    Stock GW3 tires - watch out in rain!

    I’m very pleased with my Pirellis. I made it a point to really accelerate hard (isn’t it funny the excuses we come up with to hear the 6.4L roar? 😂) in heavy rain and they stick like glue. My dealer said the stock Goodyears are garbage, confirming our suspicions. Reviews are pretty scathing on...

    It isn’t the lighting. He just took the picture from inside another Grand Wagoneer. Our warped windshields are the funhouse mirrors of the automotive industry. They’re thinning! 😂😂😂 PS my windshield was just fixed this week.

    Real World MPG

    I get consistently anywhere between 12-15 MPG on my Grand Wagoneer. Most of my driving is on back country roads, usually between 50 - 60 MPH. Yeah the environmentalists don’t like me but I don’t like them either 😂. I went into this with eyes wide open. These vehicles are basically condo-shaped...

    Steering wheel controls not working

    You beat me to the punch! Yes, I just got it back. They had it for 15 days. I gotta give props to the dealer, they did an awesome job. The replacement steering wheel controls didn’t fix the issue so a Jeep engineer had to step in. The engineer then stopped returning calls in the middle of this...

    Got this in the mail today. There’s a kind of poetic irony that it arrives while my car is at the dealer waiting for parts. But oh well, it’s a nice sentiment. I’m enjoying driving with my imagination in the meantime, Jim 😂. Jim hopes we’re out there having wild adventures - and we do when our...

    Steering wheel controls not working

    Thanks for the find! I texted it to my service advisor today; she said she would pass it on to the tech. I would hope they already tried this but we all know better than to assume.

    Steering wheel controls not working

    Here's the latest. Jeep told the dealer to replace all the buttons and button assembly on the steering wheel; they say they hope this solves the problem. Really, you HOPE?! Parts were supposed to arrive on Wednesday, then Thursday, then today. Just heard this morning that the parts now have an...

    Our Wagoneer Experience

    I’m sorry, this must have been terrifying for you and your wife to experience. God certainly was with you both! I’m kind of horrified at the timeline here. They could’ve built you and delivered a replacement by now. Has the dealer been able to provide any idea why this happened?

    Chicago Zone 51

    This means that your ordering dealer is in this particular FCA sales zone. All orders have this attached to them. When the build is complete, they’re grouped by zone so they end up on rail cars that are going to the same area. Anything labeled with Chicago as a zone means that Chicago is its...

    Steering wheel controls not working

    Latest update: dropped off my Grand Wagoneer bright and early this morning for repair. Body control module replacement unfortunately has not resolved the issue. The dealer has zero idea what’s causing this and reached out to Jeep for guidance as to next steps early this afternoon. As of an hour...

    Possible Wiring Harness Mounting Defect Detected In Engine Compartment On Firewall. Reported And Waiting For Response.

    Very interested to hear what they come back with. Why did they say the battery died?

    Steering wheel controls not working

    Update: replacement part required is the BCM, Body Control Module. Dealer ordered and received it this morning. Dropping the car off on Monday morning for the repair. Attached a copy of the diagnosis notes for anyone’s reference.

    Steering wheel controls not working

    My GW is ready to come home but is not fixed. They said it was some type of control module that needs to be replaced; the service advisor couldn't tell me which off hand so I'll check when I pick it up later. They ordered the replacement part and will be installing next week so we'll see.

    Steering wheel controls not working

    Got a call from the dealer and everything checked out fine under the hood. They said the factory sprays a whole bunch of lubricants and rust inhibitors in there at the factory and this takes a bit to burn up. The tech said there's some stickers on the transmission that they like to use to gauge...

    Steering wheel controls not working

    Also, a funny anecdote from the dealer today: I pull into the dealer garage and get out of my car. There's another customer there with their Jeep Compass ahead of me. Note this isn't a Wagoneer Certified Dealer. So the service advisor sees me and rushes past the Compass owner with an iPad in...

    Steering wheel controls not working

    The dealer tech actually tried this when I dropped it off this morning and nothing. They’re hoping it’s just a wire which they say is quite common with Jeep. Fingers crossed. Something unrelated to this I’ve noticed that I’m curious if any of you have experienced: I smell a bit of a burning...

    Steering wheel controls not working

    I tried resetting a couple of times and it didn’t resolve it. Do you remember noticing if the power (for the lit buttons) went out on your steering wheel when this happened? Driving around last night everything that would normally be backlit on my steering wasn’t on at all.

    Steering wheel controls not working

    I didn’t even think to check. Now that you say that, I did notice the factory navigation not loading on the main screen and the digital clock in the upper center of the screen is now gone so I wonder…

    Steering wheel controls not working

    1,089 miles on the odometer and my first issue has arisen. While driving today I noticed my steering wheel buttons stopped working. Figured it might just be a software thing. Did a soft reset and nothing. Let it sit for a bit, nothing. Just ran to the store now and the lights on the steering...

    Anybody have adaptive headlights?

    N No updates. I may put Paige on it just out of curiosity but I suspect the feature didn’t make it into the final production model. It’s a bummer. They probably just failed to update the website.
