Hey,

I posted about this in another thread. I was told that my vehicle may also be affected by these bloody stink bugs. I have been in touch with the dealership and FCA and have not had a detailed discussion over the phone about whether I was affected or not. They kinda avoided the topic.

My car landed in Port Kembla on the 12th April and I am going to finally pick it up on Friday. I will talk with them face to face then. If my car was indeed fumigated I will let you know whether the new car smell was affected. I was really looking forward to enjoying the smell. Fingers crossed I am in the clear.

Below is the article on the subject.

Womsirom, I hope you're in the clear. I just can't believe that after spending 70-80K on a car that it gets sheep drenched before you pick it up. I certainly hope that there'll be no residue on the seats, steering wheel and other parts.

There's a pretty nasty youtube video showing an infested car with the stink bugs. Nasty stuff as they burrow into the carpet's under-felt and in other tight spaces. That's why cars have to be fumigated for up to 90 hours. I know if I walk past an outdoor smoking area my clothes stink. Imagine a car smoked for 90 hours non-stop. They're using chemicals like methyl bromide as the fumigant. Research states that it is an odorless and colourless gas - but is poisonous to humans. Sad thing is that the effects of Methyl bromide poisoning has a delayed reaction.

That's all I need. There goes the last few hairs on my head...... :worried:

No different to when you get nuked on the plane landing in Oz.... empty a dozen cans of "stuff" into the plane before you can get off:eek: Never affected me twitch twitch:slapfight:

Steve1307 not sure what you have upgraded from but I can tell you my biggest letdown was coming from plenty of space in a nissan patrol to a jeep. The look big but the space isnt as useable.. but im not complaining everything else more than makes up for it.

I had a Holden Crewman petrol V6 for 11yrs. Shouldn't complain as it was a company car so I wasn't paying the bills.

but....

Back seats like church pews with no legroom and a "non weathertight" tonneau cover rear tray.

While a ute is handy for bikes etc, it was a bit painful picking the inlaws up from the airport or trying to carry anything if it was raining.

54L fuel tank and 19.0L/100km when towing a small van meant pretty poor range.


I had an RS Turbo AWD Subaru Liberty before that. Now that was a good car for weekend trips down to the snow.

......so went back to dealers.
The hassle of getting to and from any service centre and then having to do that again for updates, I would and have happily (maybe) paid extra to just have it all done at once. Or in the case of my dealer, do the service and ignore the updates and recalls.

I'm like Snuke, trying to find a good mechanic close to home, and then still have to deal with a dealer for all the updates. Meh! Provided I'm not getting seriously gouged, I'll pay that little bit extra to get the convenience of a courtesy car and all the updates. I'm also lucky that the car is being novated so I'm getting the fleet price on servicing which is quite a saving.

I'll keep an eye on what they are charging me in parts and investigate the BYO option.

I came from a 100 sahara landcruiser, and yes, the boot in the Jeep is small. Put a fridge in there and there isn't much room left, the height of the floor is a big part of the problem. But the uneek roof rack fixes all that.

I really miss my fridge under the arm rest.....
 
#13,315 ·
I came from a 150 Prado and yes the Jeep boot instantly looks smaller and the back door more sloping, however on both occasions travelling in the jeep somehow we have managed to squeeze all the same gear in the back same as the Prado and still see out the back window. So deceptive maybe. For us it works.

Has any one seen this article in the Herald Sun? Makes for very interesting reading.

Unfortunately we don't have the "LEMON" Laws that the US seem to have. If you go through the forums on JG quite a few seem to have been bought back by Jeep in the US. My experience thru the ACCC here was it became the dealerships responsibility. Had the April 13 built vehicle 4 days, 120km and returned to dealer, never drove it again. They just could not fix (Engine Vibration,HVAC,No Screens) due to lack of spares and too many electronic issues at the time. 3 months from original delivery date I receive a new replacement (July built). This one was all working fine until it's 1000km service other than the cooling system seemed a little weak for our summer heat but some updates were done!
It's going in on Monday again for the HVAC issue with JA permission to actually change some components in the system to try and investigate what's going on instead of just throwing updates at it. Unfortunately they thru all the updates available at this vehicle in an attempt to resolve the HVAC issues. In doing this they also did the transmission update that I had requested not to have done as mine was fine. Now it has the 1st to 2nd lag again and the diesel braking downshift is very harsh at low speeds (back to where it was 12 months ago). 14-104 was also carried out but still the clatter returns on occasions and other days it's absolutely perfect. This vehicle has never let me down and it performance is fantastic but I am totally disappointed in Jeeps ability and the onboard diagnostics to identify and rectify any abnormal issues with this vehicles systems.

Yep, typical, happy as I am with ours, even with one limp mode incident, I just don't feel confident about owning it long term.
I really do hope the all new Pajero is ticks all my boxes whenever it finally comes out.

would you consider looking at one of these Snuke?

Ford Australia

I was contemplating holding off buying my GC for one of these.

Not sure on the level of comfort and I have been spoilt now, even if it is only the Laredo.

The Ford Everest is what I am hanging out for, due to be released in July. A few months time and I'll have a hard decision to make. I've got no idea what I'm going to do.....

If you look at the new Mondeo and other recent Fords, I suspect the Everest will be loaded with tech.


Or maybe a Calais V8 Sportwagon ....

Or a BMW 328i....


Or wait for the new Alfa Guilia....



Or a Disco....

It's sad the GC ticks most of the boxes and to be down on power and 100nm of engine torque with most of the coming attractions would be a difficult decision. It's electronics lack of consistent operation is the GC major fault and that's a big concern that Jeep appear unwilling to rectify. Why so many updates and changes if it was right in the first place? "She will be right" Customer does the development for us.
I personally embrace the technology that Jeep have tried ON with the 14 series GC and try to be tolerant with the service guys trying to fix these vehicles but they have all failed miserably!

Well, I'm going against the grain here and will stand by the GC.

I refuse to be swayed by anything other than our own experience with the Jeep brand over the years from the vehicles themselves to the servicing of them. That is what counts for us.

The Grand for us, continues to deliver an excellent driving experience from day to day running around, to longer extended driving around the state (which is why it is due for its 50,000 km service) just shy of its two year delivery to us.

Whilst I acknowledge some owners have issues, I could counter that with our own horror stories about our ownership of the Mazda and the Holden Berlina (with the Berlina, we went into battle with Holden).

Our experience with Jeep - both vehicles and servicing (in and out of warranty) means that when the 5th gen of GC is released here (2018?) we will be trading in the current WK2 for that release.

With regards to the purchase of other vehicles, (there will always be Jeeps in our driveway however, so adding rather than replacing) I am getting very interested in the Maserati Levante - unveiled at next years Detroit show (Jan). At least I should be familiar with its Uconnect system. :)

It's encouraging to read a positive post SJandL. It's human nature that people rant and rave when something goes wrong but never bother to go into print if everything is hunky dory, hence it seems in these threads that almost everyone is having a bad spin.

For my own part I've just done a short 1500km trip towing the van and the GC performed brilliantly. Avg fuel consumption just over 11L/100kms. Even drove in torrential rain :eek:

Only done 7600kms in 11 months but hasn't missed a beat so far. Only minor gripe is GPS that has little idea where you are sometimes but if you look at the scale of new roadworks both north and south of Sydney I'm not surprised.
Cheers
Ian
