You don't know whether you will have the problem or not. And that is the fun of Jeep ownership. Everyday is a new adventure. Think of it this way, everyday that it starts up and sounds fine is like winning the lotto. No whammies no whammies no whammies....stop! Who knnew there could be so much excitement by just turning a key.

Same as above... I have a 12' with 1500 miles and no issue.. Except that water gurgling sound when starting up? I that a heater thing? I live in Florida and will probably never use my heat. Is it something that needs to be checked out ASAP? Thanks

My 2 door 12JK has 2300 miles and a build date of 5/12. It's always run perfectly and has no QC issues. The only flaw is the mirror dent I put in the cowling.
