I’d definitely agree that the hugely inflated MSRP on GC and Wagoneer are a major factor. However, the reliability, which was never good to begin with, has gotten significantly worse. We’ve had 6 GCs since 2018. One of our 2018s needed a whole new transmission 6 months into the lease while the other 2018 was riddled with electrical issues. (Here’s that thread: [1/12/19 UPDATE] 2018 Jeep GC needs entirely new transmission. Dealer says Chrysler won’t have part for at least 2 weeks. What are my Lemon Law options? (NJ))
The 2020s we had were actually pretty solid (I guess that finally perfected the generation by then).
Enter 2023 - and I’m about to lemon my GCL. It’s been in the shop on 2 separate occasions (including just a day after leasing it) and has just hit the cumulative 30 day mark opening the door for a Lemon law case. Nonstop Electrical glitching issues and engine issues.
I think my run with Jeep is over. I may just buy a boring Honda or Toyota and perhaps wait till next year and see if we need a 2nd car and look into the 2024 Traverse which looks gorgeous so far.
