This is on a 2019 Sahara unlimited that cost $52,000. I read a lot of reviews and did a lot of research. Many people talked about wind noise, ride quality, and poor steering as common issues. Then there were water leaks and other various issues. Then I went to you tube and watched every video I could. I learned a lot and was actually very concerned about buying a wrangler. But every person that I talked to that owned one or had owned one said the same thing, "I love it" or I want another one or I wish I still had it". This is actually my wife's vehicle and it is a daily driver and she loves it. It is now 4 months old and has about 4,000 miles on it. We did not by this to replace a luxury crossover SUV because that is not what it is. It is what I call a "fun vehicle" that puts a smile on our faces. We have had no issues and it is much better that we had expected after all the negative reviews. The noise level is a 67db with the roof off while my quite as a mouse F150 is 62db so yes it is nosier that luxury SUV. Very happy with the 24 MPG it gets even though it is less than the 33 I get in my Honda Accord that I drive 100 miles per day. But WE bought this thing for what it is a FUN, FUN, vehicle and that it is. Warning the first time you take the top and doors off you will need to turn your cao around and put on sun block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great for what we wanted.

Edmunds prompted me for an update so here goes: I bought the 2019 Wrangler at the end of January. Since then I’ve been off road and on the interstate. I had the top and doors off for a couple of those months and I’m looking forward to taking it apart again in a couple weeks. I was okay with no doors at 55 mph but I don’t think I’ll try it at 75 mph. The Wrangler has been absolutely trouble free. It’s headed in for it’s first service interval in a week or two. I couldn’t be more pleased with the 4 cyl turbo and the 8 speed auto (over priced option as I mentioned before) is top notch. I see a lot of stop and go traffic and the Wrangler does just fine. Overall I’d say I’m doing better than 22mpg. The nav is pretty amazing. If the radio is on the turn display appears on the dash between the tach and speedo. I have a couple very minor issues, none of which should be a deal breaker. Visibility from the rear view mirror is much improved with the rear headrests down, and the owner’s manual is a little sketchy on some operations. I found what I needed on-line though. I think the foam headliners would be a great add. When the temps here are over 100 the a/c is cranking. They’re available after-market (like a million other things).

Nobody buys a Wrangler for how well it drives. The Jeep is super customizable, can drive in any weather and is super fun. They did a great job modernizing it without taking away from its core values from 1944

2019 2Dr Soft Top with Standard Transmission 8Kmi

This is my third Jeep (CJ/JK previous). I ordered this Jeep from the factory due to a lack of availability in the configuration I wanted. Overall it's been great and the new style soft top is the best I've ever seen! I've had a few minor problems outlined here: Steering: I noticed the wandering reported by others from the day I drove it off the lot. I really didn't pay too much attention to it because my old CJ-5 wandered a bit too back in the day. Had the damper replaced under recall (2 hours at my dealer) and the problem disappeared. Seat Release: The passenger seat release used to access the back seat area broke at about 6.5K miles. I could still open it using two hands but it was a hassle. Dealer replaced at no charge. Will see if it recurs. Throttle: Noticed that the engine will continue to rev up even after the pedal is released. It only lasts a split second, but is noticeable and I'll be watching it closely. Shifting: I hear an odd noise when shifting from 2nd to 3rd while accelerating hard. Sounds like a rattle or vibration, but it doesn't affect performance so it may be a cover or something. Does not happen during casual shifting that I can tell. Gonna wait this one out. Overall very happy with my purchases. Jeeps are great!

An unsafe and overpriced vehicle

There are over 334 complains for new JLs with death wobble, bad steering and bad welds. There are open investigations and insufficient recalls. It is ridiculous, they are putting drivers lives in danger on a car massively overpriced starting at $32k+ for what it is, a very basic and unreliable vehicle with poor quality and poorly made components, this car MSRP should be well under 24k. The 2019 model was unchanged from the 2018 JL, hence the same problems persist. They should have upgraded the steering and started to properly weld frames like other manufacturers. The steering wonders side to side, once you hit a pothole over 60 the whole car shakes out of control. Welds on the frame are incomplete and too shallow, some are completely separating. Seriously, this should not be happening and FCA doesn't care, will they wait until someone dies to start making real positive change besides pocketing from consumers.
