SO CLOSE... yet so far. Sitting at the railyard in Council Bluffs IA and massive hailstorm rolled thru. Railyard can't release it until their insurance company inspects it. Dealer says good chance we have to re-order.

So much for getting the 2012 I've been patiently waiting for since June.



8/22: Found out today Chrysler TOTALLED it! and they're expediting build of a new one.

On the bright side maybe they've worked the bugs out of the production line. i.e. maybe my A/C will work

/poke -> RR

9/7 - new Jeep is in - pics attached later in thread. WooHoo!

 

that really sucks !!!

 

It really really sucks. Was going to pick it up tonight.

Trying not to get too depressed...

Also trying to decide if I want a "used" Jeep after they re-skin and repair it. On one hand could be a massive discount. On the other hand is a "new" Jeep that's been body totalled.

 

Dude that SUCKS! I'm sorry to hear that.

 

personally don't let it get to ya. its just one of those things that ya can't control and in a year you won't even have it on your mind as your having fun in you Jeep.

 

Not wanting to hi-jack but I have to tell someone!
How's this one..... My 2dr Rubicon showed up at the dealer Weds night after sitting at the rail yard for almost 5 days (it's about 45minutes south of the dealer). Went to do the walk through and the A/C fan will not kick on thus NO A/C. Looks to be a software problem and they have not been able to get it fixed. Been sitting at the dealer for the past 2 days. It's got the regional engineer stumped and they don't know what is causing the problem. Dealer is pissed, I'm getting pissed...

Ordered the Sahara Tan and if they have to reorder my Rubicon I want get the color I wanted... Plus the HUGE delay. Need this Darn thing for development work!

.... ..... ...... ......

 

did you guys ever finish making that snorkel that fits with your light bar, i know there was a thread on it but it seems like it just kinda died out

 

No worries about the Hijack. Atleast my business isn't depending on getting it.

Official tracker status is now "On Hold". Was kind of hoping they'd take it to the dealer anyways so I could see it. But looking at the pics from the damage in that area on the news and cars are very messed up. Windows all busted out and bodies dented to heck. Even if it's fixed there's likely water damage and electrical issues.

Not looking good.

That really sucks for you though RR ... you'd think they'd test the A/C before it left the factory.

 

totaly new jeep for software problem ?

 

Will it turn on but after about 60 seconds it shuts down because the fan does not turn on.. Odds are they did turn it on at the factory and checked that it worked but did not cycle it past 2 minutes... My dad worked 34 years at a GM plant so I know how little time is given for full checks ( the stories I could tell ).. Anyway, I'm just stressing for the reason stated above... Projects are on hold for this rig.

Our XHD and new aluminum bumper will need a drop down bracket for the power brake booster located on the driver's side frame horn, and a revision to the intake tube for the snorkel system will allow it to work from 2007-2012... Need the Jeep to finalize these and other revisions...

Maybe we can make some lemonade out of these lemons…. If your JK was a 2dr Rubicon (6speed) maybe I can get your computer…. That is if they want release it..

Kidding aside I hope you have better luck than I.
