Jeep Wrangler Diesel And Rubicon Delays - PR Spin Or Fact!

Are Jeep Australia spinning a line to Aussie Wrangler buyers?
Read any of the Australian Jeep Forums or talk to anyone who has a Wrangler Rubicon or Diesel on order and you will find a long tale of frustration, all sorts of dealer excuses and some very ordinary examples of  PR spin from Chrysler Jeep Australia executives trying to fend off enquiries from unhappy Jeep customers.

What is really going on here?
Some customers and dealers are being told about factory fires, shortages of transfer cases and axles, and other tales of woe that are causing delays in production. It seems it is not just Australian buyers effected either as some European countries are experiencing similar issues. But then you visit the Jeep UK website and find them promoting that you can make a "Special Order" and build the ultimate Jeep, Petrol or Diesel and even Rubicon.

Jeep Compass 2012 Gets ANCAP 4 Star Rating

After only achieving a European NCAP Crash Rating of 2 Stars due to Euro pedestrian impact requirements the Australian analysis and testing criteria has given the new Compass a 4 Star ANCAP rating.

 ANCAP was provided with technical information which showed that the 4x4 2.4 litre petrol variant can be expected to have comparable crashworthiness to the tested diesel variant. 
The tested model of Jeep Compass was introduced in Australia during 2012. This rating applies to 4x4 variants with a 2.4 litre petrol or 2.2 litre diesel engine and six airbags (see below). Dual front airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment.
