I have had my Rubi 4 door since november. Its been in the snow twice. The Sway bar disconnect and the axle locks didnt work. The outside temperature and compass sticks, a rattle in the B post (TSB fix).

Just the loud squeaks from the driver's seat! Not a real problem, just motivation to run more.

Angry 2 years - nonstop headache

I got my 4-door in April 2007. So far:

1. Dashlights all turn on and radio shuts off - lasts about 2 seconds then back to normal (this started at 7700 miles and is still happening about every 2000-4000 miles)

2. Rusted Door Hinges - dealership in NV tried to blame it on IN winters and road salt (it just got fixed today)

3. Outside Temp indicator not reading accurate enough (within 10 degrees) - dealership fixed first try

4. Soft Top dumps water in front driver's side (even in light rain) - still does it, good thing I live in NV now

I'm looking into lemon laws. This is ridiculous. I love my jeep but this has got to stop.

The only legitamate problem I see here is the dash problem. Then again, it's been 2 years now, so I can't see any lemon law covering your problems.

And what do you mean the soft top dumps water? It's leaking inside the jeep, or do you just have the stream of water when you open the door???

The top leaks inside the jeep. And it is nearly a constant stream once it starts. I took it to the dealership while i was still in indiana and they tightened up the latches. It still does leaks but i've decided it gives me a reason to pull the carpet out and spray the inside.

The law firm I talked to about the lemon law stuff said I 'might' have a case. So they are gonna look over my records. We'll see.

I've had my JK for two years now, 36,000 miles, no problems at all. I had to replace the breaks at 35,000 but I can blame that on my 37s

Purchased 12/7/09 couldn't take it home because one of the brake calipers was frozen was able to take it home the next day.

1/17/09 replaced turn signal switch and installed Sirius antenna (which was never installed from factory)

4/8/09 cd changer died gave "MECH COMM ERROR"
4/18 replaced radio
4/20 check engine lite comes on trouble codes saying all 4 of the o2 sensors were bad
4/21 replaced the Computer (I had to pay for rental car)
4/23 cd changer died AGAIN!!!!!!! gave "MECH COMM ERROR"
As of today 5/5/09 second radio still has not come in.

If I didn't mod it so much already I would think about looking into the lemon law!
