It is a Jeep. You know what you are getting, bragging rights! You own an icon. There are many jelly bean shaped cars out there that may be better at some aspect of being a vehicle. If pleasing Consumers' Report is important to you then get a Jeep want to be. I have owned sub compacts, family sedans, and mini vans. I never wanted any of those vehicles even if they had air conditioned cup holders and a moon roof that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I now buy cars that I like. Two cars ago I had a Mustang, loved it. My last car was a Mini Cooper, loved it. I have my own criteria. Does the car bring a smile to your face? I smile when I think about my Jeep. I am happy as I go down the road. I enjoy owning this car. I have always wanted a jeep and now I have one. It is one big box of fun. What is so difficult to understand about liking what you drive? I still love my Jeep after 89,000 plus miles. Completely trouble free except for a flat tire. I suspect that one of those jelly bean shaped SUV's (there are so many of them) lost the screw that became lodged in my tire. My wife and I have removed the top for some of our summer trips to lake Michigan. She loves the freedom it offers. I am contemplating a bimini top for the warm seasons. It remains everything we had hoped for. It is after all a Jeep and not some nondescript Jeep wanna be. I am absolutely unable to to discern the manufacturer of a Buick, Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Honda, Kia, Nissan, .......SUV without reading the tag. The other thing that they have in common is that they are not Jeeps.

I bought a 2016 jeep unlimited oscar mike jeep. I love driving it. I do have a question thou for everyone that owns a jeep. I bought my jeep in Feb. have taken it to the dealership every month to have my brakes worked on. I have new brakes on front and back. When I bought jeep it always made a squeaking noise. They have tried to fix it but every time they do something it still squeaks. Last time I got it fixed and they put new brakes on my back it now makes a clinching sound every time I brake when i am moving slowly. I was told that is a normal sound of a jeep. If i was aware of that I would of never bought a jeep. When picking up my kids in line for school it makes that noise. I am so embarrassed. Please help my out everyone if this is a nature thing that a jeep does.

Recurring emission leak problems. Over a year and a half now and we've been through 3 gas caps, 1 charcoal canister, 1 emission pump and they are currently installing the fourth gas tank during its eight time in shop for repair. The problem has grown from a minor emission leak to a confirmed permanent leak and now it is out of warranty. That said, they are covering it and claim it will be covered as long as it is the same issue. Every time it goes in for repair, we get an offer for an extended warranty at $2870 with a $100 deductible per problem after the original warranty. They did make the claim that if you don't use the warranty, you get the money back at the end of 7 years.

I've only had my Jeep for 2 months but have already logged over 4,000 miles and for the most part I love it. I bought the Jeep after driving a Lexus Rx300 for 15 years so I was a little worried that I would miss all the luxury of the Lexus but I don't. The car handles well and of coarse is super fun. When shopping for the Jeep I had a few communication requirements that my Lexus didn't have and that was a really good blue tooth and a USB port. Now it's 2016 so that should be standard, and with the Jeep it is. That said, the USB is a complete waste as it doesn't do the one thing I need it to and that is charge my phone. The Jeep's bluetooth is through a system called UConnect and UConnect drains your phone's battery in about 15 mins or less. Thought I could solve the problem by plugging phone into USB, they did an awesome job designing the center console between the two front seats. They even put little groves for the USB cord so you can shut the lid but since the USB doesn't charge, its completely worthless and makes UConnect worthless. I think the higher priced Rubicon comes with a USB that actually charges, but since this is a second car that my kids were going to drive I didn't feel the need to splurge on a Rubicon. I still love driving the Jeep but without a USB port that charges, I can use the UConnect and thus all the great functions in UConnect are a total waste.

Really love the style and durability of this 2016! Drives great on the road and off. Live on a very steep, snow/iced covered road and have NO PROBLEM buzzing up that hill in the worst of conditions. It's a little less stable in high winds on the open road...but I can deal with that. Wish I got a bit better gas millage.....but when you drive 75-80mph I guess one can't expect too much.
