Mine was purchased last day of July and it has 10,200 miles. If it was my Daily vehicle it would have 25,000+ already. Thank goodness for my little TDI Golf.
November 2013
38,800 miles
Incorrect DEF error message at 35,600. Rev. E software update. MIL light now on since 38,700. Another appointment at the dealership on Wednesday.
It's been a great car overall, but this emissions thing may be its downfall.
I love the range, off road capability, comfort and convenience. But if the diesel emissions are going to die every year then this is a liability. And Chrysler is going to get sued if they even look like balking at handling the continuing cost. They already got torn a new one for bad cats on older vehicles.
24900+ with no major issues thus far. I think the key to no major issues so far as the emissions controls are concerned can be attributed to driving at highway speeds for a considerable portion of my commute to/from work, which also adds considerably to oil life.
I thought the same thing until the emissions issues started cropping up after 35000 trouble free miles. 90% of my driving is done between 45 and 75 mph with very little city driving.
Mine is low mileage - I bought it in March 2014 and it has 13K miles.
Two months ago I met another JGC CRD owner in San Jose CA whose rig had 35K miles on it. He is a high-mileage user and it was about a year old, IIRC. He's owned several Diesels and he was mildly happy with this JGC. I have no idea if he's on this forum.
Agree with the OP, the 1st to report in with 100K miles, let's have an internet party! I am hoping to get 300K+ out of mine.
We have had the diesel in australia for a while now, mine is less than a year old and has ~9,000kms on it. But if I look at the car sales sites, here's one with some miles on it:
Second MIL indication in the past three months. The first one (a "ghost" code) cleared itself after seven start cycles. This MIL still illuminated after five start cycles. Strange thing is, both MILs came on at exactly the same geographic location, heading, and speed, but three months apart.
I have 23000 trouble free miles on my 2014 jeep overland. I received it in November of 2013 and was one of the first diesel jeeps out. I added Dom's skidplate with about 15,000 miles on it. I tow a 5000lb trailer for 200 miles about every 10,000 miles. I almost always use 100% diesel, but about every three tanks I will get a tank of B5. I did have the service phone message, but an update fixed that. I have to add a quart of oil once between my 8000 mile oil changes.
Seem odd to have to add (1) quart. When does it start to go down on the stick? I have 4000+ Miles since my last change at 3,000 and it has not went down a bit on the stick. I'm using Pennzoil Ultra Euro L. My dealer changed it at 3,000 for free. I'm going 5,000+ before I change it again.
I had to add a quart after about 5000 miles the first two oil changes. I was doing a good amount of towing both times. I have gone 4000 miles this oil change and the level hasn't dropped at all. I use the factory penzoil.
Mine has 14K miles on it. At every fillup I check the oil. Every time. Fortunately it has never needed additional oil, the level on the dipstick stays constant.
27,000 kms tranny and donk, smooth as silk. Did a 16,000 kms trip to top end and down west coast back to Tasmania fully loaded and pulling a camper trailer fully loaded.
No codes
No dpf issue.
Did have both front axles replaced at 1000 kms all good, no further action.
Took the WK2 out to Cape Peron national park and onto Herald Bight beach standard running gear, vehicle exceeded my expectations..... Fingers crossed but I love this vehicle, ticks all the boxes for me.
Cheers
28000 miles---had the SCR cat replaced and flashes done.
Delivery 1 week before Thanksgiving 2013 (so this is another of the first GC North American diesels)
I bought it for my wife so I get reports from her when Cel is on or anything else comes up and gotta admit this is the roughest start of " letting wife drive a new problem free vehicle" I have experienced. She loves the performance and when I tell her I will switch cars with her she always says No way! BTW I drive a modded 05 TJ manual shift.
Purchased my 2014 3.0L Turbodiesel in November, 2013. Have 62,700 miles on it to date. Have done all the oil changes (10k miles standard) and fuel filter change myself.
Had it in the shop twice; once to have DEF crystallization dealt with and secondly to have the CAT replaced. Both were warrantied. Had the original transmission shudder but a re-flash dealt with that and I've felt no shudder in 30k miles.
I have been very satisfied with this vehicle. Heck, I still have the original Michelin Latitudes on and will easily get to 70k on them. Going back with Michelin LTX's.
I too have a November 2013 purchased 2014 JGC. Dealer said it was the first one in Maine! It currently has 29,000 miles. It was in the shop last summer for DEF crystallization issues (2 1/2 weeks!) and is currently in the shop for an unknown system shutdown (possible CAT). Also waiting for replacement front early warning accident sensing unit. Otherwise it has been enjoyable. I am reserving some comments until I find out what the current issue is and how long it will be out of service this time. At least the service guys at my dealer have been good to deal with. Just wish I wasn't quite so familiar to them.
In the shop now for a blown cruise switch. The ACC/FCW system goes on and off intermittently. I'll be driving down the highway when the "BRAKE" warning flashes in the EVIC as if I'm about to crash. This, of course, is not a diesel specific issue. I love the Jeep and hope to keep it around for a long time.
I was also one of the first...November 2013. 30k+ miles and the only problem has been the cat, waiting for my first (and hopefully last) replacement now. Very happy overall with my first diesel.
