Used 2020 Jeep Wrangler Consumer Reviews
Major Powertrain issue
We purchased our new 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited in January 2020. Since then, it's been in the shop three times with some sort of serpentine issue. Each time, the dealer (tried two) has had the car in the shop for a week at a time and each time replaced the tensioner and given it back with the same issue (sometimes slightly improved and sometimes worse). The techs hear the issue but can't resolve it. It is currently at the dealer again trying to figure out what is wrong.

Unlimited Rubicon is a dream to drive on/off road
I have a 2019 four door Rubicon Jeep JL. Fully loaded with upgraded wheels and tires by the dealer. The car was $62k in total. After 6 or so weeks I have had no issues. I had the wheels rebalance by the dealer due to a vibration and one the reverse camera failed to display the image. Apart from that the car has put a smile on my face everyday. It’s a dream to drive around town, on the highway and in the mud. It performs in the snow of Vermont with ease. The interior is a major upgrade from previous model. UConnect is excellent, remote start right for your phone or your Apple Watch. The acceleration is unbelievable compared with my 2016 JK. My experience with the JL has been excellent and I couldn’t be happier with everything about the car.

much better than expected
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.

Seven Month Update
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).

Know what your getting
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
