Do NOT buy this car because of the CVT, you will hate it. What a dog. The brakes also squeak sometimes which I read is a common problem that they can't do anything about. I bought this car 6 months ago and can't wait to unload it.

Piece of Junk

Bad on gas, windows/doors/automatic starter does not work often with remote, dash board blinks off/on, clock resets everytime it's started, acceleration is slow, brakes squeak since 200 miles sometimes and watranty is only for 1 year.....Everytime vehicle is taken in for service, they say everything is good, we can't find anything wrong. It's at dealership for service again and rep notice all of complaints. The truck is a lemon, no doubt.

I am a fan of the moon roof heated seats silver shiny trim on the inside and out. It definitely has park on the beach stamped on it. Open up the back in the large speakers can provide the sound you can vibe to during a tailgate event. Trunk isn't that big but I can fit three large suit cases. I love the easy to clean leather seats they compete well next to luxury compact SUVs. The speed of the jeep is slow but who cares when you're sitting on top of the jeep with your feet dangling inside the moon roof enjoying the salt life at the beach.

Worst rental I've ever had

I purchased a '97 Audi A4 new and owned it for 5 years so I know rental cars. I had everything from a Buick LeSabre to Geo Metros and everything in between (lots of Taurus's) and never returned a car early. My car was totaled last week (not my fault) so I needed to rent a car. I had a Camry for almost a week but it sounded like something was going to fall out of the front end so I swapped it last night for this Jeep. I went back first thing this morning and swapped that out for a Hyundai. I have never felt "not safe" driving a car until this Jeep. Forget the interior that seems more cheaply built than the aforementioned Geo Metro, the stereo that can't cost FCA more than $15 including all the speakers, or the rear mirror that you have to be a monkey to reach, but I have never driven a car with worse torque steer in my life. I drive like a little old lady and I kept finding myself heading toward a parked car every time I touched the gas. This Jeep would be an embarassment in 1980. How can a 2017 be this horrid?
