2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

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.

2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S

Purchased a 19” Wrangler JL with the 2.0 turbo engine. I take very good care of my vehicles and within less than two years and only 20k miles here is a list of problems with my Jeep. 1- uconnect radio is junk! Blacks out and resets frequently, freezes when it wants until vehicle is shut on and off to turn back on, Bluetooth drops all the time. 2- Very scary steering issues (death wobble) when hitting any kind of bump in the road and a few close calls causing a crash in some scenarios. (Had a recall for steering dampener to take care of issue but still exist) 3- RUST!!? Frame weld have rust, I’ve counted over 30 different spots on my frame that have rust forming. The deal breaker for me is actually corrosion forming underneath the paint of my doors and hinges forming bubbles!? I live in SoCal WTH?! 4- Mystery engine misfire but no codes, engine idle is very rough periodically. It does this regardless of what fuel I use. 87-93 still misfires. This is very concerning as it’s very noticeable. Keep in mind I change my oil every 5k with full synthetic and maintains my vehicle per manufacture guide. 5- I paid over 40k for this Fiat/Chrysler Jeep Wrangler. I love this Jeep and the idea of the Jeep, I’ve always owned Jeep’s but the overall feel is just cheap along with the issues I’ve experienced already with only 20k miles on it I will be trading it in for a new Tacoma. I’m sorry but I really would not recommend buying a FCA vehicle. I foresee problems with the new JLs once they start to age in the next 5 to 10 years.

JLU Sport S...very happy customer

I absolutely love my JLU Sport S with soft top and 6-sp manual. Test drove the 4cyl., which had plenty of pep and great MPG's. But I wanted manual transmission, and a tried and true V-6. I loved the Rubicon package, but wasn't paying $50K for a Jeep. Also, I don't go "rock crawling"...just normal off-pavement driving sometimes. And ALL Jeeps are exceptionally competent off-road. So I didn't need/couldn't justify all the extras on the Rubi (but I did love it). Got Sport S because I need (wanted) A/C and Apple Car Play. Jeep must have addressed the steering issues. My steering is tight, the road/wind noise is fine (I can talk on the phone, top up), no reliability issues (knocking on wood), no leaks. OEM halogen headlights were terrible...yellow and dingy. But the "LED package" was way too expensive at almost $1,000. So I went with aftermarket LED bulbs. They were cheap and easy to install...makes me wonder why Jeep doesn't just build them that way? Immediately upgraded the tires...traded the ones that came with it to Discount Tire (highly recommend those guys). Added aftermarket floor mats (front, back & cargo area). Also added seat wedge thingys I found on Amazon to slightly recline the rear seat for passenger comfort. The rear seat was straight up and down and not very comfortable from the factory. Should have gotten leather seats. My cloth seats are fine, but...just should have gone with leather. I got the "cold weather package" and love it. I passed on vehicle safety warning system and adaptive cruise control. The ride is comfortable...wasn't expecting a Cadillac or a race car. Highway driving is great. Wind noise did not wear me out like I thought it might going with a soft top. I highly recommend.

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

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.
