What âJeep Doesnât Want You To Knowâ
Subtle quality concerns: The video flags reports of issues such as squeaky suspension components, dash-rattle noise, and uneven panel gapsâespecially in early production models.

Should You Be Concerned?
Performance and off-road capability remain Jeep-strongâitâs still a beast on the trail.
