....unfortunately is being pushed back to the 3rd quarter. From an excellent source. Sorry folks
So far, none of the 1,100 that I mentioned being built so far are in KZ; no CRD's will be shipping this week.(Gut still says Friday).
Nothing to be fixed as nothing is broken... that's all I can say .Are they going to also be properly fixed before shipping?
Congrats to you, and may you and your son one day do all you envision in your JGC.Well guys first off here is my guess to the issue... applying window stickers to all of the cars!!!! This could be because of late mileage calculations or EPA certification (and government shutdown is slowing this to a standstill?).
Secondly, even though this put a slight damper on my day.. hearing I wont get my Jeep for at least another 7-10 days minimum.... I found out I will be having a little boy next February! Ultrasound was today and once I saw that I envisioned us offroading in the Jeep, pulling a trailer with some dirtbikes or quads loaded on it, heading out hiking or camping via the Grand Cherokee, and playing hockey... which you can loosely relate to the grand cherokee since it will haul our gear.
Anyway long day, mixed emotions in some ways but amazing day in the end! Now lets get the Jeep here so I can get it ready for his arrival in a few months!
AndEverything built for the past couple weeks has the update in place. Many (well most) of the gas models that had already left prior to that and were affected got the update off site. Problem was they found something else diesel specfic, and bc of the lack of space around here, they elected to do THAT update off site in those same "other" places.. Last I heard (yesterday), none of the diesels had got it yet though, bc they're still "updating" shipped gas cars with earlier buid dates. Nothing is in repair for that recall though in the plant. Again, all the late September builds are ok. Minus diesels. They have their own needs. But not the ones built after last Thursday. They're ok.
2) and 3) were correct, so skipping those.Correction: I don't know this to be FACT. I'm assuming now. Which I abhor. (Hence this clarification..)
I was told last Thursday about the movement and the "issue" and what was implied was that the issue was being resolved fairly quickly. And it was (is) my assumption that it wouldn't affect anything else thereafter, mainly bc we have no diesels in repair for it, and haven't stopped building them. But I could be wrong. Everything could be getting done offsite, without a production stop. I'm not sure at the moment... Just wanted to be clear on that.
And the idea that there was at least one thing "fix related" and one thing "non-fix related" seemed to be re-inforced by:The recall is not related to anything to do with the Diesel Conversation at the moment except the statement following.
The "software" that may be needed to load to correct "lights" in the display can be loaded at the dealer and would be part of the pre-delivery on any JGC as is always done with Recalls on SOLD units. Just means there is nothing really to think about, It will apply to a certain VIN range and anything that was not done at the factory will be done by the dealer.
** Just keep the Recall and the Diesel Conversation Separate as it won't affect Diesel buyers as long as the fix for the RECALL is released before the Diesels **
Due to the mention of "both 'things' are being addressed" and "They just need a lil attention".Close, but no cigar.. But very close.
I'll be down at one of the larger offsite yards tomorrow and will check on the ones that left last weekend... But no worries, both 'things' are being addressed. However, as you implied, some things are out of our hands.
But just look at it like this, some people will have a headstart in shipping when the coveted 'KZ' shows up, as none of those cars are coming back to JNAP. They just need a lil attention.
In the words of Robin Williams (His Scottish Personality) "and they put a flag up there to give you a wee bit of HOPE"All we really know is, "there is a steady stream of things that prevents shipping indefinitely".
