Yea, I got one of those, too. It is not always convenient to put the cover on, but I figure every day that I do, gives me another day before the tonneau and interior degrades from sun exposure. South Florida.
Weight is not the reason. Look at the geometry of the rear doors. There is nowhere for the back part of the windows to go down. On other cars with similar door shape, where the whole window goes down, it does not go all the way down.
I will have to take this at face value since I don't want to invest the energy to investigate it myself. (At least on the forum)
I wonder why there is nothing in the manual about this? Basically the manual implies that you can set the temperature and forget it (at least in AUTO mode), which for...
There is the issue with loose steering, that affects some small percentage of Gladiators and JL Wranglers. No one knows what the percentage is, but for a few owners it has been an important issue.
Jeep has acknowledged the issue and has issued a Technical Service Bulletin to dealerships...
Yes. That may be one reason "the same 4 questions asked 30 times a day". Another is laziness. Another is most threads get hijacked after a while, so rather than wade through all that its easier to start a new thread.
I have noticed if the outside temperature is only a few degrees higher than the temperature setting, it blows warm air until i lower the set temperature somewhat. Don't know if this is defect or just the way it works.
Well, it is reliable if you maintain it.
Seriously, there many threads on here complaining about one issue or another.
Also threads where many folks said "no issues".
Your question is overly broad. What are your concerns?
I have a stock Overland with MT.
Just returned from a 2000 mile trip - Naples, FL to Richmond, VA and back.
Going up, towing 3500 lb. 17.5 MPG. Typical speed 65 MPH.
Coming back, no tow, 24 MPG. Typical speed 65-70 MPH.
Most driving was on I-95.
How Long - Perhaps as much as 20 years. I kept my Dakota 16 years, but drove it 22K per year. This one should get much less miles, at least after I retire.
Lift - None.
Tires - Currently stock (32"), no plan to go bigger than 33" but really don't want anything wider than 11"
Agreed.
In older cars, hot air coming from the defrost vents removed condensation from inside the windshield because hot air can hold more water that cold air. But the moisture still stayed inside. Modern cars use colder air from the coils for this purpose because it is dehumidified air.
Not to be argumentative, but this seems contradictory to me. Cooling the air causes moisture to condence on the coils and drain outside the vehicle; that does indeed change the amount in the air.
I noticed that on "manual" it still seems to act a little like "auto".
Also, is it my imagination, or does it sometimes come on by itself, when I have it turned off?
