It is a long drawn out situation. It has taken me about a year and a half. Chrysler is replacing mine with a new one. Not a hard process just a long one. Check out Kahn and Associates. They will tell you if you have a case and do not get paid unless you get paid.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Follow the steps in the blue and white book they give you when you bought the truck. It is very clear cut if you have all the documentation. It is not difficult at all. Your issue significantly reduces the value of the vehicle because it will not pass inspections. Not to mention all the time you or the new user will loose dealing with their poor build quality. Typically, you have to give them one last attempt to fix it. If you run the numbers, it is going to be your advantage to take the buyback and purchase another vehicle. You will get the most money back and with the deals going on now you will get the most Jeep when you buy again.
So whats the main problem with executing the lemon law? Im ok with having to wait a bit, but why are the other downsides? At this point im just hoping for a buyback and then ill buy a rubicon when i can. the problem is what happens to all the stuff on my jeep now? i can take it off and put the stock wheels/tires on and take some of the stuff off. But since i have a exhaust they arent gonna try and claim the only reasons im having trouble is because of that will they?
Thanks for all the help guys this is great!

Lemon Law is a PITA. My Jeep was a PITA when I first got it. It started with this ridiculous loud clunk that I searched forever, I eventually solved it by insulating the clutch line. Cured that problem. Then it was the dreaded leak. I read every single thread possible on leaks, I sil glyded the seals and put some 3m silicone sealant between the header seal and windshield, and now I could submerge it and no leaks. These things were built without quality control, however I think with this forum 95% of the problems could probably be fixed. Believe me, I feel your pain. I had dreams of ghost riding my rig off a cliff, It drove me insane. Looking back, by fixing everything myself and getting creative I learned a lot.

So even if they fix it, you still dont want it? I wish we could do that for everything. I have bought lots of stuff and realised I didnt need/want it, I didnt think I could just give it back. But then again I have personal responsibility with the stuff I buy.Oh and we dont have Lemon Law here in Canada.

well even if they fix this one problem i still have a list of others that they wont even admit to. Such as my clutch... Theres a tsb out on it but he said unless is squeels loud and noticeably 100% of the time they wont do anything. Its not that i dont want a jeep. I want a jeep. Im just sick of having endless problems. Im hoping with my next one i wont have so many problems...
Fair enough.....well good luck either way

They will pay you for your aftermarket accessories you have a receipt for. They will pay to have them installed on your replacement vehicle if you go that route. Mine took about 3 months from final letter > final repair attempt > ISG > check in hand. You need accurate documentation.
I agree there was no quality control ( and still is with the 09s ). If the expectation was that the JK was like previous Jeeps you have owned, it is a severe let down. Nobody buys a new vehicle expecting to have to spend time taking it to the dealer whenever they can to fix QC related items and significant design flaws.
