Again, I'll defer back to what has already been said several times; if the dealer has a reason to believe that failure to do that maintenance is the cause of failure of that part, but the main reason that oil changes are the big topic is because oil needs to be changed multiple times while the...

Serious question, and perhaps I'm just misunderstanding something about what you are saying here, but have that many people in your office had an engine-related warranty claim where there would have been any reason for the dealer to ask for proof that they had done oil changes? Just to be...

It seems like you misunderstood what I said; I did not say that the dealership replaces the engine without checking in with the warranty department to see if it will be covered first. My point was that it is the dealer who is doing the work, the dealer who is collecting the information, the...

So it sounds you had made the dealership aware of the problem, they started an oil consumption test to confirm the problem (when they checked the dipstick and topped it off), and had arranged for a Nissan rep to be on hand when you brought the vehicle back in, to observe the results of the oil...

I haven't put the factory soft top on my Gladiator yet, so feel to take this all with a grain of salt (though I did have a hard top and aftermarket soft tops for my previous Wrangler). As far as noise goes, I would expect the soft top to be louder than the hard top, just because the wind can...

I'd like to note a key point here: Nissan didn't order a new engine on the spot, and for that matter Nissan didn't replace your engine; the dealership did those things, and then they got Nissan to cover the costs under warranty. In my case, I had a brand-new Subaru Outback that was using oil...

Yes. In fact, multiple times. I'm sure it really depends on what the warranty issue that is being repaired is, and whether it could be reasonably caused by neglected oil changes, and I suppose what they find when they inspect your vehicle. I had a Subaru that was using a significant amount of...

My gladiator hasn't been delivered yet, but the dealer said we will get the discount as long as the program is still in effect when we take delivery. Also, an FYI that the dealer I was initially talking to said no discounts, no rebates (in spite of their being an advertised rebate on Jeep's...

To me, I clearly see there being 3 different "offers" on this flyer. The first offer (A), $3000 off a Gladiator Rubicon. Then there are 2 "other offers", (B) $500 of a Compass, Renegade, or Cherokee (with excluded models), or (C) $1500 off a Wrangler or Gladiator (with excluded models). Those...

I think this is where the confusion comes in, because when some people see "build sheet" they are thinking about a sheet from the dealer showing the build vs the "build sheet" from Jeep showing what they are going to build. So for what it is worth, when I ordered my Jeep I sent the dealer a...

I think what they are saying is that they have paperwork from the initial meeting with the dealer, where they agreed on what to order. Then after the order was placed, they got a VIN, and then got a build sheet from Jeep, which did not match what they had told the dealer to order. At that time...

With the sound deadening liner, what liner are you referring to? Lining the floor/tub?

I'm not sure paint would make a noticeable difference; something thicker might. I know people who removed the carpeting in their wranglers, which of course significantly increases the noise level, then reported a drop in noise when they put bedliner on the floor of the jeep (though still...

From the mention of headliner, I will assume you have a hard top. So one of the first things is to make sure we are on the same page; there is some noise that is "normal" for removable hard top (simply because of its construction, amount of sound damping insulation, etc). There is also the...

There is always negotiation; if the dealer you are working with won't negotiate, choose a different one. There's a few referenced on this forum that are offering percentage discounts. You can get quotes from a few dealers and see if your preferred dealer can match them, or determine if how much...

I purchased my membership and got an email from them, but didn't get any instructions on getting the control number; should I just try to sign in to the website now to get the control number? At this point, I negotiated a reasonable price with the dealership (at least, reasonable considering...

What I guess I haven't understood is with Tread Lightly, do they mean you get a discount of 1% of the invoice price (so $500 if you bought a jeep with a 50k invoice), OR does it mean you get a discount equal to the difference between MSRP and 1% below invoice (potentially a couple thousand $ on...

So just to be clear, the discount would be 1% of the invoice price, regardless of what other discounts or rebates I may be getting.

I recently ordered a Gladiator, and since doing so I saw some mention online about the Tread Lightly discount; I'm not very familiar with it, and when I asked the dealer about it they didn't seem to know much about it, but said that if I got my member number before delivery and if Jeep was still...
