Thank you Costa! I have 388 miles in and I love Wanda!
I know what you mean, the warp in my windshield is very subtle, I almost think it’s not worth the risk of getting a replacement.
What do you mean when you say “debating having all the electronics and resealing done versus the factory alignment and seal.”? Can you please elaborate.
You’re right, the car is super quiet. My wife keeps falling asleep in the front seat because it’s so relaxing on the turnpike. Also, the kids want to live in the back lol! I need to get covers for the TV’s and limit them to long trips only but I’ve been letting them enjoy for the first week (6 days only).
It’s such a spectacle too. There is not another one around our area so people are seeing it for the first time asking questions.
The Wagoneer app has been working fantastic for me too, always updates real time. So far so good! I want to drive it back to the mid west (8 hour drive) but want to get at least 500 miles on her before we take her on a long trip, but I’m very comfortable with the idea… and so is my family lol!
Any quirks or findings with yours (or anyone’s) so far?
I’ve been messing around with the settings because there are so many options. I like the auto parking brake and auto retract side mirrors; just recently added the suspension dropping when you put it in park feature.
One quirk it seems is sometimes when I approach her with the key in my pocket, the power step goes down and other times it doesn't. Also, sometimes I can push the part of the door handle area to make it lock and it locks and other times it does not.
Serious stuff lol.
I have some things, as I mentioned in my last post that need to be addressed but I don’t want to part with Wanda to get them repaired!
One thing that has been working (knock on wood), that I expected issues with, is the UConnect connectivity with my Apple phone. No issues!
Also, I love the Driver Assist; it literally drives itself!
That’s my rant for now, happy Wagoneering!!!
Hi, Sorry for the late reply, I've been on a business trip, you know, 18-20 hour days, the norm of course... 😁 The hillarious part, I had that feeling hit for a bit like I was the badest one driving down the road, HEMI gurgling ready to eat anyone for lunch (yeah, in a 3.2 Ton beast, LOL). Just a fun feeling, not having to prove anything about its speed (as I have tried it and wow, for this size, wow). Sanity hit of course when all the sports cars blew by me going about triple number speeds. 🤣
As for the comment about Electronics for windshields, I'm referring to the fact the water sensors for wiper blades are resident in that black box area behind the rear view mirror. Also other things in there for scanning the road ahead, temp sensing for the heated wipers if you have that feature, etc. Those are electronic items that need to be moved to the new windshield, and since most companies include road alignment sensors in it, making sure they line up properly on the windshield is important. The Seal comment I know you understand, referring to the standard bead of sealing materials they use to lock the windshield in place, not talking about a special electronics box seal process. Of course sealing is always a roll of the dice, depending on the company used and employee skill/knowledge.
I have a quirk that I experienced on this latest 500mi plus round trip: lower screen on the center console. Sometimes just shifting to Drive made it go blackout. Can't get it back on, yet I discovered by accident how to turn it on. I shift to D, if it is off I flip to R for a second with foot still on the brake, then put it back to Drive. Viola' it lights up and works fine. So as you mentioned, my world is over, I can't go on, it just has to be fixed yesterday darn it.
I haven't had the Step issue you mentioned, haven't been playing with the door locking process either so I'll try that this weekend. Might have another long drive so if anything else happens, I'll make a note. My last trip I found the ACC (Cruise) worked extremely well. Loved it, saved my right leg from cramping up after 4-5 hours driving. Haven't tried the Driver Assist, reviews said it was a bit aggressive so I thought I'd wait for a few more updates this year, get on a road with very few people on it (a few interstates actually are less traveled than others), then see what happens.
As for the passengers, it's almost so bad I have to pay people to get OUT of my ride! My Best Friend reluctantly got out after his first ride at lunch. He only got out because he was hungry and I didn't have food in the console fridge. 😅 Priorities you know...
Glad your family is enjoying it, they are sweet rides!
