Default Sayin Good-bye

After having many Wranglers over the years, it's time to say good-bye and move on. It's been fun. But it also gets to a point when one gets fed
up living with and having to pay for a vehicle that keeps having issues. I know what you're going to say because I have already heard it. But to have to
pay for a vehicle with issues that will never go away is upsetting. So, I wish all of you well, and bid you so long.

Sorry to read this. No one should have to put up with a vehicle that can't be properly fixed. Hope your next one works out better for you!

Never heard of anything mechanical that doesn't require maintenance from time to time.

Good luck with the new vehicle.

Thanx, all of you for the nice send off! You may be right, I will probably be back. It has happened before. I have been doing Wranglers
since 97. The JKs though, had a number of them. More issues than I could count. Kept trying them, but kept having issues. The part
that made it worse is I'm in the auto business. Don't want or have the time to spend in a Jeep dealership dealing with MORONS in my small spare
time. Some peace and quiet for now with my new 5.0 Mustang. But who knows? Once again, thanx for the nice send off! Harry.

Default your not alone in your feeling that way

Quality control is just pitiful for a vehicle of this costs! Trucks seem to do much better in reliability . What good is a trail rated vehicle if you cant even drive it on road with out issues

You boys apparently never owned a Land Rover. $13,000 in repairs under the warranty and another $9,000 out of picket before I gave up and sold it. My dodge Ram, about $11,000 in repairs total. My 2012, since new, only oil changes and gas. Well, plus my lift, wheels, mods, etc. No issues, more than pleased!

But, I get it. Find something that works for you and you're pleased with!
