WARNING! Gen 3. Oil change not possible.

[Meff]

Went in for my free oil change and to have the emissions recall taken care of on Thursday. Three hours later I was told it was ready and went to pick it up. Only then was I told there were no filters, and that it might be a week or so. I left my truck there and now I'm finding out that this has been going on for a while.
The dishonesty is what gets me.
I should have been told when I made the appointment. I'm about to get violent on the next person in a jeep that waves at me, when did that garbage start anyways?
I ordered an oil and fuel filter through docs diesel.
Using it will void the engine warranty.
I'm pissed. Mopar is a scam.
I feel it is criminal and a class action lawsuit is needed but it's the effing lawyers and insurance companies that got us here!

What the hell?
Why will using another oil or fuel filter void warranty? As long as it meets specs, it will not and can not.
Why are supply chain issues criminal?
What have insurance companies got to do with anything at all? they aren't impacting the supply chain!
Jeep can't help the supply chain and shortages.
Where have you been living that you are just now seeing this coming??
Or is this a post to troll?

This has been going on for a couple of years, and it's been talked about with ALL of the major companies. Ford owners can't get oil filters, Chevy owners can't get oil filters. So who are YOU going to sue? Ford, Chevy, Jeep or perhaps Wix or the filter companies? How about suing the government?
Sue your neighbor, he bought the last box of oil filters.
Sue your state - they are paying unemployment.
Sue the truck drivers who are not working.
Sue the dock workers, they aren't working fast enough for you.
Seriously, who are you going to sue? It's a world-wide systemic issue.
Next you are really going to freak over the DEF situation with your diesel - sue the Aussie farmers who used all of the urea in fertilizer. Sue the Chinese - they have money and it's obviously their fault.
Love it- first thing that comes up when people get pissed and don't understand how the supply chain and supply and demand and pandemics work is SUE!

I'd love to hear your explanation of how this is in any way criminal - give details, please, and name your defendants.
What did they do and what was their motivation.

Now there's a war and that's shut down our sources of things that came mostly from Ukraine and Russia - sue Putin. I think many of us would like to.

Where’s the thumbs down? This is ridiculous. And you’re going to get violent when other happy Jeep owners wave at you? Sell it and leave the fun to us please.

People believe that it says "the right to happiness" when it only says the "right to PURSUE happiness."
The rest is up to us.

You do realize you are panic buying and create a shortage artificially? Why would you buy oil filters now when the service schedule is 10000 miles or 5-10K if you want to be diligent?

It doesn't matter what profession an individual is in, spare parts are an essential.

Kindly, gfy.

The neat thing about the Jeep people is that even with a really bad day, when things are really sucking, things gone bad, whatever, when you get that wave, or you come out of a store after spending 4 times what you expected and find a duck on the door handle, the whole day turns around and anything before just doesn't matter any more.

As far as I can tell, the 1960's. Not a new thing, at all. Ducks are new-ish. But the Jeep wave has always existed.

I am in Arizona and had my oil changed by the dealership this morning. They could not source a Mopar oil filter and used an aftermarket brand. They said they have been doing this for two weeks now and don't know when they will get factory oil filters back in stock.

Did the service invoice reflect the aftermarket part or did they slip in the MOPAR part number on it?

Scheduled my first Jeep Wave oil change for next week. Ask the service to check and make sure they had an oil filter for the diesel. He checked with parts and said they have 2. and my name is on one of them. I'm buying the other one when i get there. None of the local parts stores have them and can't get them.

I just scheduled a off cycle oil change at 6k miles cause I wanna use my last wave.
