Faults:

My steering wheel locking handle keeps unlocking on it's own. It unlocks and the wheel falls down while I am driving it. I brought it in to get tightened (I thought that is all they needed to do to fix it) and the dealer informed me that I needed a new steering column, and that I had to pay for it because my 3/30,000 expired 12/08.

After talking with him, I stated that this is not wear and tear, this is a safety defect and should be fixed by them.

I have been unsuccessful in getting it fixed at their expense, and in finding any recall for this problem.

General Comments:

I love my Jeep and I will keep it until it dies.

I just wish this defect was handled more professionally on their end.

Faults:

I am happy to say nothing factory related as of yet!

Gas mileage sucks, but who buys a Jeep for gas mileage?

It gets me anywhere I want to go. It's like a four seater ATV on steroids. Mine is lifted 4 inches thanks to Pro Comp and rides on 33" Pro Comp XTerrains. The chicks dig it and so do I. I use it to commute back and forth to two different jobs and for fun when I can. One word of advice, if your are looking for a vehicle that is great on gas, smooth and quiet, civilized and refined, and comes with a bottle of wine... This is not the vehicle for you. If you are looking for something that has proven itself at home and over seas for over 60 years, is dependable when you need it, fun when you want it to be, and takes a beating without complaint... Go get a Jeep. Get a Wrangler. And don't forget to wave back at all of your fellow Jeep owners when they wave at you. It's a Jeep thing!

Faults:

Clutch was faulty at approximately 7500 miles and was replaced under warranty.

Tailgate rattles over hard bumps.

Occasional leaking (very little though) from rear window (soft top) and front windshield.

Cowl was misaligned, causing it to rub on the passenger side fender and chipping the paint. This was also fixed under warranty.

In general, this is a GREAT vehicle. This is my first brand spanking new vehicle, as well as my first Jeep. The color is Midnight Blue Pearlcoat metallic. It is a 6 speed manual tranny with the 4 liter and I-6 motor. She also has a soft top with the black tinted rear and side windows.

The dash layout is nothing spectacular, but is very well laid out and easily accessible while driving. Seats are quite comfortable for a "rugged" vehicle. Visibility from all angles in the wrangler is great.

I am really enjoying the looks I get (I replaced all factory hinges with stainless steel), as well as the "Jeep Wave". It has been 6 months since I bought her, but every time I get in to drive somewhere, the thrill still gets to me. I intend on owning this vehicle until the wheels fall off!!

Faults:

I have had no problems with this jeep.

The only thing I see as a weakness is its power seems to be weak.
