Just got a new Jeep Cherokee 2020 high altitude and I love it so far except for a few thing! Why are there panel gaps on a new car?? Is this common with the Jeep assembly line? Also the hood was very difficult to close when I popped it open for the first time! It makes your mind go in the wrong direction and think was this car in an accident on a test drive?? Looking forward to your reply, thanks!
