Wagoneer Panel Alignment...is this common or a one-off?

[tbm5690]

Snapped when I was behind a Wagoneer a few days ago. I'm appalled at how bad the liftgate alignment is, and there is no way I would accept this if I forked over the cash for one of these. I hope this one was in a collision and had a poor repair job? Is poor panel alignment common on these?

Doesn’t look closed all the way.

It is closed. the bottom right shows it's flat with the bumper but tweaked up. Hope they realize that and take it back to the dealer.

The hitch cover looks terrible too. Because Stellantis.

I have seen three where the right side is misaligned.

Sometimes it's due to collision repair

I’ve never looked close enough but these things are everywhere around here. Yes it’s the land of Teslas but it’s also the land of those apparently.

I have heard from acquaintances that work at Stellantis dealers that the build quality on these is atrocious. Like right off the truck and there are wild panel misalignment and the dash is a Christmas tree.

My sons Godfather has one and the exterior is similar in the rear and on the passenger side front door. Amazing how it is for such a costly vehicle. I do find the interior comfortable and pleasing to me. It must be me but I don't know how Jeep can charge what they do with the products they put out and people keep buying. I really do like the higher-end Cherokee's as well but low level trust in reliability for that coin.

Don't think it's "typical", here's the one we test drove:
