One day, hopefully, Stellantis and Jeep takes the initiative to make sure all of these vehicles are properly software updated and checked before being picked up. There's a LOT of software, and also a lot of software updates, but instead of proactive, they issue them as wait & see, and not all...

Super odd packaging for the first year, but I'd assume they'll update this in years to come. Even lower level cloth seat Ram trucks have power folding mirrors standard in most packages, so I think this first go round, Jeep went random with so many different trim levels to see what people noticed...

Everyone needs to get this done, and as was mentioned on Facebook by a dealer, it's now a Rapid Response Update that is to be applied to all vehicles when they're on the lot or in for service, regardless of any concern. So, just worth calling and scheduling it, no matter what.

Yes. And now it's a Rapid Response Update that ALL are to receive, either when they're on the lot or in for service. Not a recall, but you absolutely need the update if yours hasn't been already. Just reference the 1/15 TCM bulletin, and schedule it before you have issues--or if you are, with...

Midnight Sky some owners already have, a very dark navy blue. River Rock waiting to see. I'm pondering planning a Wag Series III upgrade to a Grand Wag, but have Baltic Gray & Sea Salt now, and love it, but now there's more choices...

Correct. It's Grand only. The options packaging vs. lack of dealer knowledge on Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer odd packaging seems to still be confusing people.

Yeah. It's that hope "we don't have many, so let's just bump the price high and see what attention we get. Maybe a customer will negotiate the addendum but still pay part of it and we'll have a model to show..." thought.

So, on other Jeep models, like the last gen Grand Cherokee, owners would complain when using the factory Nav, the gauge cluster directions were always out of sync and did not keep up with what the main Nav screen was showing. In this case, since it's CarPlay, it could be different or similar...

Excellent, and good to hear. And YES, with the Convenience package--that needs to be standard. Surround view, automated parking assist, etc. Onward, and upward. Do you get to keep the current one until the next one comes in?

Lack of inventory, high demand...up go the prices. The used car market is starting to show signs of stabilizing a bit, and come down gently, but not drastically yet. Yet another reason why so many manufacturer banks (if they hadn't already) put locks on their lease buyouts (Honda, GM, Ford...

Happening elsewhere, too. Ford sent letters to all dealers not to play games with the Lightning F-150 EV, or you may lose your allocation: https://insideevs.com/news/559386/ford-threatens-dealers-f150-lightning/ It's a tough line to walk, as dealers are truly independent, and manufacturer...

Good thing more full on TSB's are now being released. So much software in these, it's bound to take more updates. I doubt most are actually a mechanical failure to start, but instead when the software glitches out and starts making the differential/transfer case malfunction and bind, if people...

When you use Apple maps (not Google, Waze, etc.) it's fully integrated and the turn by turn, etc. appears in the gauge cluster & heads up. It's a higher level Apple integration with their app. I loved Wireless CarPlay to start, and how quick it would connect, but the sound quality wasn't the...

Well, good news. Mine was resolved yesterday by the dealer--thanks to that TSB just coming out. Cruise control failing, binding badly, chugging, etc. They ran the iPad scanner with me to show me codes, it clearly had a TCM and drivetrain fault that triggered causing this, and then sent the...

It's not really "rocking", but the front always drops first, then the back--yes. Kind of gradual, don't feel it much if inside, but you can watch it from outside with the key fob lowering button. Definitely a quicker system than older ones as on the last Grand Cherokee, etc.
