Into my 8th month with my 2011 JK Sport and I love it, love it, love it! I DD it and wheel it once a month, and as much as I've modded it, it still feels nice and new.

Got the Jeep JKU Sahara in late January 2011 -- build was first week of January. Now has 16500 miles on it.
Have the same clock-spring/steering wheel button problems as others.
The transmission (manual), if it's below 10F, sometimes pops out of 2,4. (Never had a problem w/ 6). Mind you it seems to be better after a full summer of driving.
e-brake feels like it has a broken tooth on the handle. (Need to get that fixed, as it sometimes won't stay up with tension.)
rear diff cover appears "wet" all the time, but if it's leaking it has to be so minor the level isn't dropping.
Gas engine, mostly rural driving, average 17.3 MPG (US), 20.8 MPG (Imperial), 13.6L/100km... (better then my old TJ!)
All in all I'm happy with it. e-brake and steering wheel buttons need to go in soon. I figured I'd give the jeep a year to shake out any issues.. Only finding three things seems more then reasonable to me.

First Jeep. 2011 4dr hardtop Rubi fully equipped with currently 14,500 miles. I have two issues:
1. Water leak from top section of rear windshield near windshield wiper motor.
2. Loud squeaking noise when car is in motion, coming from somewhere in the rear of the cars interior.
I’m trying to solve the problems on my own rather than taking it to the dealership and them making it worse.

Owned my 2011 JKU S Sport for around 5 months now, 7K miles. I have a small, random leak from above my rear view mirror on my hardtop. The weather seal on the passenger front door is also constantly coming out of the groove, and makes the carpet wet if it rains hard. Leaks aside, I have nothing but love for my machine. No rattles, squeaks, noises, or problems.

well...
5680 miles on 2011 JKUR. Just found out that R front axle seal is leaking so I will need to get that fixed(warranty). On rotation and balance done today found
one of the tires with tread separation. I hope this is not a bad sign.......
