My 07 2 door has the common soft top leaks over the door handles...she is at the dealer as I type...having some weather stripping sent up from Boston...in the meantime my Jeep is nice and dry inside the dealer garage...lol
I hope she appreciates the respite from the drenching rains we have right now!!

Other than that...nothing but she is rather new to me...!

My horn sucks. I have to push it really hard to get it to honk.

Other than that, been trouble free.
I can't believe how hard the horn button is to push! Maybe it's something to do with the air bag. There's no doing a beep beep like the old Jeeps do.

Default mostly minor

I've had several minor problems and one that had my JK in the shop several different times. Had a grounding problem that cuased the check engine light to keep activating. They ended up replacing part of the wiring harness and that fixed it.

So far below is what has been fixed.

1) Driver door seal due to leaking.
2) Soft top header seal, due to leaking and screaming like a banshee
3) Driver seat back, due to spring poked through fabric.
4) Blower motor and seal
5) Head gasket had small leak.
6) Electrical system freaking out and momentarily shutting down on the highway.

I think that is all. Better not be anything else since my warranty is up in 4 days!

I've only had one problem with mine, the usual "cheap plastic clip on the end of my transfer cable breaking, leaving me stuck in 2H" deal. Scared the life out of me when it happened, lol.

Misery loves company... let's start with the dreaded B pillar thump, hailstorm dimppeled tin-foil hood, perpetually cracked windsheild, dim headlights, failed seat hight adjuster, hardtop gutters that drain directly on my left knee upon opening the driver door, faulty cruse control switch. (replaced by dealer) weak and worthless hood tie downs. It's not my first Jeep. Wont be my last . And no matter how much I bitch ... When I'm over the dune and on the beach or off the hard pack and on the trail ...It's all forgotten.This Jeep is mine and you can't have it.
Brother and Sister, I feel your pain and your joy.

Maybe that's why we wave.?

08 Unlim. 6sp. All kinds of stuff on it and all kinds of stuff off it.

Not much as far as real trouble.


1. Front Pass window rattles when down.
2. Well known driver door latch rattle and tape fix.
3. Overfilled front diff leaking oil from breather tube.


Other than this no problems.
