1) Stall bug. Well documented on this and other sights.
2) Soft top leaks. Bad enough to soak the carpet at times. 3x try to fix, no luck.
3) Interior plastic sucks. Also well documented on this and other forums. We've been very careful with ours and it still looks like s__t.
4) Terrible paint quality. I've got bare spots behind the hinges and on the cowling that are already starting to rust. My hinges are badly rusted and shedding paint.
5) Brake recall. Vehicle decides not to stop when coasting to an uphill stop. exciting!
6) Coolant leaks. Been back several times. Dealer can't find anything but Jeep smells like coolant and I keep having to top up the overflow reservoir.
7) Oilpan gasket leaks. Dealer cleans the affected area, puts it on the lift and runs it for five minutes. When the Tech doesn't come out from under it all covered in oil, they pronounce it good. I do know a leaking gasket when I see it.
8) Secondary hood latch has actually dented the crossmember because the hood lifts so hard in gusty winds while at highway speed.
9) Transmission / torque convertor shudder. Between 1100 and 1550 rpm in top gear, the TC shudders like you are going over rumble strips. Also, when this happens, you can push on the loud pedal all you want and it never downshifts. You must manually downshift. The auto tranny is a POS. It's used in a variety of Chrysler products and if you go to their forums you will see similar complaints.
Long and short.........I could live with all of it except the trans. It makes driving around here an absolute misery. Jeep has a TSB that calls for replacing the TC if these problems are experienced, but I can't get anyone to actually do it.
