Farewell Jeep and CJDR

[Nuclear_Inc]

I officially got rid of my JT. Nothing but a dealer queen. 3 right axle shafts, rear window leak and scratch up your hard top replacing because of the crap design, slit seat leather from factory, severe wobble when going over bumps. What really put me over the top to get rid of it was finding out all my hood and all 4 door hinges all had paint bubbling due to their garbage painting process. 1 year backlog on doors and hoods because of the strike. Also nearly got stranded and placed in harms way on the highway when jeep went into limp mode because of a throttle body fault. My hard top also had whistling noises in the winter before seals wear out. But honestly who wants to pay 58k for a jeep and have to repaint all hoods and doors at the lowest bidder body shop Jeep can afford. It will never be as durable or good as factory paint. Most people have the paint bubbling come back after 2 years. So glad I got rid of this POS. Never touching a CJDR ever again. Good luck! Get rid of yours while you can because your hinges will corrode eventually. Took 2.5 years for mine. My buddies had his JL repainted and after 1 years it’s all bubbling again because of dissimilar metal corrosion.

My 22 has never seen the dealer. If I had your story mine would be gone also.

Announcement:

Now departing, flight 3365 to Detroit. Vomit bags are available upon landing.

Thanks for letting us know you're leaving. I wouldn't have been able to sleep at night until I found out.

Complains that the factory paint is not durable, and then complains that no aftermarket bodyshop can apply paint as well as the factory?

I think I'll not take your advise and just go ahead and keep my Jeep. Door hinges are not on my list of things to worry about today. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.

There needs to be a special forum topic section for these types of threads @JAY

And by special, I mean one where once they post it, it continues to come up with an error, over and over again.

Well.......... OP went nuclear with his post. Matches his handle.

That many problems. I don't blame him for getting rid of it.

The last Jeep I'll ever own.

Sorry to hear that you had enough. I think it’s good that people vent on the forums. Jeep needs to hear the frustration.
Hope your next vehicle treats you better.

These are not complementary sentences. Jeep does not check these forums. @JeepCares posts here less than one a week on average and mostly just says "send me a pm"

Great, get to use this again................

I don't blame him for getting rid of it, nor venting about a lousy experience. However, trying to get a forum of enthusiasts to "Get rid of yours while you can because your hinges will corrode eventually." is quite ridiculous.
