Yeah, that was my first thought too. It was especially obvious when he was talking about the SRT8 MPG.

I LOVE my JK.

No problems, performance and value are awesome.

Every manufacterer has lemons and some problems. My JK has been over 20k trouble free miles.

Look dude, you came onto a forum where 99% of the people active here LOVE their Jeeps, and you say it's made of crap and then bitch and whine about it...at first I was trying to be helpful but now I see that if you're that displeased with it, get rid of it and don't expect any support from a forum dedicated to those that love their JK's

...oh, by the way...did you know they don't have low windshield washer fluid warning lights either?


your joking wright? That is so wrong! I cant believe that is true. come on tell the truth, your joking?

To answer the original question: Are Jeep's made from crap?
No. If it they were, we could not sit in them. The smell would be too bad.
All other answers in this thread don't address the original question. (Including mine on page 3, #25)

I think some posters are being too hard on the OP. If mine turned out to be one of those lemon JK's I would've been pissed and would've asked the same question he did. F$ck Chrysler for providing 1) subpar products and most importantly 2) horrible customer service. Like I said before I got a good JK but I have sympathy for those who got the lemon.

Default good point

I like that you are seeing from other view. Unfortunately alot of complaints are for minor issues that all makes suffer from. My JK is more truck like to me. so I am compromising in a few areas. But offroad it is a goat. I wouldn't want any other rig on the trail. Any. It does everything it is ask to.

The OP complained of speedo sticking and poppingo out of gear and difficulty shifting into 4wd. Those aren't minor issues that all makes suffer and if he got a lemon, it's not unlikely that he'll experience all other kinds of nightmares compounded by terrible customer service. Actually I think customer service is at the center of the dissatisfaction some people have unfortuately experienced. Having technical problems is one thing, but when the company you just gave $25-30k to ignores your complaints regarding their product, it is completely unacceptable.

Being pissed because you bought a lemon is one thing. Attacking the Jeep brand and arrogantly waving your so called accomplishments flag around over and over is another. How could you ever compare a Jeep to anything else on the road...YOU CAN'T! I've had three vehicles in the past and my 09 JK which i just bought 2 weeks ago replaces my 01 Escape. This being my very first Jeep and yes I know it's only been such a short time but I think I'm in love! Despite the water leaking in the rear, the knocking steering column, rough idle, tranny that shutters like a SOB in reverse, I see the true potential that's there.

The jeep is plain old fun to drive and I'm proud to be a jeep owner!!!
