Default Positive JK Reliability Stories??

...read a lot about problems and quirks with the JK on this forum and all very helpful from time to time.

But how about hearing from those that have had their JK's a while and have zero to minimal issues??

WE have ~13,000 miles in the 9 months we've owned our 4x4 Unlimited X Auto. Our JK has been trouble free- no hood flutter, no leaks, no death-wobble, no electrical issues, etc.

I've owned 5 or more premium SUV's (Infiniti, Mercedes, Porsche) over the recent 9 years and this JK has been no less reliable than any of those that came before it. And it is hands-down our favorite.

Comments??

I don't know if the rest of you have this problem ... I just can't keep that damn smile off my face every time I look at my JK.

I'm with you...I love these Jeeps. I wish I had "discovered" Jeep years ago!!

Great feedback, y'all! Good to read the positive side of living with a JK.

The only issue that I have had that was not my own fault was the cracked exhaust manifold.

I am also weird in that I love my dealsership. They have been nothing but helpful and very professional to me. Huntington Beach Jeep in Huntington Beach, CA...On Beach Blvd, a mile or so south of the 405 freeway. I would go back to them for a purchase, or service any day of the week.
