Used 2019 Jeep Wrangler Consumer Reviews
Heartbroken
My absolute dream vehicle. I bought it with 10000 miles and it was 1 yr old. I went all out lift kit, oversized tires , winch, push bar, lights, grill , ECT ECT. First off it felt amazing riding in this vehicle , people took notice, it demanded attention . How ever little things annoyed me like the visor would fall off when I pulled it down to not get blinded by sunlight instead I'm blinded by sunlight fumbling with the visor in my lap.Mind you a 1 year old 60,000 dollar vehicle... If I drove more than 10-15 miles the clutch would star shuttering when taking off from a standstill. Vehicle 1 year old.. my tires had nothing to do with this as I followed the dealership in put on what size tire I could go to without regearing..I bought it with after market lights on hood and grille at a jeep dealer only to find out from my local jeep dealer that it wouldn't pass inspection with those lights even though I bought it from their own affiliated company like that! Talk about ANNOYING. After I hit the 30,000 mile mark and it was now only 3 yrs old the stop start feature light came on and wouldn't work. Only 3 yrs old . Does it drive ok I think it drove awesome around town however highway cruiser it is Not . Wich I kinda knew that I mean if I wanted a sleek silky smooth ride I would have chosen a grand Cherokee instead people . It's common sense. What pute over the edge to get rid of it was going out to my driveway one morning to find my $60,000 vehicle that I was still at that point so very proud to own had big spots of paint bubbling on all four doors and the edges of the hood and on the hinges!!!! I live in Nh and I took Very good care of this jeep . 3 yrs old people . I researched to find this was happening cause of the types of metal jeep uses and a new paint job would not cure this but be a mere band aid for I read testimonials of others bubbling a second time after the paint job! Needless to say I was very angry and upset because I didn't want to get rid of this jeep but I also want to ensure I don't go broke and have enough money for my daughter's wedding one day. I was and am heartbroken .. thanks jeep/Chrysler/ Dodge.

Keep looking to make the best deal
Huge variety of prices depending on need. The Rubicon was much nicer to drive and the sport s as much cheaper. The difference in price is worth the cost

A lot of fun to drive, but not perfect
I purchased a new 2019 Rubicon off the lot. The ride, steering, and handling were as expected, having owned a TJ in the past. First the positives: The infotainment system is great, it has most of the modern conveniences one would expect that have historically been unavailable on wranglers, the V6 and the 8 speed auto have plenty of power with no responsiveness delays that often see with other drivetrains (e.g., 4-cyl turbos, CVTs, etc.), great air conditioning, and the cargo area is roomy enough to fit mountain bikes inside without the need for external racks. The negatives: Fuel economy is way worse than the advertised ratings (I get 13-17 MPG), the USB connectors in the enter console are unreliable, weather events that you don’t care about interrupt you constantly, auto start stop cannot be permanently disabled, and the seat bottoms don’t tilt, and the wind noise makes for a tiring road trip vehicle. Update: with a third party add-ons you can disable start/stop and the weather alerts. Also, the no-cost headlights are not nearly as bright as the optional LEDs, they are worth the upgrade. In spite of the negatives, it’s really fun to drive, easy to park, I’ve gotten used to the seating position (the lacking tilt), and with the addition of programmer, I can disable the start stop function as well as the annoying weather alerts.

Rains in
The only thing that I can complain abut is the rain gutters, when it rains the water runs into the Jeep when you open the door, the gutters are about two inches short to keep the water out.

Best all around vehicle
This is my Fourth Jeep I have owned I have had a TJ, YJ, JK and now the JL. This is by far the most comfortable Jeep I have ever owned. The stock suspension on this Sahara has the smoothest ride of any previous Jeep and is smoother than my wife's 2013 Durango. The only negative I have is that when Jeep makes a new model I have to sell all of my old accessories because they are not compatible with the new one.

A joy, but not worth the MSRP pricetag
We bought our 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Sport S with the 3.6L after my 2001 TJ Sahara finally rusted apart after 22 years. Overall we're happy with it. There are some quirks and imperfections that do not justify the $30k+ MSRP. Pros: -incredibly refined compared to previous generations on the interior. -the Sport-S gives you all the basic creature comforts you'd expect on a vehicle in this day and age(power windows, mirrors and locks, climatronic controls, apple car play/android auto). -The 3.6L v6 engine is torquey & robust and gives you plenty(if not almost too much power for a jeep). Reviews are mixed on reliably issues, but we bought ours with 69k miles and we just hit 83k and haven't had any issues with the motor with just routine oil changes - The 8-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and efficiently and rarely stutters and trips over itself during stop and go traffic. -The freedom panels give you the option to have an open air experience without having to fully commit to taking the entire roof off like on our old TJ. -Suspension is much smoother and comfortable than previous jeep models(keyword: "comparatively")! Cons: - the OEM sound system is underpowered. This is especially evident when you have the roof and/or doors off. Even with max volume you can barely hear it. -some of the external parts are cheap-feeling for a $30k+ vehicle. -the automatic start/stop mechanism is annoying/problematic. The Wrangler has 2 batteries: a main battery that powers everything except the start/stop system, and an auxiliary battery under the main battery that powers the stop/start mechanism exclusively. This is an example of poor engineering because when the aux battery inadvertently dies, it "poisons" the main battery and drains it. We learned this the hard way when the jeep tried to stop/start in an intersection and didn't have the juicie to restart itself, leaving us stranded in a busy intersection. We ended up buying an aftermarket stop/start bypass dongle that keeps the stop/start setting off(otherwise we'd have to manually turn it off every drive cycle which is annoying). Ultimately this is a product of over-engineering on Jeep's part. Overall, it's a great vehicle, just criminally overpriced(I think jeep has figured this out though, as their used prices have dropped substantially over the past 6 months).

Differential disgrace
I have a 2019 Wrangler with 50,000 miles on it. I bought it new I maintain it regularly when I first picked it up from East Hills Jeep. The front end was out of whack. They called it the death wobble after two times ringing it back. They finally fixed it now. 50,000 miles later the differential in the rear end broke and is not covered under warranty. Cost me over $1500 to fix that was made of plastic, which was the bearings who are made of metal with a plastic covering to hold them in place. I don’t understand why Jeep would put a plastic part in a transmission which carries such a load.

My all-time favorite vehicle
I love my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport-S; this is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I purchased my Jeep used with 17K miles; currently I have owned it for two years and have 54K miles. Mechanically I have had zero issues with my Jeep; I service all of my vehicles regular-with my Jeep I've only had to change the oil and filter. The ride is what you would expect from a Jeep. If you want a Jeep that rides more like and SUV then you should get the Sahara with highway tires. My Jeep has the I4 turbocharged 4 cylinder engine; the torque I have access to is amazing. The engine doesn't sound like the V6, but it delivers plenty of power and usually gets around 22 mpg. I have upgraded my suspension by adding a 2.5" lift and 33" Cooper tires. The tires make the Jeep drive different, but they look great. I have also added rock lights and interior under dash lights without any issues-the battery is strong and has extra terminals for add-ons. I feel confident in my Jeep knowing that I am driving a mechanically reliable vehicle that can handle any situation I may be faced with on and off road. I highly recommend the Jeep Wrangler.

Love it so far!
I am really enjoying being in a vehicle that sits higher! I am happy with the way it handles in the city and on the freeway. Remember, it’s a Jeep, so the suspension rides a little stiffer but it does ride smoothly on the freeway. Know that you will feel the bumps on city streets but also know that your suspension was built to handle it better than most other vehicles. I really like the mobile device integration. Jeep really does think of almost every little detail. I can’t wait to take it off road to tests out the 4x4 capabilities!
