35 years as a Jeep customer

I have owned Jeep Wranglers since 1974 and I have yet to be disappointed in any way. I have owned 8 all together and at the present time I'm in a 2008 Wrangler Sahara. I don't work for Chrysler, so I don't get employee discounts, and I still buy Jeeps. I feel safe and free to travel at any time in any weather that the Michigan climate can dish out. My job depends on me showing up for work every day bad weather or not. And my Jeep Wrangler gives me this feeling. I know what to expect and what not to expect from a Wrangler, same as you would from a Corvette or a pickup truck. I am very pleased with all my jeeps and I at the age of 60 years old I don't plan on any changes. Thank you.

Very Satisfied

I bought my 2 door Sahara in Dec 2007 and put about 6K on it annually. I've been very satisfied with it, no problems or service needed beyond oil changes. I've had good luck with Jeep products with respect to reliability.

Fun to Drive - Build Quality is Poor

The vehicle could be fun to drive, but the build quality is poor. By 2008 an engineer should have been able to design rain gutters on a car that don't funnel the water in to soak your leg as you open the door. The hood latches became worn and had to be replaced to keep the hood from vibrating at speed.The lights behind the climate control knobs go on and off. I have had to replace relays (and the manual didn't clearly state they are located in various areas of the engine), deal with rattles, a rear wiper washer fluid hose leaking in the back of the vehicle and now it has developed what I am told is the classis 3.8L V6 lifter problem. $1,500+ repair. I am trying to love this car, but the issues are making it difficult.

Last Chrysler product I will ever buy

The hinges on the jeep have already began to flake and fall off, and when it was taken to the dealership for repair, Chrysler denied the claim. This has been a problem with jeeps for years, and they know its a problem, but continue to ignore the problem. So, much for spending money on the extended warranty. There will be no more Chrysler products in my drive way. At least GM stands behind there products.

Under powered gas guzzler

After 60 years the Jeep as we know it and have come to love is very much improved, but sadly, with much more to prove. I personally own the 08 Jeep JK, Sahara, Wrangler "California Concept". I got a great deal, considering the bad economy but read my other comments below to appreciate my findings.
