Aub, I didn't mean to get you all pissed off and defensive about the whole situation. But we're on this forum for a reason, we love our Jeeps. Yet for some reason there are some douchebags who for whatever reason choose to slam Jeeps and the dealers. We don't need them on this forum. I might have jumped your shit, but you didn't say in your original statement that your Jeep was in the shop twice before that for different problems. However, I am glad that they got everything worked out, and I hope you can now enjoy your JK like you were supposed to! Cool?

 

I'm careful about complaints because I love Jeep products (my JK is my 4th Jeep.)

BUT, you gotta leave the window open to "slam" the dealers!:toung:

Sales or Service, I've never had a good experience! I don't know why its always a war, but I promise I've never started it...
I've also never lost!

 

If you listen to all of the complaint on the board what impression wuold you walk away with.
1. The salesmen are thieves and idiots.
2. The service technicians are incompetent
3. the folks in the factory are incompetent
4. the jeep will leak
5. gas mileage sucks
6. It will spend more time in the shop than on the road.
7. It may catch on fire
8. MyGig has too many problems

On the positive side

1. Its not an H3
2. Its not an FJ
3. Looks cool when covered with mud.
4. Its a Jeep

People must wonder why we buy them; I guess it’s a Jeep thing

 

Couldn't have said it any better myself, Cyclops!

 

I bought my first new Jeep in 1991 (cherokee). I still have it with over 289,000 miles on it and few problems. Still has original motor and transmission. I bought a 2002 Wrangler TJ and loved it, few problems. Now I bought the JK and it has been nothing but trouble. I too have always loved Jeeps and expected a few hick-ups with a new year model. I did not expect serious safety issues nor did I expect so many other problems which Chrysler cannot fix. I also did not expect the attitude Chrysler is taking over the situation. The dealer on the other hand has been great. Trashing Jeep is not why I have posted negative threads about the JK. I do think people should know about the inherit problems many of us are having and hopeful we can help each other to get the situation fixed. Already info I have recieved from this board has helped the dealer at least have a clue as to how to repair some of the problems. Chrysler is not helping them much.

 

Do you think the rfid could be the issue with others stall bug or issues other people are having. There are getting to be alot of rfid transponders out there. What exactly were the symptoms of gym pass? This issue might be more common than you think.

 

VOLJEEPX, please watch your language...if you feel the need to flame someone, please do it via PM.

I don't want to close a thread because of a flame war, so lets play like good people. K thx bye.

 

Aub, I gotta ask, did you quit your gym? Or was the dealer able to make the JK compatible with the gym RFID.

If I had to pick, the Jeep would definitely won over the gym!

For the record, I've had a good experience with dealer, and I would have claimed no probs with Jeep (until I started getting alternator/check engine light this week).

It does make my jaw drop to see them on sale for $16K here when I paid $24 a year and a half a go!!! (but I wouldn't give up that year of Jeeping, minus deployment of course)

As for my battery prob, I haven't run the diagnostic yet to try and figure it out. I've got a Unichip, and I've wired in light, winch, CB, and in-cab winch control so it could be me. It still starts everytime, just gives that second ding, .

Anyway, glad that it worked out, Aub.

 

Sorry to hear, but I agree with the others, pursue the tools available to you and see what comes of it.

 

The Jeep dealership up here is full of jerks too. I almost punched the guy that sells the extra warranty and lifetime oil changes. I only bought from them because there isn't another dealer within 2000 miles. Luckily I haven't had anything break down.
