Bought in July '07
13,300 miles
Only problem I had was a squealing sound while moving (auto tranny). The dealer replaced both front wheel bearings and it seemed to cease. This was before the TSB for the front axle came out. Otherwise, have just had the other recall services done.

Bought mine in Nov 2006, 8600 miles on it now.
The TSB for the transmission knock is about my only problem, which has led to the exhaust rattling now. I guess they took it off to fix the tranny and just isn't sitting right now. I'm sure it's a quick fix, I just need the time to take it in.
Passenger side mirror ding.
I've got no complaints at all.

bought March 07, 16k+ been to the shop 3 times for leaks in the soft top.
-windshield header leaks. 2 tries waiting on parts to fix
-Top leaks down the B pillar. 2 tries waiting on parts to fix
-Not enough fabric in the rear off top, water runs down the inside of the tailgate fills the rear of the jeep with water. DC waits to just have it patched by interior repairman. NOT going to happen.
-clunking noise in the b pillar not fixed after 3 tries.
Other than that we love it. But if they dont replace the top instead of a patch job. I will file a lemon law on it.

June '07 with just over 8000 miles.
On second soft top, first one the rear windows (3) didn't fit right so they finally got me a new top after a lot of fuss.
Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd when cold and a noticeable clack when shifting to 2nd. Been in three times for this. Going in again Thursday for this same problem but to a different dealer per Chrysler's request.
Everything else is good to go and we love the JK. Had a TJ before, can't decide which I like better. Probably the JK when I get the transmission issue resolved.

9/16/06 - 20,000 ish.
Stall bug resulting in body damage.
Brake, Stall and Noisy Top TSB's done.
Still love it.
Almost forgot. All window surrounds were becoming wavy and they were stick about 3/4" away from the metal surround, and was catching water. Replaced under warranty.

I got my 4 door Sahara in October 2006 - now have 48,000 miles on it. So far no problems except TSB's. Give me your mileage - date of purchase - and what problems you have had that weren't caused by Mod's.I installed the 2"FT BB lift and am running 305 65 18 BFG All terrain KO's ( about 34" tires) - Home made CAI -Grille Mod -Traded side steps for OEM Rock Rails (thanks to a member)- Installed OEM drivers side mirror relocation bracket(which comes with a mirror) on drivers side. (They don't make a passenger side on - even for the European market.) Trying to design my own Snorkel and am working on bumpers.
