Default What has been repaired/replaced in 10 years, life of a 2007 JKU Rubi

Jeep is getting ready to turn 150K miles. All work below has been performed by the dealer. Nothing listed was caused by road or off road damage.

Both Rear seat belt retractors twice.
Steering Damper twice
Drivers window regulator twice
Passenger window regular
Soft top
Water pump
Fuel Tank RECALL
Front differential case and bearing
Both exhaust manifolds twice
Clock Spring twice
Evap canister seal
Locking gas cap
Mutifunction switch
Oil pan gasket
Rear headrest cable
AC control head
Front axle seals
Water pump which broke 2 bolts requiring the timing cover to be replaced too ($1100 part)
AC discharge hose
Radiator
Intake gaskets
Front driveshaft
Steering wheel cover, I don't know what happened but they replaced it when they replaced the clock spring.
EGR valve.
Cam sensor wiring
Catalytic convertor "Y" pipe and 4 O2 sensors ($2300 not under warranty)
Release for rear drivers side seat.
TIPM and thermostat housing
Intake manifold gasket again
Windshield wiper arm linkage bushing ( I did this myself)
Passenger side window regulator
173K miles New gas tank (warranty)
PCV valve and hose replacement ( i had to pay for)
The PCV valve was stuck in the valve cover so they replaced the valve cover under warranty
Both tie rod ends, and alignment (warranty)
Wiring for the rear locker( warranty)
178K miles Alternator took out the battery both were replaced under the warranty
178K miles Rear passenger window regulator and front door wiring harness
185K miles Oil pan gasket.
188K Windshield wiper motor and seat belt retractor.
I'm really glad I have the lifetime warranty which covered all of the above. I can't imagine how much this would have cost without the warranty but I know it has easily exceeded the cost of the lifetime warranty.
191K leak detection pump

150,000 miles and 9.5 years on mine, and all that stuff in your list (except the fuel tank recall) is still fine.

160k miles and I haven't had near the problems you did but mine were mostly off-road adventure related. Luckily yours were covered by warranty but I've got to say the truck has been really reliable with regular maintenance.

It has had all the service recommended in the manual for severe service since I purchased it new. I still love the jeep and it has never left me stranded.

Back in the shop today, had to drive in in limp in mode. They say its the cam sensor. At least this is the first replacement.

update: it wasn't the cam sensor it was the cam sensor wiring. The wire rubbed through on the valve cover causing a short.

my 2007 jk 75000 miles had the EGR valve replaced twice and a new radiator. Other than that its been an extremely reliable jeep. It sees as much off road use as it does street use.

Officially the stitching was coming apart on the soft top therefore it was replaced. Unofficially the tech used some type of spray to lube the zipper which stained the top.

I have added
Catalytic convertor "Y" pipe and 4 O2 sensors ($2300 not under warranty)
Release for rear drivers side seat.

It's in the shop again and it looks like the computer is gone. It has gotten to the point that the Check engine light comes on about every oil change, 3K-miles. 155K miles and 11 years old.
TIPM is defective and the thermostat housing is leaking both will be replaced under warranty
