking noise. The wheel has to be in the right spot to see it, I did find it the second time I looked. The clicking noise which was loud at times and could have been quite dangerous. The C clip used to hold the bushing in can come out I looked it up on the various forums and there are multiple reports. They had to replace my left axel etc. The vehicle was about 6 months old at the time. I hope they are able to pin point the issue. I love my Jeep JTR but I may look into the new Electric Silverado.This is my first sad post and just a complaining one to get attention in general. I've been pro-jeep for 6 months and 10k miles, and now I'm feeling the regret I've read about many times on these forums.
So I am screwed for my upcoming vacation plans. I feel like @ygrignon (except my travel plans are less epic) as I'm now having his exact same problem, I needed a truck and accidentally got a jeep. My jeep has been in the shop since Monday for a ticking noise coming from the engine. Now I wont be able to take my camper for my 4th of July and likely at this rate the following trip on the 12th of July. @JeepCares
Full story my engine started ticking at about 2000 miles in, and when I brought it in 5000 miles for the first oil change I told the service manager to have it checked out with the oil change and first service. Was told it they checked a new jeep and that this is normal on these engines. Now I'm at 10k miles and I know its not a "normal" sound so I scheduled a test drive of a new gladiator and turns out new jeeps don't have a loud ticking noise coming from the engine.
I don't mind that the jeep has a problem, but the fact that there is not a similar vehicle as a loaner/rental and the service is soooo slow due to the backlog of other broken cars, means that I can't take my trash to the dump, and I can't tow my camper to my scheduled vacation, and it is really leaving me in a bind.
This is my obligatory post where I regret getting a jeep and should have kept my tacoma, as at least toyota can fix a truck in under a week.This will impact my raving about how awesome max tow jeeps are in general.
Side note the fricken jeep wave customer hotline 844-JEEP-WAVE has too many digits to be an US phone number and verizon wont complete that call... Shows that the jeep waver hot line here must be coming from Western New Jersey @John in the Woods for the survey! Though if @jeepwave is hiring a customer hotline phone service answer-er I'm 100% ready for the job!
Every car will have problems. I have two Jeeps and have had zero issues with them. However I had a third that was full of gremlins. So it just comes with the territory. Issues still come even if you bought a Lamborghini. It is what it is. Even the precious Toyota has issues. The problem mainly comes when they develop new engines, transmissions, and systems. When we buy a first year model from a major change, it’s what we risk. Keep you head up, it’s one year, everything happens for a reason and maybe this reason saved your life.This is my first sad post and just a complaining one to get attention in general.

Yea, this is partially why I didn't just drive it when they agreed with me that it was a real issue/different sound. I don't know what it is, and I don't want to find out at a campground 4 hours from home
I agree, I think I got over swayed by the reliability reports, there was no way I was buying a 2020, but the end of 2021 after good reports on 2020 seemed safe, especially going gasser the pentastar is a decade old.
At least you got that, I know so many people that got screwed on the diesel. Second, the greatest part (albeit expensive) is that when you break something on it you just put something better in place of it. No other vehicle has the aftermarket support that a jeep does.
