Are Jeep's made from crap?

I'm sure there will be other "it's a jeep thing" issues that arise but I tell you what, nothing beats top down and doors off on a sunny weekend around town!

Would I want it as my daily? NO, definitely not. So that may be the biggest issue is with the daily drivers having to deal with clunks and squeaks every day, but for me, "its a jeep thing" and I'm fine with it!
Hmm. My Jeep is a daily driver, 120KM round trip everyday 5 days per week, and running around on the week ends....wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, I can't see myself behind the wheel of any other vehicle....even if budget would allow...I'd still choose the Jeep any day of the week.

Sounds good, until you think in terms of Fiat's stake of Chrysler.
