I've had mine for 2 years and the only problem was the compass quit working correctly. I haven't taken it in to fix that problem yet. I would recommend a Jk to everyone

 

Julian, I've also walked the same path and have the same opinion. I mean the other day I went by a Mobil 1 service station and pulled in for an oil change. I had 1 quart of oil left in the JK. It has 37k on the vehicle and I have an oil leak. For everyone, at 1 qt there is a slight ding which if you have the radio on you will not hear.

Crawled underneath the thing and the seal to oil pan looked fine but the bolts only 2 inches above it were loose so I tightened them up. Not one scratch on the oil pan so I didn't hit anything it just started leaking. Now every night I crawl under it to see if any new oil is leaking. It's hard as hell to tell because my whole underside is full of oil. I tend to think at least twice a month why didn't I just get the tundra super cab. Bigger engine more power, blah blah and no issues!!!

I still love it so I cannot explain.

 

Ive had mine about a year or so and have 16000 miles on it and have had no problems. Its not a car or a V8 truck. Its a jeep. ITs the best of both worlds.
convertible that you can drive anywhere. I would get another one.

 

14,000 miles and I've had a boat load of issues. Leaky top, ball joints, tie rod, steering bo, axle seal leak. It has been a nightmare. But as others have said I still have mine. I just can't seem to part with it because there is no other vehicle like it. I really wish Crapsler would just get their act together and improve quality.

 

I love it with all of its warts!--its been mentioned numerous times in the preceeding replies, there's nothing else like it in the world-period.-I cannot imagine owning any other car or truck, period. nothing. I'm that much of a freak about it. I have never in my life, literally, dreamed of giving a vehicle to my son when its time to "pass the torch" so to speak. Lately though, it may be passed to my daughter-they'll have to wrestle for the keys!

 

Well I started this thread before I had my Jeep, mainly because of all the negativity I was reading about the JK. I have owned 2 - 4x4s in the past, 1- Chevy and 1-Ford, and had all sorts of issues, that turned me against the big 3. I was very reluctant to spend $30,000 on a vehicle that seemed to have all sorts of "Odd" problems, and I was just going to get a 2006, but I just liked the look of the JK better. Well just after Thanksgiving I found a used 2008 Rubicon for a deal I could not pass up, so far no issues and I just love driving it ! Every time I go somewhere, I feel like it's an adventure...and I"m gettin' it done! I have to say I enjoy this vehicle more than any other I've owned

 

Love it, despite some initial problems.

 

Loved my first one so much I bought another one two years later!!!

 

11/ 08 with 22,000 and I still turn around and check it out every time I get out of it! It is my first Jeep and there isn't another vehicle out there I would rather have.

 

Most of the problems are fixed on the 08'- and 09', I'm an 07' though and I have had 0 Problems
