Our 2018 Jeep Wrangler Hit 80K Miles and It’s Been a Bumpy Ride

We just can not carry ourselves to element strategies with our 2018 Jeep Wrangler. It has turn into a handy aid vehicle on our video shoots, specially when matters get dusty, soiled, grimy … you get the strategy. Which is why it is really a person of the unusual cars in our extended-term fleet to get a total heap of miles place on it. We typically operate our long-termers for about 20,000 miles, but we just strike a whopping 80,000 in the Jeep, extra than 30,000 of which have arrive given that we formally wrapped up its prolonged-time period take a look at.

But the Wrangler quickly went from mogwai to gremlin a very little a lot more than a year in the past and has been plagued with problems due to the fact. Most of its troubles have been electrical, which include the alternator and the computerized start-quit procedure. The continual ferrying of the Wrangler to and from dealerships and assistance centers has remaining us a minor fatigued, but potentially which is just section of owning an unique animal. Continue to, this current expertise with mounting costs and ownership problems seemed to warrant a recap.

Automobile halt-start system are not able to stay wholesome

This like-it-or-despise-it feature can not appear to be to stay off the injured listing. We initial picked up an error code for it very last October. The attribute was disabled but the truck drove fantastic, suitable up until eventually it did not. The Wrangler’s battery died, requiring a tow to a dealership in Alhambra, California. It seems a negative sensor led to the Jeep draining each the battery that powers the cease-start off method and the key battery.

We replaced both batteries and the defective sensor, which expense us a cool $1,314.14. However, that was not the stop of this situation. A nearly identical issue occurred just 7 months later, requiring us to substitute both batteries however all over again. This repair service came with extra labor mainly because of contaminated gas uncovered in our fuel pump. We were not ready to get a straight answer on how the gas turned contaminated, what it was contaminated with, or why an electrical challenge brought on them to examine the gas tank. We paid what was due, $1,741.95, and did not return to this spot.

So, we used a lot more than $3,000 in 12 months in no smaller part many thanks to a attribute many of us desire we could toss into the Pacific Ocean anyway. We encountered one more difficulty with this function, but thankfully with no the wallet-busting price. In July, the Wrangler would not restart right after partaking car quit-start out so we took it into a Santa Monica seller. The people there observed a wholly disconnected power cable, quite possibly simply because a former supplier had unsuccessful to reconnect a ground cable. That repair service was dealt with for free.
