First year Trailblazers were held on the lots and dealerships had to send wreckers out to pick up ones already delivered due to lower control arm issues. I don't remember how long it took them to redesign the LCA, but customers were pissed. First year vehicles always bring the suck. Warranties are good, but when you have to wait for a company to figure out a fix, it's not fun.

Ok here is the main input on a 2014 cherokee.... if you get one and have a problem... take it back to the dealer. It is what is called a "warranty"...
2 nd if you are going to come in and ask how to mod it... no one here knows a dam thing about the ugly fiat built jeep. And no one makes anything aftermarket for it.....
So what possible answers can you get from a forum pertaining to 2001 and older cherokees? Zip zero nada...... that's what the stand on 2014 "cherokees" are.

Those pesky customers always think you should, lol.
Does this same rhetoric stand for WJs, WKs, WK2s? I mean it is CHEROKEEforum right? When people start buying these, and they will, those people will google "Cherokee" and end up here asking questions in the forum. Guaranteed. So what's the plan? Just hate on all those people?
This is a XJ forum though... Just like there are 3rd gen Camaro sites, 460 sites, and so on. I believe someone already made a KL forum, then there's JeepForum, and AllPar just to start. So there are places for owners to go to post. I just don't think we need to cater to every vehicle here with "Cherokee" in its name. This section is good enough and even then, I don't think many people here will have much to add.

Guess we are going to ignore every KL question?

Thanks folks. I really appreciated your frank comments. You will have dopes like me showing up asking questions, I'm already here, right ? 
. But I've already learned what the new model is! I won't be modifying anything....I but I have certain requirements in my next vehicle and on paper anyway the 2014 is a big contender. I'll try to find a model specific forum, but I'll lurk here too.....

Just my opinion though.

I agree mostly. I don't think you can say this is a XJ forum though because we have a whole section dedicated to Grand Cherokees. What I am saying is KL owners will post questions here unless we some how make it very clear we don't deal with KLs. Are you assuming that people who buy the KL and look for answers won't come to Cherokeeforum? There are way to many uninformed vehicle owners out there to think KL owners won't come here.
Guess we are going to ignore every KL question?

Just like SJ owners who ask questions, people can either try to help or point them to a better website. ZJs and WJs still use some of the same powertrain components as our XJs. I see nothing wrong with the inclusion of them here because of this. These newer vehicles have nothing in common with our XJs, other than being "Jeeps" and "Cherokees".
I am not arguing whether they belong or not. I don't really care. If you read my post above I encourage the potential KL owner to post here in other vehicles. My only point is KL cherokee owners will post here because they see "Cherokeeforum" and "Cherokee" on their hatch.
