Why? Same transmission as used for a while, same engine as used for years, same front suspension and steering, same cabin............ it wasn't "new" really. It was a combination of existing parts put into a new model.
I love my Jeep don’t get me wrong but I feel as one thing that could definitely be more consistent in quality is paint job.
i think the quality of the parts being supplied could also be impacted by the human capital shortages. Like all the tops on the broncos.
I think you are wrong bigot on this. When there are parts shortages, standards drop. What would have been rejected makes it way to the line. As a former automotive supplier, I know this first hand. A very common tactic we used to employee when we felt they (particularly Chrysler actually) were being a little unreasonable, is we would take our time”working them back into the production cycle”for replacement material. We’d then resend the product. I would say it worked better than 95% of the time. We only did that when we were confident our product was good, but the shop that built the tops for Jeeps was right down the street.Worst operation I’ve ever seen, and they’d often get so far behind that Jeep would often send someone down to cherry pick the best defective tips they had for assembly to keep the line moving.
The Bronco top was a shit design, not poorly made. Proof? Ford didn't go back to Webasto and say "make it better, assholes" they had to re-engineer the whole thing.
You’ve got me there big time. Lol. I was going for the sentiment more than the true comparison. More accurate may be “I’ve never made a help me fix my Jeep post”. ? My Toyotas have been for around 200k of hard use…no comparison yet.
