the problem is the Jeeps are built in other countries some of the parts of my piece of rubbish had to come from china
Met a bloke in Albany WA who was driving a new Jeep and he said it was the biggest heap of crap he had ever driven and he wished he had never bought it.

obviously they are still as bad as they always were they have no chassis mine pulled the rear end clean out quote to repair from 3 different shops $ 10.000 and they would not guarantee it
Hi, I am new to the JGC ownership, but I must say there are a lot of bad reports on these forums about the Jeeps, "I knew a bloke who knew a guy who's brother said his mate had a **** Jeep". OH for real.
I class myself as a fairly anally retentive type of guy, and I did a lot of research into my purchase prior to buying.
I bought a 2014 JGC Overland diesel which tows a 2.5t offroad van with ease, gets great fuel consumption and in the 2 years I have taken it to some nasty places,
with and without the van.
Some people are talking of experiences they have heard off or may have even had, but are not giving the full story or admitting to the fault of the whole story.
Yes Jeep had some issues in Oz, yes they had some poor service dealers, but if you continue to look these are being sorted if not have already been sorted.
The new CEO of FCA Australia has already made in-excess of $800 thousand dollars reimbursements and replacements to Jeep owners in the last 6 months.
The na sayers will continue with the negative speal, and yes some is justified, but be real other so unbreakable models have had just as many (Percentage of recalls to sales) recalls

as other brands.
Just saying, be real about the story.
With you Eno while I was back in Oz this week I checked that my 2018 GC Limited will be ready for pick up when I get back home in April. I got sick of hearing about all the so called Jeep problems because when researching what tug to buy the experts who ran then down were usually people sitting around campfires who had heard it from their mates, sister who had a cousin who knew someone who once had one. Jeep did have a number of issues with transmissions prior to changing to an 8 speed box in 2015 but they seemed to have that sorted out now. As far as I know the GC I ordered has been manufactured in the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan USA. My only regret is that I didn,t pay the extra 10k for the Overland and got the self adjusting supension.
