Starting to wear ME down a bit...
Let's see -
- battery discharge; took the dealer 3 trips to relize this was an improperly installed Lojak.....they fixed and warranteed it all.
- leaking front door seals filling the front pans with water. Replaced, per the factory advisory.
-hard top leaking - see above. Fixed.
- soft top air leak at window....not taken in yet.....
Standard Chrysler quality..getting to be a drag.....but, I really like this machine and am trying to hang in there with the belief that it wll be bugless, soon!

nothing major, overall i love my rig, but the windshield cracked the first time we had a real frost (learned me not to blast the defroster alls the way), and every once and a while i get a drop or two of water coming in where the soft top meets the windshield (i think there's a crack in the foam gasket). other than that, i love it!

- Taken in 5 times for a leaking rear window/tailgate.
- TC shudder, but the dealership won't fix it because mine is a 2008 and the TSB is for a 2007. Dealership acknowledges that I have the problem though
- Loud humming noise coming from the dash when my heater is turned on full. Have taken it to the dealer 2 times for this and get "can't duplicate" even though I took the shop foreman out and showed him.
- Grinding noise on startup when I let it sit for more than one day. Taking it in next week for that.
I love my Jeep, but I am very frustrated with it. I had a '95 YJ for 12 years with 160,000 miles on it and I took it out to play in the woods and go rock crawling a lot. Never had a problem or had to replace anything on it. I have only had this one since January. I just don't understand how the quality could have gone downhill since my last Jeep. I'm going to try and keep this one as long as I did my last one though. I just don't think I could let it go even though it has some problems. Maybe I'll get them all worked out and never have another problem.

Too many problems for a $28,000 Jeep, that's for DAMN sure.
1. ETC (electronic throttle control) light has been on since day one when I bought the Jeep in Feb 2007. Been to the dealer 5 times and they have no idea how to fix. Chrysler ended up giving me the 7 year, 100,000 mile bumper to bumper Maximum Care Warranty for free.
2. Soft top ripped at seem soaking my back seat. Had to get a whole new top.
3. New top leaks and has major wind noise coming from header byt he windshield.
4. Stalled a few times.
Final Conclusion: Chrysler/Jeep sucks a big one.

You may want to check your State's Lemon Laws statues.
Overall, nothing compares to a Jeep. Just like every vehicle that are batches that seem to be poorly manufactured but I believe this is NOT the norm. So, hang in there and Good luck to ya!!

Air bags and shifters
I love the jeep, but two days off the lot my check airbag light comes on randomly and lasts a few min and then shuts off only to start again a few miles down the road. It has been back in the dealers shop 6 times. they have replaced the airbag unit and all items down the line. the last time they replaced the horn button and broke the plastic shrowd by the turn signel lever, still waiting for that part. Also the shifter broke at three months, they replaced that with a slightly differnt shifter (makes me believe it might have been a flaw in the design). All in all I still wouldn't go with any other make.

2008 Unlimited 4x4 4dr. Only thing that has gone wrong is the overdrive button on the tranny console quit working.
The stupid thing is they can't replace just the button, they have to replace the whole console.
This happened when the Jeep was about 3mo old and 2,000mi.
