Everything Wrong With My Jeep JL WRANGLER After 2 YEARS!!!!

- After a few years of ownership i have come to notice a few things that just havent withstood the test of time with my Jeep JL wrangler. With any new vehicle it is common to find the wear points and see where things tend to not hold up.The most annoying one was the RADIO and this still happens to this day however there was a week long period where it just completely stopped working and this then resulted in the dealership having to take a look and see where the electrical issue was. then there was an issue with the back glass and the defroster coming undone from the glass itself this is an issue that can A cause the glass to not defrost but also can short out a system if you hit a bump and make a connection when not meaning too. finally there is the parking sensors and more specifically the wiring harness where one of the pins just stopped being seated due to no wrong doing on my behalf causing the entire system to not work.
As nit picky as these things are i felt it important to make a video on it i hope you all enjoyed this and it helped you make a decision on if you want to buy one of these jeeps or not. And for what its worth i LOVE this jeep.
Thank You For Watching!!

I’m glad that you have such a good attitude about what is going on with your Jeep. You do seem frustrated about the things that are wrong, and for good reason. Thanks for posting the content bro. I’ve been considering whether I should get a Jeep myself, but I think I’ll wait to see what the new bronco looks like first.
Ordered my new jeep. It is in D1 status (whatever that is) glad to see you love your rig. Can not wait to get mine.
Youll love it once you have it!
Just because your dealer is "good to you" doesn't mean they're not screwing you with a smile lol...
This 100x
That's cool. I like to be wined and dined before I get F***ED! 🤪 #southpark #cartman #humancentipad
I just bought a used 2021 JLU sport 4cyl 8 speed auto. Convertible top. 21k miles. Not my DD but a toy. It will be used to tow my atv and summer fun. It does have Rubicon wheels. Came with worn out K02s. I put BFG trail terrains on it.
Just curious about not being able to turn on the AC if the radio isn’t working... Does this issue disable the physical button on the dash for AC too?
Unfortunately yes because the radio is whats actually controlling and sending the inputs
where did you get the red interior roof panels (I like them)?
Hey, thanks for the video. What bumper is that on the front of your JL?
Levi Ashby-Rosellon that’s the jcr crusader front bumper there’s a video for that as well thanks for watching!
Curious...do you have corrosion/paint bubbling anywhere on or around the hinges? Door hinges especially.
Nope!!! Not yet but i do have friends that have that problem i have lucked out so far
@@TaskForceOffroad what year is your jeep?
@@gooddaymate1171 its a 2018 i picked it up about 2 months after the first ones hit dealers in march of 18
@@TaskForceOffroad strange that it's affecting some but not all. I have a 2020 and so far so good. I applied anti-seize/anti-corrosion paste to all the hinge bushings, and I will spray rust proofing oil spray onto the hinges to seep into the cracks. Hopefully this works to prevent corrosion going forward. FCA really needs to figure out a resolution to this when manufacturing. Maybe they can stick the hinges on the inside and make the doors even easier to remove like the Bronco.
@@gooddaymate1171 it eould be nice to see it get easier to remove but idk how easy the bronco is i think what helps the bronco is the frameless doors but will be interesting to see a normal run of the mill person get their hands on it
Thanks for vid or heads up:) I just bought a pre owned 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport 3.6L with 60 000kms. Everthing looks mint and stock however after 2 weeks of owning it, I noticed sometimes on cold starts, the transmision doesn't go into reverse after I shift. Last time I heard a loud clunk after lightly touching the gas, scared the sh** out of me. Is this a common issues? btw, as good practice, I always engage the e--brake before parking to eleminate any tension on the gears, not making a difference.
Should I be worriend? Is this a common problem the Jeep JL owners? What should I do? Thanks.
First question is do you have manual or automatic sounds like an auto and could be a torque converter issue. If it’s a manual trans my guess would be something to do with your shifter linkage or potentially something wrong with the gear itself. If you’re using a manual i personally don’t see a need for not having tension on the gears as they are traditionally the brake for a manual vehicle using the compression of the engine to stop the vehicle from rolling
@@TaskForceOffroad Mine is a Auto trans and this problem is only intermittent. Should I drop the pan is go with a new filter for peace of mind? I hear transmission oil should be replaced after 60 000kms?
@@WilliamVG can’t hurt to do a good fluid flush and that sounds about right for “normal maintenance schedule” all depends on driving though if i had to guess it’s the torque converter getting alittle stuck untill it builds up enough pressure to get the jeep moving a good flush and filter definitely wouldn’t hurt and you can do an assessment of what the oil looks like at the same time
Just got my second jeep my first one is a 07 jk love it and got a 22 jl hope nothing goes wrong with it God whiling semper fi brotha
Semper fi and good luck 🤘🏻
Hey George Ohh-raa brother, btw did you get your clutch recall done yet?
Ryan Lhotka RAH and un fortunately not yet i haven’t been made aware that they have found a fix yet are you aware if they made one yet?
@@TaskForceOffroad Yes there finally is a solution to the clutch recall. Had mine done last month. Nice to see another manual! I have had a problem with the base radio not keeping time. Over the course of a month it will lose 2 to 3 minutes.
AKAGlenn that’s interesting I have a gladiator in the family with a base radio and I’ll have to pay attention to it. Good to hear about the clutch recall looks like i gotta get that done ASAP!!!
I have that same problem with my radio too. What's going on? I've also had my defrost terminals detach 3 times. They won't replace the 3rd and it cost over $1000 to replace the window. Not going to happen.
yeah the defrost thing is really annoying i might try and sodder but havent gotten around to it yet, as for the radio i have no idea why it does it
@@TaskForceOffroad I'm just glad I'm not the only one with the same problem
@@resolute123 hopefully this means mopar will then address it
Jeep is famous for poor quality control. They get away with it because Jeeps have a cult like following and their customers tolerate this by paying top dollar for a poorly manufactured product. I’m on my third Jeep. I love my Jeep JK but it’s quality is no where near the quality in my wife’s Mazda CX-5.
Japanese and Asian cars are simply the best engineered cars on the planet. Change the oil and they’ll run forever with very few mechanical issues. Nissan is an exception. They can’t seem to figure out how to build a maintenance free transmission. The Nissan Maxima’s transmission issues are well known.
Ford’s Bronco is having serious engine issues, which doesn’t surprise me. Ford isn’t exactly know for great quality control either. Don’t know why Toyota hasn’t brought back the FJ Cruiser. There is still a lot of demand for that vehicle.
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
What’s you dealer I’m in ma as well
I have the 2.0 and have the same problem with the oil being overfilled, I thought it was the dealer, so I changed it myself. I’ve changed it 5 times now since I’ve boughten my Jeep, I use exactly 5 quarts, it’s high every time.
Christopher Eaton that’s interesting I’m not sure how much oil the 2L turbo takes but being a smaller 4 banger i would assume 5 is too much i honestly haven’t looked into it though so I’m just speculating
Its okay because itll probably burn off anyway. Check your dipstick at 2k miles and see if its burned some off.
You paid a lot of money for that Jeep. Make sure they fix it At the dealership
Steve Smith you sir are very right!
Lol the ESS
Update? Has it fallen apart yet, i have a 2018 JL , by 72,000 mls ive had about $9,000 in repairs, including the coolant leaking into the engine and warped the heads. Right now...rear main seal leak,rear axle leak both sides,coolant leak from hose, last week wipers came in and literally every light in the cluster came on ,stuck in Park, limp mode, do i replaced the green canbus block behind glove box, hopefully it fixed it🤞🤞🤞 ,had about 35 codes come up. Now CEL is back on for the same yearly summertime evap leak. Oh ,and yes the rear defrost fell off in about 8 months after purchase. Now also possibly the oil cooler is leaking,almost forgot that one.
😂😂😂
Driving a jeep is very stressful, never know when the power steering is gonna fail and send you into another car or 🌴.
The only issue I’ve had is the starter due to the clutch gumming it up. Other than that I’ve had 0 issues just shy of 100k
@@TaskForceOffroad
I hate you dude... 🤣🤣🤣
Me and my wife just recently took our 2019 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport in because we was having issues with it not having four-wheel drive traction control e-brake and coming to find out. They also told us that our Jeep was not under warranty. After the simple fact, we just recently bought the Jeep back in April of 2022. Then the issue was they had to rewire the whole entire harness system and there were two bad rear wheel sensors to where I looked at them and said you guys had told us back in April that this g pad pass inspection and now all these problems come up. You guys are going to fix this in which we only have to end up paying $100 service fee for everything in which they was going to try and charge us over $1,000 for everything to get fixed. I'll looked at them and told them they can go screw themselves
Sounds like your dealer was trying to screw you and you were having no part of it good job holding your ground and keeping cool i hope your jeep got fixed properly!
Hey, check your hinges. A lot of us JL owners are seeing corrosion there already.
CheaperJeeperTV i checked after i saw your video haven’t had the issue as of yet fingers crossed
Issue with the hinges are from being primed/painted after doors/hood/tailgate are mounted, remove them and you will see corrosion😔
John Devost I remove my doors on almost a weekly basis still haven’t seen it in the doors yet... that’s not to say it won’t happen though
@@TaskForceOffroad Yeah, It's a bummer. With the steel bolts holding the aluminum hinges and aluminum door panels, it just invites galvanic corrosion...wth!
CheaperJeeperTV yeah it’s bound to happen just depends when i keep mine lubed up with anti seize so maybe that helps me i know it helps me get the doors back off after the winter 😂
“The dealership wouldn’t take care of it, they are good people”. Dude, thanks for the joke.
No they wouldnt take care of it
“99% of the time everything is great”. Videos made to just complain. Great content! Perhaps a Honda Civic is more up YOUR alley!
Check your hinges for aluminum corrosion... I am having that issue and I too have a 2018 jeep rubicon... Add that to what's wrong with these jeeps 😡😡😡😡
I luckly havent had that issue yet i think i lucked out somehow
Try to remember to turn off the radio manually before you turn off the Jeep’s engine, it resolves the problem!
Really now how did you manage to figure that one kinda interesting but if it works it works!!!
@@TaskForceOffroad Also when you turn on the engine then turn on the radio, once you get the habit, you won’t forget doing that!
I think the bumper issue is yours bro...you touched it lol 😂
Taylored Innovations I’d agree except for the fact that these wiring harnesses shouldn’t break the way it did to further discribe the issue a singular pin no longer seats not bent not cracked it came dislodged from the harness itself.... even incorrectly installing a wire harness will not result in this happening to only 1 pin is it a warrentied item not at all i replaced the bumper however should that have broken the way it did no
But the climate controls are repeated as tactile buttons and knobs below the radio.
yes and they are controlled through the radio so if the radio doesnt work the climate doesnt its a very poor way to do it in my opinion
@@TaskForceOffroad you're saying if the radio is out, the physical buttons and knobs also don't work?
@@RichardGetzPhotography That is correct if you dont believe me unplug your radio attempt to use your climate controls
@@TaskForceOffroad not not believing you, just clarifying.
mopar wiring harnesses r shit, ck! Will b able to fix that using diff wiring harness that holds wire diff. Rear window defrost connection both sides is crap & rear glass? scratches too easily, on it God.
James Merkel exactly stuff that’s really not that large of a deal
My radio does same thing😡 on my 2020
JeepdogsRCbikelife 1 hopefully they find a fix or recall however it’s so frustrating when you cannot make it happen because they can’t fix what’s working fine
And the worst thing is they act like they take your word for it, but they don’t, most of the time they act like you’re making everything up😂
JeepdogsRCbikelife 1 lmfao couldn’t have said it better myself
my 2019 does the same thing and the dealer doesn't believe me
Danielle Copeland probably the most annoying thing that happens
LOL, your dealer really don't sound that great man LOL
JL LIFE OFFROAD lol the people are great 😂
You should have bumper to bumper warranty for 3 years, drivetrain 6 years. Weird why they would be charging you.
Oscar Urquidi they look for any reason to deny a warranty claim...
Does sound like your dealership hires brain dead technicians, sorry not technicians, parts changers.
It's not paid for, before the mods
If i understsnd your comment correctly no it was not paid off before the mods
The sun visors are breaking on these JL’s like Chinese toys after Christmas. Very cheaply made.
I have not found that issue yet but good to be looking for!!
@@TaskForceOffroad Just be cautious when you swing the visor towards the side window. The end of the pivot stem is plastic and that’s where it breaks. I’ve already replaced my passenger visor on my dime.
@@greghull3189 that’s super annoying i Definitly don’t swing my visor often so probably why i haven’t experienced the issue good to know it can happen thanks Greg!
Jeep JL are 50 000+$ pieces of junk. Paint bubbling, seat stuck in the reclining position, both batteries dying and so on. Word of advice, stay away from wranglers and gladiators.
For someone whose channel is named relaxation and meditation that is quite the negative outlook 😂😂😂
Thanks for the laughs.
I had a 6000$ 2005 Corolla for 8 years and never had a problem. I spend 50 000$ On a brand new Jeep and it’s been issues after issues. It’s been a frustrating experience to say the least.
@@nirvanarelaxationandmedita9427 glad you got some sarcastic laughs and yeah it sucks when something like that happens i feel for you. I have had only very very small issues with mine honestly and most of them were self inflicted. The only one that wasn’t was a starter going but you can’t predict that stuff
I had a 2018 Rubicon, after spending about 10k we decided to exchange it for a 2023 4Runner. Took that jeep to the dealer 4 times in trying to fix the stop/start sensor and it would get fix for a week then it turn back on , it was burning coolant, check engine wouldn’t go away, and car lost power. Radio would glitch (rarely happen) I loved the car but it has to many problems, only lasted us for 3yrs. The jeep dealers are 💩💩💩, at least here in Vegas. They only steal your money and fix nothing.
Yeah I’m not a dealer guy not a fan of them to fix anything I’ve been lucky not to have any big issues with this jeep other than the starter
Who listens to the radio anymore and all the annoying adds. Spotify all the way my friend
Shinobi I use Apple Music but what i ment by radio is the entire infotainment system would just randomly turn off usually after a start up not the ability to listen to just the radio feature lol should have been more specific
@@TaskForceOffroad All good thanks for the reply to my silly comment :)
Shinobi 😂😂 ofcourse!
JEEP= Just Expect Every Problem.
Lol i havent heard that before but i like it!
Actually it’s “just empty every pocket” lol
I am just super tired to tell people that don’t buy FCA/Chrysler junk, new Jeep’s are not Jeep’s, all new Jeep’s are garbage, trash, junk , bro you save a lot of money and time if you buy Toyota ,Ford trucks ....
Lol
huh? I have 2 brand new jeeps and they're amazing. None of the trucks you mentioned can be taken apar or turn into a convertible. Toyota makes boring trucks! I rather have thousands of problems than drive a boring Toyota! NOTHING LIKE A JEEP!!!!
Fords?? Really? Fix Or Repair Daily.
You have a wrangler and a gladiator? 1st world problems...
lol the gladiator isnt fully mine i dont make the payments on it but for content purposes as in like mods it might as well be im the mechanic for it my brother in law has all finical posession of the gladiator but the wrangler is 100% mine .... but i do have a 2019 sesdoo gtx that is mine so yeah i mean your not wrong my friend
@@TaskForceOffroad Sorry - there was meant to be some sarcastic humor in that comment - retreading it I just sound like an ass.
@@goofsaddggkle7351 hahaha nah man you’re good I didn’t think you were being a dick
