Have worked on these. Can confirm they're terrible. Possibly one of the worst vehicles on the market
Worst in what way?
Not trolling, actually curious.
Biggest problem: I've seen several kill their own batteries. Like 3V across both main and aux batteries. That's not really recoverable without battery replacement.
General quality control is bad (I have to be careful not to give details here. I like my job).
Subjectively, I just don't like the vehicle. It's the flagship for everything wrong with the auto industry. It's too big, too heavy, handles like shit, too many things to distract you from actually driving the fucking thing.
A friend of mine had a Wrangler Rubicon - built to drive straight up mountains, but never left a paved road in its life
At less than 5 years old, the oil pan rusted out. I live in an area that salts roads in the winter, but even 10 year old 80's cars back in the 90's didn't rust out that bad
I had a Chrysler 200 that was a really great car, up until it died at 88,000 miles.
