I have a 2008 JK Unlimited and I had quite a few problems with my jeep (repalced computer, replaced clutch, replaced rear main seal, etc) with only 60K miles on it. I wonder if 2012 JKU any better in reliability. I'm considering trading for a 2012. What are some of the common issues experienced in 2012 JK so far?
Only had my 2012 for 2 days, but just traded in my 2011 and it was exactly the same inside and out except the new engine and tranny. I had no problems with the 2011.

I haven't had any major issues.
I did have a little problem with the 730N RHR. It wouldn't recognize pictures on a thumb drive. The solution was weird. The same thumb drive, same picture files worked after adding mp3 files to the drive. I guess it needs to read mp3 files to recognize data.

I love it other than a paint blemish that's driving me crazy and a slight alignment issue. Both should be fixable under warranty. I'm afraid I had a Friday afternoon vehicle.

6400 miles and counting. Only issue was the rubber door seal on top of the passenger door kept coming out of the groove. Went in for first oil change at 3000 miles and dealer replaced it. Been good since then.

only 900 miles on mine... I haven't noticed anything major except the hard top squeaks until I put some Dow 111 then after a few weeks it squeaks again so I had to reapply. Also you have to really slam the doors to get them shut... the first time anyone new gets into my car I have to tell them to re-close their door about 70% of the time.

Love my 2012. Its a reach to find anything wrong with it. One minor thing... Mine has a lot of wind noise at 30+ mph. Dealer is gonna try and fix under warranty.
