Farewell Jeep and CJDR

[Jefe1018]

@Nuclear_Inc - I am sorry for the experience, sounds like you truly got a lemon. Will this be the last Jeep you ever own? They are not all that bad. I mean… I have the kids of death ecodiesel and love mine!

Only problems I’ve had in 3 1/2 years, is rear window leak (fixed it myself), and the blackout decal on the hood is peeling off. (1 year warranty on that, took 2 1/2 years to start peeling). So far, the finish on everything else is fine.

These are not complimentary 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"

“These are not complimentary sentences”. Are we only supposed to post compliments?
I have to believe that some info both good and bad makes it Stellantis. If enough people speak up the better the chances are that it’s heard…. maybe

The rear window thing is pretty unacceptable. Mine is having this issue and I do not want to take it to a dealer, though mine isn't *that* bad. Still, you can't make a rear window that keeps the rain out? ffs....

So far I'm pretty happy with my Gladiator, not that it matters in this thread. The interior doesn't have any weird noises after 3 years and everything looks close to new. The only real issue I've had is stupid squirrels getting in and chewing on some wires. I'm hoping mine continues down the road.

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.

The only thing I see you did wrong was not set it on fire over a year ago.

Mine's a manual, so it'll probably do that on it's own.

It's a 2022 to boot, so even though the recall was announced in February of this year, I've been told i don't get a "fix" (sarcastic quotes) until fall 2024.

That's only vehicle fire type there is.

Who cares. Jeep ain't for everyone. Bid em good ridden. If they left, they shouldn't respond on here. Buh Bye

I'd get something else too if there was anything else out there that wheels this well, has a usable bed, and tows as much as this does. I'd get rid of mine real quick if I had any reliability problems, but there just aren't any. My 2013, 2017, and now this all have pentastars and no problems. Nothing. Kind of crazy when I think about it.

I think the biggest gripe is dealing with poor mpg without great power. But I like reliability. So I'll keep mine until something better comes along, if ever.
