Well, I never included the recalls or TSB's either... throw that in and you add:

Slow start (cam position sensor).

Brake Recall

So that brings me to 4. I still need the clutch fixed (sqeak) for number 5.... Also, the muffler is rotting away (it's only 6 months old... i shouldn't have holes in the muffler yet....) 6....

It took 100th of a second to realize I was over 2 so no brainer. Nothing the toyota trucks I've had. I love being able to modify but it's wearing me down.

Steering stabilizer
Electronics 70% failure
Woobles and shimmys
Squeaky drivers door pilar
Horn barely works
should I continue...na I'm over 2

I have the timing cover leak, a power steering hose is leaking and my steering stabilizer is leaking, so I had to say >2. I don't look for warranty on the stabilizer, because it has a very small dent near where the piston goes into the can. With just barely 3000 miles on it, they better fix everything else.

I have to clairify my poll answer. Off-road damaged the evap can and the sway bar. Non off-road stuff left rear soft top window clip, brake flash, bad key cause no start.

Please take the poll
You'll always see the people with problems posting more, because they're either venting or trying to find a solution to a problem. Occasionally, you'll post that things are great and there are no problems, but there's often no reason to post for that purpose.

No real problems here, aside from the recalls. No leaking top, no clunky steering, etc. I do have one noise I'm having the dealer look at next oil change, but other than that it's been smooth sailing.

Although, the whole jeep rattles as if it's 10 years old, but I'll blame that on the cold weather playing havoc on all the cheap plastic. When it's warm out and the top is off, the wind noise will drown out my rattles

LOTS... mostly due to the fact that i wheel the piss out of it... mostly covered under warranty

- throw bearing in clutch
- brake flash and all recalls
- radio flash
- mudules, switches and computers... water damage ( my dime... 1800 bux OUCH)
- rear driveshaft
- tranny and TC leaking
- evap cannister broken
- diff covers leaking
- MANY, MANY steeing stabilzers, i have resigned my self to the fact that i have to change it after every time i wheel... (my dime) it is in the stupidest spot in the world... only thing lower is the diff... i am thinking highsteer will fix that

i think that is it... but i am sure there is more

all warrantied except the one stated

I had that thing where it wouldn't start right away sometimes, and once for the radiator fan, but that one was my fault, so it doesn't count...
