Have limited. 300 plus miles and about 3 weeks. All systems go so far. Cross my fingers. Wish I spent more $$ to get the Overland though. Just seems to look nicer

2200 miles on our Summit Reserve. No problems so far.
Altitude with 500 miles now, been awesome.
First week of having it did have a some weird radio/CarPlay quirks that seemed to have gone away, guess it did an update on wifi? With the exception of XM will cut out sometimes when a passenger is using the phone that is plugged into the usb.

I have 3300 miles on my Overland. So far it's been an absolutely quiet joy to drive.
Only issues I have is the wireless phone connection which, I will hopefully get fixed at my first oil change.

Jeep Crorp says they cannot find any issues with my Jeep and there have been no TSB issues for this GCL.

Summit owner with 1500 miles and no major complaints. Jeep Connect didn’t work for a few weeks but that’s minor. CarPlay is okay, maybe update would make better. Never had a car with flawless Bluetooth though. Overall very happy.
I posted the TSBs and the STAR case# for the radio in another post for you; take them to a different dealer.
I haven't had a single issue with mine so far, knock on wood. Even the CarPlay issues everyone complains about is fine on mine.
2021 GCL Limited with all available options. Actually has quite a bit of quality issues.
Upon purchasing the car I noticed 3 dents on the door panels (2 on the drivers side and 1 on the passenger side) along with a few scratches.
On the inside, the dash panel was a bit warped and lifting above the tweeters and I found out that one of my rear passenger windows was not functioning with some sort of electrical issue.
All in all, not a tremendous issue but I purchased the car 2 weeks ago and I've been driving a toyota loaner from the day I purchased it as the car has been in the shop trying to bring it to brand new standards.
For a 55k car, I'm disappointed with Jeeps quality control before selling to a loyal customer. I tried to push back on the dealer to get me a new vehicle with all of these quality issues but ofcourse there was no action and no support from jeep corporate when I reached out to them. I guess, opening the dash, fixing electric issues, and repainting door panels are what you get when you buy anew car in 2021.
The biggest frustration was the loaner, the dealer actually made me go to an enterprise and rent the loaner toyota shit box on my own credit card with the promise that they will reimburse me if I stayed below a 40$ per day budget..... let's just say this wouldn't have happened if I was at volvo or Audi...

also forgot to mention that I'm also having the same apple car play issue. Moral of the story, great vehicle, great design, but major design quality and execution issues. I don't think Jeep is ready to handle this as the service manager at my dealer never even drove the car before seeing my issues first hand. I feel that a better warranty and training process is needed fo the boots on the ground dealer teams. My concern is that when they don't understand how to fix these issues, they end up doing more harm then good to my car. Lsat thing I want is medical malpractice!

Sounds frustrating. Feel free to send our team a private message if you'd like to discuss further. Thanks.

Question is, why the hell would you buy a vehicle with so many obvious visual flaws to begin with?

Summit Reserve V6, purchased in July, 1200 miles driving, another 500 miles towing it behind my motorhome...currently on a cross country trip from NC. No problems so far. We love the quality, ride and experience each time we get behind the wheel. Hopefully, that will continue as we love this vehicle. All that we had hoped for and more.
Have an Altitude with just under 1K miles here and noticed a couple of minor but annoying issues:
- High beams do not turn on in auto setting - please help if i'm using these incorrectly
- Check rear seat notification comes on sometimes when I turn off the car with nothing on the rear seats
- Very noticeable (high pitch) wind noise at 50+mph with one or all windows completely down/partially down to the point I prefer to close the window cause it's that noticeable
Do a search for your issues…all are addressed in these forums.
