Hi Scotty,

At the beginning of last year I bought an '18 ecodiesel Grand Cherokee Summit 4x4 new from a dealer in Seattle, WA, flew out (found a cheap flight), and drove it back to NC.  I know how much you ADORE FCA vehicles and I imagine the Italian-designed engine makes your heart skip a beat or two. Sorry, but she's not for sale {black}:sweaty:  

Anyway, with the car sitting on a dealer lot in the PNW for that long without really being driven (had 71 miles on it when I took possession, and a solid chunk of those were from the salesman driving it to the airport to pick me up), what are some things I need to look out for?  With the car being an FCA Jeep, what are some things I need to look out for? 😆 😆 😥  

In the 19 months I've had it I have put 36k miles on the odo and am now in a situation where I have to put new tires on it even though they're rated for 65k. I figured the time spent sitting through all four seasons twice may have degraded the rubber, but I also know there was an issue with one being out of balance after a rotation, and later found out that instead of actually balancing the wheel, the local dealer just moved it to the back. It's this type of slow-burn stuff that has me worried my money pit will turn into a money canyon.

Thanks for any pointers, love your YT channel!
