Default Any 2012 Feedback? Need advise

So I'm sick of my 2008 2 dr. Granted I have the lifetime power train warranty but i'm tired of something breaking every couple of months. I also need to get a 4 door vehicle as my 2 dr isn't that baby friendly. My question to you folks is the 2012s any better/more reliable or should I look for a different vehicle? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if getting a 2012 will stop you from having to take it to the shop all the time. I have mine since Nov 2011 and have taken it in about 8-9 times all ready and I'm waiting for a head to show up now so there is a least one more trip for me in the near future. Don't get me wrong I still love my Jeep just tired of bringing into the shop for repairs.

I feel the same way. I love it, it just gets to be a PITA to take it in all the time.

Ordered m JKU sport in jan with manual trans and max tow. Picked it up in February. Now has 5600 miles. Absolutely trouble free and a joy to drive. About 400 miles was pulling a 3500 toy hauler. I love it. A coworker bought a jkur in january. He also loves his and has had no problems.

5700 now. At 500 replaced throw out bearing, 2 days later back in the shop to fix a leak from the transfer case as a result of them not putting everything back right.
