Default Is my Jeep a counterfeit???

I'm starting to become concerned that my Jeep is a counterfeit. I've noticed some really strange things that make me think that my rig is not a real Jeep.

1- My hard top does not rattle, squeek or leak.

2- My Jeep does not burn oil. I check the oil level every week but it's never low.

3- Even though my Jeep is lifted with larger than stock tires I am not able to experience death wobble. I've driven over RR tracks, hit bumps and pot holes but no matter how hard I try, nothing. My steering is not flighty or loose and my Jeep does not pull to either side.

4- I cannot get my transmission to overheat. I've tried towing a trailer in the middle of the summer but I can't even get the warning chime to go off.

5- So far I have not been able to get my Jeep to catch on fire.

6- I do not have any electrical gremlins, weird huh?

7- My ball joints are still tight.

So what the heck is going on here?? Did I buy a fake Jeep???

Somehow after reading all of the posts on this Forum I feel like I am not getting the complete Jeep experience.

No offense if you are having problems with your Jeep, just trying to start off your Monday with a little humor...

You must have a rebadged Honda, or only 10 miles on it!

You do realize you reopened a can of worms

Definitely in the minority. It is refreshing to sign on here and sometimes see someone take the time to post that they aren't having problems.
1, 2, 5, 6, & 7 apply to me as well. I am not lifted yet so I can't claim #3. I also have never towed a trailer but my Auto hasn't even given me a warning chime.

Consult your local FBI office, you have been scammed. I am sure however, for a few thousand dollars and a little abuse, we can help you get the "Full Jeep experience".

I've had my 08 4Dr JK (28 K miles) for a few months now and have not had any real issues! My only complaint (wife concurs) is I spend a crazy amount of time ready this forum and planning Mods. Love the free ones BTW.
