We’ve had our Altitude for 3 months and 1600 miles and have loved every minute of it! Only “issues” we’ve had if you can call them issues is the high beam not working in auto mode and we had one interior light not working. The high beam issue was fixed with a recall and our interior light just had a bad connection and it was fixed. Would highly recommend purchasing one.

Anyone buy a 2021 GCL and not have any problems so far?

I had an issue with it not raising (passenger seat). I opened the rear door and pushed down on the seat firmly with both hands and it started working. Other than that I could not be happier with my Summit.

I just picked up an Altitude 4x4 for my other half and we love it so far, the only issue we’ve noticed is the heated steering wheel doesn’t work. The dash button most of the time doesn’t do anything and if you use the soft button on the Uconnect it turns on for a second then turns off. Haven’t had a chance to take it back to the dealer. Also a little disappointed that you can’t get the Alpine system in the Altitude as the base sound system is crap. The 20 GC Altitude we traded in for this had it so that was a step backwards. Hopefully Crutchfield or someone will tear into one soon so I can start swapping the speakers to something nicer sounding.
Where in the vehicle is the tow eye stored?
I have had my Summit for almost 2 months. I love the car but are having some issues with the App and WiFi
The Jeep Connect App hasn't work with my since i got a new phone (Iphone 13).
Wifi has never worked.
Since i was planning on paying for these services after the trial, it's not a big deal, but its a hard way to sell these services.

I have the same Whistling with my '21 GC Limited L that I've had for 2 months, but I figured I'd have them look at it on my 1st oil change (as well as anything else that comes up).

Can you tell me where to find the wind noise fix? I see several saying they have the same issue, but I didn't find how they fixed it.

Third row seat won't fold down again on my limited. This was already fixed once by the dealer. Have to bring it back there. Seems like an ongoing issue

Wind whistling with windows down
Anyone else notice if you're cruising around 60+MPH with windows down, there is a wind whistling pitch towards front passenger side?

You're not going to see the thousands come on here and all post complaints about not having problems. You're only going to see posts that speak to problems.
I have a '21 Gladiator EcoDiesel and I love when people get on the FB groups and say "all they see are people complaining about problems with the motor" but it's one a week and there are 100k plus just in that group alone. Now I'm no mathematician but those numbers do not indicate a massive problem, nor should they on here. Even less people sign up for and use a Forum group like this outside of social media, all the more reason to believe most are tech heavy or have an issue and hoping someone else has too and can help.
Don't sweat it, it's a new vehicle and it will have it's bugs to be worked out. Overall it's a great vehicle and not much of the vehicle is actually "new". The drive train is in everything CDJR makes, the Uconnect is in several of their vehicles for 2 years now and even the fancy suspension has been used for years on other platforms. It's just an art getting it all to work in harmony on a new platform. Buy it, you won't regret it!
Side not Jeep Waves is actually legit if you call and open a case on something. People tend to forget that path and just go with only the dealer. Really helps to have Jeep Wave involved when you can.
I am having a problem with one of my third row seats not folding down. What did they do to fix it ? Sounds like the replacement part was faulty just like the original part.

I've owned my 2021 Summit Reserve for about a month with no problems so far.

I have around 900 miles on mine. It was built in October. No major problems so far. Only problems I have encountered seem to be with the Jeep App not being able to start or unlock and lock the Jeep consistently (hardly ever works) and the hotspot not working. I have also noticed that every now and then the remote does not start the Jeep on the first try. When it happens I only hear one horn beep and no start instead of a beep then the car starts and it beeps again. I’m sure these issues will probably get fixed with a software update.

I bought my Overland 2 and 1/2 months ago. I have 6,500 mi on it. Aside from a few little computer wonkiness issues, that iron themselves out very quickly. Quickly. The car has been nothing but fantastic! And yes I know I'm lucky.

We have a Limited. Had to unlink keys to profiles, otherwise the seats were situating into weird positions. The rear detection isn't as good as what we had with Subaru (especially for pedestrians), and I'm puzzled why a $50k car doesn't have an auto dimming rear view mirror. But the engine and transmission are smooth, the ride nice, and the room great. Nice sound system. All in all happy, but it will get some miles in the next month (2500 now - that will double) and I can report back. That said, pretty pleased all in all.
