It was a GW III from 2022. It was purchased in May and had a April 22 build date. I am sure that a lot of the bugs regarding to software and the other annoying things (to be expected on a first model year) are getting worked out and our engine failure was probably just bad luck. We had no issue with the small problems as those will get worked out. As stated the big problem is how they designed the AC system. This can’t simply be changed. I learned more about that AC system than I ever wanted to. The AC compressor, blowers and vents are to small to effectively cool the large interior of that car if you live in hot weather. There is no fix for this as they would have to redesign the system or make major changes. And unfortunately if you live in a hot area (I live in Phoenix) the system will struggle and your passengers, especially in the middle row, will constantly complain. We had to buy small fans that attached to the headrests to blow air on the second row to try and help. My wife could not take clients out as they would complain about it being to hot. The middle vents are very small and don’t have enough power to blow cold air comfortably on your passengers. There will be a 15-20 degree difference between the temperature coming out of the front vents and the temperature coming out of the back when it hot outside. Unfortunately the unit is working as designed so all that Jeep/FCA will tell you is that it is working within in spec, which is true, so there is nothing for them to fix because they can’t.
My wife loved the car (putting aside the engine issues) and it was her favorite car she had owned up until it got to 100+ in temperature and than it was no good for what we needed it for. If it is just the 2 or you and not driving a lot of people around you might get by or if you don’t live in a very hot climate. This would be a great car for California. Best of luck.
