07 Unlimited Mileage
Hey guys I just turned over 100k and was wondering how many miles your 07 had and if there is anything I should keep an eye out for in the near future in the means of repairs. Thanks for your help and I am looking forward to the responses.

Early 07 with just short of 100k. Mileage is about 18mpg around town (with snorkel and k&n filter). Problems? Everything, even with regular maintenance. Before I hit 36k, I had almost the entire engine replaced, more throw out bearings than I can count, on the second clutch. New radio, speakers due shorting out. Rear track bar bracket snapped with on the freeway, while none stock. Gave up on any dealership "fixing" the leaking hardtop. E brake is just for show, burn over 1qt of oil every 3k and there's random leaks around the engine.
So all is all, it's going pretty well!

SGt Mack, don't feel bad I'm in the same boat with 97000 on my 07. Mine has been declared a lemon at 30000. I deal with it and fixit myself.

I've been used to it ever since I drove it off the lot. When the track bar bracket broke the a dealership said it couldn't fix it, then the said it would take over a month to find a new axle and replace. They said to take it to a shop to have them weld it instead. I hope everyone who works at a dealership has to drive a jeep when they die for eternity thinking they have a warranty.

No they would drive it till it breaks and then they would trade it in or sell it. They don't have the patience like a real Jeep person does.

Thanks guys! I have not had any issues yet everything seems to be running perfectly ( knock on wood! ). Although I do feel like I am putting a quart in her all the time, probably every thousand miles. My question is if its not burning it and its not leaking it...... Where is it going?!
