It occurred to me that there was no build date correlated with build quality issues. This may be helpful to see if Jeep is solving these problems as time passes.

This would definitely be interesting to see what it shows. There is no way I would buy something off one of the lots with the early sequence numbers...

Where do we get the build date info?

Build Deficiency: No major issues at this point. I did have the 4x4 service light come on, inoperabe 4x4 at 100 miles and quickly went off after starting and stopping the car several times.

How can ifind the build date sticker?
There is a black sticker on the column of the driver's door but there is no build date there...
Only a VERSION number... Maybe this translates to something...?

Build Date: March 2015 (03/15)
Model: Limited
Issue: Water leaking in and puddles forming on passenger side carpet/floor. It was found that the manufacturer never installed the AC Drainage Tube.
Resolution: Manufacturer is buying back the vehicle and the dealer is setting me up with a new one.

 

[Renegade4X4]

Thanks for posting this. I was hoping to see fewer problems with assembly as time passed. I sure hope the new one is a winner. Are you going with the same model?

That is to bad, thank you for letting us know, is this visable we can look under the dash for it?

So the motto should be, "The Quality goes in before the name goes on" or "The Name goes on before the Quality goes in"?

Build Date: 01/15
Model: Latitude
Issue: Soaking wet floorboards on passengers side. After two weeks in the shop, told it was a crack in the a/c drain line however could not provide cracked drain line for me to see and I was given no paperwork when picking up truck to show what had been done. Have serious concerns that the a/c drain line wasn't installed & they aren't telling me the truth. Contacting Chrysler customer service on Monday...again!
