At this pace, I'll either never change my car or will never buy a car again.

It's a Jeep so you're really gonna need that warranty too, lmao

Had a chat with a fella on that other site a while ago who said he wanted to buy another Grand Cherokee after being from a Jeep family and previously owning Jeeps... And ended up getting a lightly used BMW X5 for less money, more power and a better interior. It's probably going to last him longer too. And that was one of them fancy uber complex V8 X5's that Americans prefer. If you get one with the inline 6 (particularly the diesel 6 that isn't available in the US lol), the engine is also rock solid.

JEEP: Just Empty Every Pocket

I had literally just recommended that my brother in law check out jeeps for his next vehicle. I have just corrected that recommendation! No jeeps.

Time to replace that stereo head, but it sucks that you’d be forced to due to POP UP ADS!

a glitch where we had our ad team write the marketing material and setup a call center that would process these policies on the backend and training the backend call center staff to process these policies and built out backend systems to store and process said policies and a mechanism to push ads to the car. Besides all the a total glitch

This zero-tolerance permanent unforgivability mentality is super common now. Why would you not consider buying a Jeep in say 20 years, when every person responsible for making or implementing some heinous decision that outrages you right now probably won't even work there anymore?

If they change course in the next 5 years, so be it. But right now, Jeep took some dev time to develop this, meaning they plan to use it at some point.

They deserve to lose the trust of the consumer because they gave us a peek behind the curtain and it fucking sucks.

Stop being pro-corpo, they are not your friend and they will piss on your corpse if that means they get a dollar more.
