Default Anyone having problems with their JK?

Just like the title says, is anyone having problems with their JK? By this I mean, are things breaking easy, mechanical failures, or computer problems, etc. I'm just trying to get a sense of how reliable DC's new product is.

This is on the forum in other threads but the biggest three complaints I know of are 1. The cheap plastic dash, paint, and QC on other finishing details like having to drill the mirror because the drain hole is obscured. 2. The Stall bug (search for it) 3. I know of a few people who have had an oil leak due to bad rear seals there is a "new and improved" seal that replaces it but that still means a few days in the shop as they pull the transmission to replace it even though it is covered. Oh there is a number 4. The lack of aftermarket parts and the length of time it takes to get those that are available.
Now not everyone has all 3 problems and some of us seem to have lucked out on them but others have had these problems enough so it is worth noting. With all of it no one I know has said they no longer want their jeep just wish the problems either were solved or never happened.

Yeah, it isn't free, and uses gas instead of diesel, hydro, or solar power.

Start at the first sticky and work your way down, nothing to major but I'm waiting until the big bugs (for me) are worked out.

I can't speak for everyone but I think I am among the high mileage group with 12,000 in less than 6 months. I have had ZERO problems. I don't like the plastic and it seems the paint chips/scratches easier than expected but other than these minor details it is a great vehicle overall. Now ask me agian when I have 120,000 miles on it.
