Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited was originally launched in 2004. It started out as a two-door Jeep with a wheelbase 10 inches longer than a typical Wrangler. The original two-door Unlimited was dubbed the "LJ." In 2007, Jeep revised the Unlimited and turned it into a four-door. This 4-door Jeep was dubbed the "JK." The longer wheelbase on the Jeep Unlimited provides more room for your passengers/cargo and a smoother ride (when compared to the shorter Wranglers).

	08 JKU worst Jeep
	Date: Dec 09, 2018
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (California)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: To start with the 3.8 us gutless and sucks gas, Trans was tolerable with a programmer, Death Wobble fixed with an adjustable Track Bar, The body is about as thin as a Suzuki Samurai, I traded for an 04 Rubicon didn't care for it but it had a sturdy body just to much electronic junk sold it now have a 92 YJ I love the simplicity , not for everyone I don't find the ride any different from the TJ with coils they are both lifted and short wheel base. both rides are rough, The JKU was smoother on the road , wider , longer wheelbase made for Soccer Moms and Mall Crawlers want a real Jeep get an older model Strengths: Rides on the highway better than my YJ Weaknesses: Weak body, gutless motor , sucks gas, prone to death wobble, thin weak body, Stability Control

	Typical Chrysler junk
	Date: May 08, 2018
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Sarnia, Canada)
	Vehicle: 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Bought new awlays babied.,at 45k needed pinion seal,rotors,pads,tires,,battery,2 radios. At 70k door wouldnt signal to computer so no interior lights it thought door was off.water leaks,wind leaks, ,gas pig,terrible handling,not much better than my rav4 offroad but can tow a bit more . No power,shakes rattle and rolls right to the service department. engine rattle every startup. eats rotors and tires. Handles like a yacht without any of the comfort. high insurance. In any wind its like a feather,never tracks straight always correcting the wheel. topless its even more irritating. It became my expensive to purchase and own enemy. I dumped the junkiest vehicle Ive ever had and although everything broken was repaired except wind,water leaks I still feel like I ripped the dealership off. Strengths: resale value,made chrsyler lots of money,looks tough,ground clearance, Weaknesses: dont know where to start,a deathtrap money pit.

	Do not buy this vehicle
	Date: Aug 21, 2016
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Wheeling, WV)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: We bought this jeep in july 2009, it lives in the shop. We have replaced about everything on it. It wobbles, it stalls, it takes for ever to stop if you need to stop suddenly. It had to have a new transmission before I hit 80,000 miles. It is leaking something that 4 mechanics can't seem to find. It leaks water in the car at times from the air conditioner. The check engine lights been on forever, we've changed everything and its still on. it eats rotors. It's uncomfortable, and loud. it's had a few recalls. It oversteers, even after an alignment. Today the hot oil light came on. Then went off, who knows? The cd player screws up, and ejects disks. The dash lights all light up, then just go off. Oh' a can push the thing around in park, has a hard time shifting and there's so much more but to wrap it up, this is the worst peice of sht, I have ever owned, and payed so much for. I will NEVER buy another Jeep anything again!!!! Do not waste your time, the service after the sale is as wonderful as their vehicle. Strengths:* has a lot of hype Weaknesses: everything

	Problems are Operator Error...
	Date: Mar 08, 2015
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Oahu)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: The whole lot of you like to complain about "why my Jeep is bad, and it's not my fault." Well read on.... I have owned many cars, in my days. And all cars are the same. Treat them nice, and they treat you nice. Screw around with it (new car), or if you don't do your homework on the used one that you buy, then....shame on yourself. If you do more complaining about a Jeep, than driving it....then you have no business driving a Jeep, or maybe even a car. You have to take responsibility for it. Death wobble, on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara....ok. Rotate your tires every 5K miles, and replace the Steering stabilizer, and replace your rotors (or shave them down) when getting your brakes done. Done deal. If you don't stay on top of your particular car (Jeep Wrangler) for servicing, it will eat you up. Jeeps are needy for attention, like most other cars. They just have needs in special areas, like most cars do. It's on the owner to know what they are. So....do your homework. I did. I had issues. I did my homework, and I fixed it, all by myself. Transmission problems? You're probably towing things too heavy, or going in and out of the Mexican border wayyyy too much, like I used to do. So....get it fixed. All cars have issues. AND, usually when owners have issues with their cars, they actually have ALOT more issues with themselves. So....look in the mirror. Duh! Strengths: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited....tough, reliable, better gas mileage than every year before it. 22 mpg: highway; 17 mpg: city. saved me in two cars wrecks. Tough as hell. Tows RV Winnebagos out of soft sand, like it's cool. Looks great, if you take care of it. Weaknesses: Sensitive in the clutch, so don't ride the clutch pedal, a lot. Keep on top of your areas of service. Do your own home work. If you don't have the time or money....then don't buy a car. Your are not responsible to drive on the road, if you can't take responsibility for ALL actions that you do.

	Great Vehicle
	Date: Sep 06, 2014
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Windsor,Ontario, Canada)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I have 65000 km on my JK and I also had the wobble and I replaced both rotors and the steering damper and all is good. I love driving through big puddles but when those rotors are about one thousand degrees and you go through a puddle BAM they warp and I mean both of them so no more puddle jumping for me unless the rotors are cold. Oil consumption is not what I would like but I can't complain. Hope this helps anybody. Strengths: I go moose hunting north of Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada and the logging roads there are pot hole ridden and my Jeep goes through them like butter. Weaknesses: I gave a 9 star rating because the motor could be a little more powerful.

	DEATH WABBLE
	Date: Nov 24, 2012
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Maine)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I loved the design,the looks and room. But the car is a DEATH trap waiting to happen!!! Bought the car new. By 20.000 miles it started. Doing 65 on interstate 95 in the center lane. Drove over an expansion joint and the front end started shaking back and forth, wheels bouncing out of control. Stepped on the brakes to slow down and it GOT WORSE. Had to coast to 5mph before it stopped. Since then the dealer has replaced the steering damper 3 times. My wife will not drive it. IT STILL HAPPENS!! Chrysler cant fix it because it is a BAD design. They are just guessing. Have to get rid of the car before it kills some one. Winter is coming and icy roads. Will not be able to control the car. Strengths: Seat belts Weaknesses: The front end. DEATH WABBLE

	JEEP JK Un Rubicon
	Date: May 07, 2012
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Baltimore,MD)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: By far the Best SUV I've ever owned. I have 70,000 mi on my 08 Rubi with no issues to report. I've taken my Tank to Outer Banks,Florida,Jersey Shore,Adrondack Mts trails and Virginia trails with not a single issue! I think alot depends on how the vehicle is being used by the person. I'm ex military and I was trained to love my vehicles as it was my spouse. My tank is PMCS every road trip and ready to Roll out when I alert her!! It's a Jeep not a Escalade folks!! Enjoy this summer and TOP Down 2012 is arounf the corner!!! Enjoy! Strengths: Off Road capabilities- Sharp looks- Easy top breakdown -Surrond Sound is kiler!! Great 4 door for road trips or camping out!! After market parts are everywhere! Weaknesses: Not for road trips through NYC or Wahington DC but My baby maintains and keeps up at 70,000mi After maket prices could come down(A little)

	Uses too much oil!
	Date: Mar 23, 2012
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Columbus, Ohio)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Bought this Jeep Sahara used 6 months ago. It has the V6 with a 6 speed manual trans. Only 23000 miles. Looked and drove like new. Although it is a beautiful vehicle, and is alot of fun in the summer with the top off, I have found that I am putting a quart of oil in the engine nearly ever 2 weeks. I am diligent about keeping oil changes current, so why is this nearly new vehicle eating oil like a car with 300000 miles. Strengths: Pretty to look at. Fun to drive on the beach on the Outer Banks. Weaknesses: Uses waaaaay too much oil. Engine is very underpowered for a V6!

	Don't waste your cash on this POS Chrysler
	Date: Mar 06, 2012
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Colorado)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I purchased my JK Rubi in 2007. First sign that I made a mistake is the Jeep drowned from deflected water off the axle. The air box is in a position where water is channeled along the fender and directly into the box and then the engine. The Jeep has always had a “shimmy” at around 40 mph. At 39k miles the shimmy turned into death wobble. Now all my bushings are ruined, my ball joints are bad, and every suspension bolt hole is ovaled out (this is due to Chrysler putting 14mm bolts in 9/16 holes). So bottom line don’t waste your money on these POS’s avoid them like the plague! Strengths: Anything you can replace with aftermarket beefed up parts. Weaknesses: Everything with a Chrysler stamp on it. Incorrectly sized bolts on suspension components. Weak ball joints off of a passenger car. Poorly designed air intake. You will get death wobble!

	Too Much Oil
	Date: Feb 01, 2012
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kent, WA)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I've always loved Jeeps (well, wranglers and cherokee sports - old style). My 2008 JK Rubicon eats oil like I have a rig in my back yard. It started around 22,000 miles. Consuming/burning/pissing (noone knows where it goes) no smoke or build up around tail pipe. Using 0.95-1 qt per 1000 miles. I know, it's acceptable to Chrysler (and all manufacturers) to consume up to a qt per 1000 miles. My wallet says otherwise. Service every 5k, follow all dealership requests but they cannot tell me anything. I'm surprised at all the complaints here but didn't see one complaint about that. Death wobble, sounds scary but don't have that problem. Someone mentioned the rear seat without a slight recline....oh my! I'm glad I don't have to ride back there. I hated school chairs when in school, I still hate them today. Otherwise, yeah, maybe not the toughest Jeep but still fun to drive. Strengths: It's a JEEP Weaknesses: OIl consumption. Rear seat with NO adjustments

	Cheap junk, all looks and no substance.
	Date: Dec 15, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kelowna, BC, Canada)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I went from a 1990 Wrangler YJ to a 2009 Rocky Mountain Wrangler JK and what a big dissapointment. The 1990 Jeep was 10 times the quality and strength. The JK is a piece of junk. It is confining and claustrophobic, hard to get in and out of and almost impossible to get into the back seat or even reach to get things there.There is hardly any room in it to keep things. It shudders when idling and is very tiring to drive on the road since it seems to wander and over steer. I just had the alignment done and no change to that problem. The steering still feel loose and a worn tie road was just replaced The YJ was solid and easy to keep going straight down the road. Mine has 17 inch tires and that size for the Jeep is apparently uncommon and expensive to replace. I had to remove the back seat headrests so I could actually see out the rear window. Whenever I skid when coming to a sudden stop on gravel or ice, the vibrations come through the floor and gas pedal and it feels like the suspension is coming apart. The roof is noisy(hard top). If you come to a quick stop, the front end "snowplows" down and it takes a long distance to actually stop. Chrysler has pretty well destroyed the Jeep name with this garbage. You are wasting your money if you buy one of these vehicles and you will be very sad and disappointed like me. Strengths: Fair performance off road. Weaknesses: Claustrophobic, poor idle, poor handling, poor steering, poor braking, poor visibility, no room, poor fuel economy, uncomfortable, lousy tire size, poor servicing, no power.

	First year model JK, be ware...
	Date: Nov 27, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Ft Meade, MD)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I had purchased the 2007 Jeep JK, Sahara in early 2007, when they first came out. I got the two wheel drive automatic, hard/soft top combo. I wasnt looking at off road. I simply wanted an easy convertible. (My go to meeting vehicle) (My Polaris 500 Sportsman was for off road) I was excited to get this Jeep, since I passed up getting a TJ in 2003. Mods: (1) Cold Air Intake, don't remember the brand. (2) Jet Power Module (3) Nitrogen in the tires (4) AMSOIL syn oil and diff oil. I got 17/18 in the city and 22/24 on the highway. Strengths: (1) Appearance (2) Hard/Soft top - convertible (3) Fun driving Weaknesses: (1) Automatic transmission slipping at 15k miles, no codes popped and after the third time in a week I traded it in for a 2007 GMC 2500 Ext Cab. (2) Roll Bar paint - not complete (3) Dash and panes to hard and easy to scratch. (4) Carpet cut short in area of floor board, so it showed cut carpet.

	I thought these things were supposed to be tough!!
	Date: Nov 23, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Erie, PA)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I bought a 2008 Unlimited Rubicon. It's been off road twice, but not on tough trails or rocks, but on very gentle 4-wheel trails, which were really just narrow dirt roads. I have less than 50K on the odometer and I have already needed the tranny rebuilt, my stabilizer bar is bent and the vehicle can't be aligned, and it won't go into 4-wheel. What a piece of crap!!! And for all those posts that say stop crying and that this is a man's vehicle, that's total BS. I understand it's not a luxury SUV, but man, shouldn't I at least be able to drive it past 50,000 miles, or is that one of the "real man" things I don't understand?? You want to know what's not manly, having to drive my girlfriends bright orange VW Beetle while my "tough" Jeep is being worked on, again!!! Strengths: Fun to drive, when it is not in the shop Weaknesses: It's so called "toughness"

	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Winnipeg mb Canada )
	Vehicle: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Hello I'm a licensed auto technician and I got a 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon brand new with 3 km on the dial and I have had nothing but problems, for start I get the rubicon with the Dana 44 front axle but whey don't tell u is the axle tubes/housing is a Dana 33 and commonly brake because of that and comes out of ur pocket to fix. I have had the STD trans pop out of gear (fixed at the dealer but still happens),slave for the cluch blow, a left front axle blow on me (at the u/joint) causing a ball joint come out of the spindle and bending my spindle, (declined warranty due to a few scratches on a skid plate). I have the Leakey roof on the hard and soft top that they can't fix (took out the carpet so it docent mold up). Now I have a clicking coming from my transfer case (bad bearing internally witch I have diagnosed but the dealer refuses to see the problem, All with in 20000 km and 1 year. I paid 42000 with tax and got a caviler with 4x4, I would have been better with a caviler (parts are cheaper). As a experienced auto tech and a jk owner I STRONGLY suggest staying away from the suv. I want to love this jeep considering how much they are but I/you would have to be stupid too do so. I will argue my point to any jeep lover out there and win. The only thing to say is: they don't make them like they use too!!!!!! Strengths: Nice options when there working Weaknesses: Always in the shop, always a fight for warranty, bad customer relations, brand new suv but vary unreliable,

	2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - Rear Windshield blew up!
	Date: Aug 15, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
	Vehicle: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Overall a lovely vehicle. First big rain... hard top started leaking! Tonight the jeep was parked in the driveway and my husband was closing the rear window, half way down the rear window blew up! It totally shattered and it exploded over 15-20 feet either side. Pieces of glass ended up in my husband's fingers. By chance he was wearing sunglasses. This is a brand new vehicle. Purchased a few months ago only, never had the hard top removed. Starting to question its safety. Strengths: Look great and more stability than the 2-door. Weaknesses: Window's safety! Leaking problems (hard top)

	Blown Engine/ Death wobble/ Crappy Customer Service
	Date: Jun 26, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Paso Robles, CA)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I bought this Jeep for my family for daily driving not offroading and its been nothing but issues from about a month after i bought it. I've had electrical issue, death wobble caused by bad track bar bushing and it walloed out the holes in the brackets at 39,000 miles. Now at about 55,000 miles the motor went. After researching online i had found multiple cases similar to mine. All maintenance was always perfomed on time never missed an oil change. When i called chrysler about my engine i talked to multiple people and one of them even admitted that they knew of engine issues, and then the next guy told me that the previous guy didnt know what he was talking about and they havnt had any cases of people engines going prematurely, and that i was on my own for engine replacement. Thats pretty awesome considering I have a 1987 Jeep YJ with almost 200,000 miles on it and never had an issue. When i bought the 2007 I was expecting a reliable vehicle that i could drive my family around in. Now im just gonna throw a chevy engine in there and never buy a Jeep again until they start caring about their customer service and quality control of their vehicles. I deffinately do not reccomend any one to buy this vehicle until chrsyler figures their sht out. STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR PRODUCTS CHRYSLER KEEP OUR PARTS IN THE USA YOU CHEAP BASTARDS Strengths:* The looks and thats about it. Weaknesses: Crappy underpowered drivetrain meant for a minivan

	Worst built vehicle I have ever owned. DEATH WOBBLE!
	Date: Jun 03, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Westchester, NY)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I wanted a Jeep for a long time and was stoked to finally get one. Things were okay for awhile, but soon I experienced death wobble and the steering also became loose, sloppy and clunky. I have literally replaced everything in the front end to no avail. Also tried multiple tire rotations, balance and alignments and still steers and rides horrid. Its so bad you don't want to take it anywhere. Come to find out Chrysler used very cheap parts in the front end. My ball joints were shot with just 10,000 miles of street driving! The vehicle no longer feels safe. Ive never owned a vehicle with such a bad front end. This will be my last Jeep/Chrysler product. Strengths: Looks great Good off road Weaknesses: Death Wobble Leaky top Cheap quality Poor engine/transmission

	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I always wanted a Jeep. The 4 door made it easy with a family. After 60,000 miles the engine went. Jeep wanted nothing to do with it. Have a friend that works there and said it was a known issue but they are not standing by it. A week after I put new engine in the transfer case went. I am very disappointed. Wanted to love car but I hate it. Strengths: Looks nice. Weaknesses: Always in the shop.

	Best jeep I have ever had
	Date: Apr 25, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Cali)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Best jeep I ever had no problems, has 30,000mi and never been in the shop except for regular maintenance no death wobble (because I get it realigned every 6 months), no leak in the hard top or soft top. The only thing that I hate is the seat always goes back down after a couple days of driving( no big deal). Now has has 4 inch lift and 35 tires, had a small wobble only because a weight fell off the rim off roading. Strengths: Awesome at off roading, good styling Weaknesses: Seat goes down after a couple of days... That's it

	Very Pleased
	Date: Apr 20, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Marion, MS)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I purchased my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4 door in early 2007. To this day I am still very much enjoying it. I have only put 600.00 in repairs into it and most of that was for labor. Sorry to read that others haven't had close to the great experiences that I have had with my jeep. I love this Jeep and it has never let me down or stranded. It does everything that I could ever want it to do. Strengths: Looks good and rides smoothly (with highway rated tires). Has just the right amount of power. Weaknesses: The only weakness I can think of is the straight up and down rear seat. Why doesn't it have the ability to recline somewhat. I noticed that there is plenty of clearance to allow it to recline. It is so uncomfortable for passengers. Maybe there is a reclining mechanism that can be purchased somewhere but I haven't been able to find it.

	Biggest Mistake I Ever Made!!!!!!!
	Date: Feb 28, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Shoemakersville, PA)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X 4x4 There have been nothing but problems with this vehicle. Not even 2 months into having this brand new vehicle the problems started. Pops out of gear then grinds Total loss of clutch Death wobble Seat won't lock Roof zipper skips The first time I took it in for the shifting problems, the fine men at Outten County Crysler in Hamberg PA told me that it was the way I was driving and that is why it pops out of gear. I may be a woman, but I have been driving stick shift since I was 13 years old! I know how to flippin shift right! So the problem persisted and got worse, getting to the point where it would SLAM out of gear and then loudly grind while immobilizing me in the middle of the road. I escaped with my life countless times, almost getting rear ended. This went on for months, but everytime I brought it in the men told me that nothing was wrong and blamed it on me. Fast forward 7 months later to my birthday road trip. We were 12 hours away on a road trip when the Jeep decided to completely stop working- I could not get the clutch to engage at all, stranding us on an island that was only accessable by ferry! The huge flat bed tow truck had to ride the 3 1/2 hr ferry ride to get us! Nice birthday present! The dealership had to replace the entire clutch. The gear problem still went unfixed. Two months later The gear problems got even worse and I took it to Outten again. They yet again tried to tell me nothing was wrong, but I flipped out and told them if I died from someone hitting me because of this faulty vehicle my blood will be on teir hands. I guess that woke them up because they actually looked at it. Turns out it was the shifter fork. Next, I started getting the death wobble, again putting my life in danger. It happens all the time, sometimes on the highway going 75 mph. This thing is a death trap!!!!! Strengths:* Uhhh... I'm at a loss. Biggest mistake of my life purchasing this vehicle. Weaknesses: SLAMS out of gear then grinds- faulty shifter fork Total loss of clutch engagement ability- bad clutch *DEATH wobble- faulty steering damper This vehicle is a DEATH TRAP! If you value your life and te life of the people who ride with you stay far far far away!!!!!! The reason why you purchase a new vehicle is so that you do not have mechanical issues, right? Not the case here.

	Its a Jeep
	Date: Feb 22, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Sarasota, FL)
	Vehicle: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Anyone who expects a luxury car ride, a quiet cabin, and a race car engine should not even bother looking at a Jeep. If you want a fun SUV that can go anywhere with the top down and doors off then this is your ride. The JK is a fantastic vehicle for its purpose. It can get through thick mud, trails, dirt, and sand with no problem; but on the road it is still a darn Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler hasn't changed in what it was meant to do, it just improved its capabilities with a longer wheel base, stronger axles, and greater articulation. To the people that complain about the steering stabilizer, death wobble, bump stops, seals, etc etc...get over it and go buy a prius. All the problems experienced can be fixed with no problem if you ask nicely at the dealership. If you want to eliminate the death wobble, get a dual steering stabilizer...not expensive. If you want a better AC; drop the top. If you want anything else; someone sells it. Strengths: It is an offroad beast even in its stock form. The 6 speed is easy to control through terrain. The ride is smooth for a wrangler. Bulletproof drivetrain. Weaknesses: Ummmm....I should've gotten power locks. It is annoying to slide my hand between the seat and the pillar to reach the rear lock. Other than my foresight, none!!!!

	It's a Jeep
	Date: Jan 09, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Texas)
	Vehicle: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I just bought a brand new Rubicon unlimited hard top in december 2010 and love it. This is my second Jeep wrangler. My last Jeep was a 2008 Rubicon 2 door and i did have problems like seat would not stay up,rear axle bent, water pump went out at 15k and the hard top leaked but liked it anyway. I come to a point that Jeep is crude but tough. The new Rubicon is full of plastic and cheap parts but the drive train is rock solid and that"s why i like it so much. You got to be a outdoors type person to own a Jeep and be prepared to replace almost everything with the aftermarket to make it your own special ride. Also you will get stared at by other people while you drive it and other Jeep owners will notice every new part you put on it so be friends and talk upgrades and where to go off roading..yes, you got to take your Jeep off the highway to experiance it"s real call. Strengths: Strong resell value. Will take you anywhere and in any weather. Rubicon model has dana44 front axle, 4 to 1 transfer case,locking front and rear axles. Tons and tons of upgraded aftermarket parts. Tops come off very easy..Three pieces. Weaknesses: Expensive for what you get. resell value makes up for it. When parts break, replace it with stronger aftermarket parts. Gas mileage is fair. average 19 mpg if kelp under 60 mph. I do.

	STOP CRYIN!!!

	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Tempe, AZ)
	Vehicle: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Sorry all you cry babies who should be drivin subaru's. A "jeep thing" is for real men who understand what that means. Remember what the jeep was designed to do? No jeep in history has ever been quiet or comfy AND good offroad. The new jk is as close as jeep needs to come to both worlds. I have been an avid off roader for the last 25 years and this vehicle is my favorite! I can bring my whole family and all our gear for the day! It is incredible where it will go offroad stock! My guess is most of these bad reviews are from people who consider a gravel driveway, offroad. Please refrain from staining an american icon with your ignorant lack of experience. Jeep makes an awsome vehicle. Please stop complaining, just understand what its purpose is. Strengths: Unsurpassed offroad capabilities. Stock this one will scare an experienced offroader. Weaknesses: Accessories are too expensive! Lets make a deal folks. Dont want to give more money to China!!

	Wish I had never bought this vehicle
	Date: Dec 31, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Colorado)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Bought a 2008 four door and have had nothing but trouble with it. The drivers seat has the handle to raise and lower the height setting it never stays where I set it, constantly having to reset it. I've had it in threet imes and it still isn't fixed, they can't even tell me if it operates on air , tooth and gear or fluid. Next probem the drivers side top sticks up about a 1/2 an inch higher than it should, making the nosie level high. the seal between the roof and windshield melted and they had to replace it now the noise level is so bad I have to turn down the radio so I can hear the wife talking. It's still not fixed supossedly the parts are on order it's been two months. Strengths: I like the looks of the vehicle and the room and the way it handles the snow and off road. Bought it because they sell and service in mexico where I plan on retiring so I would have acar I can service there Weaknesses: Lousy customer service from the dealership one of them actually told me "it's a jeep thing get used to it." WTF does that mean jeep is s&$% and can't be fixed. Time to but a Toyota Landcruiser

	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Texas)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Ive owned my jeep jk x for a year now and its been a constant pain trying to figure out the front vibration. I have replaced the stabalyzer and i have rotated and balanced my tires multiple times. I have been replacing stock parts with after market parts trying to fix the problem. I like going off roading on the jeep but when I hit the hwy and I hit a bump it vibrates bad. The driver side door seal leaks water inside to the carpet. Dont buy a soft top they are loud, I had to buy an audio system to combat the sound. I have always wanted a jeep and I have driven Hummers around the globe so when i got out of the service I bought my Jeep. Bad mistake now I am paying piece by peace just trying to fix the front suspension. The engine does not have much power I replaced the air intake system with an after market one it helped out a little bit. The front bumper is plastic and so is the rear one so dont try to push a gate open with it, I found out the hard way. Strengths: Looks nice from the outside. it has good driving lights, works well of road. Weaknesses: leaks water in through the front door seals. it wobbles when u hit bumps at high speeds. doesn't have enough power. watch your self when you buy this vehicle it will be a project trying to fix it, and an expensive one too.

	Death Wobble
	Date: Dec 03, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Culpepr, Va)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I began to have the wobble at 36000 miles after I had the tires rotated. I was told that it was the belt in the tires and had to pay 650 to fix it. I told the Jeep dealer I didnt think it was the tires and had another tire place rotate , balance and change the so called badf tire out with the spare. Since that I was able to drive an additional 15000 more miles with out the wobble during this time I had tires rotated 2x andnow at 60.000 the wobble is back. I called Crysler( no help) they said they would trimburse me ( we all know how that will go). Instead I have ordered an upgrade to the steering damper for 140 dollars because after taking ir back for the second time they said it would cost 250 to do it at jeep. No help anywhere, as usuall the car industry sold it but wont back there product. I have since talked to 2 other people having the same problem, called NHTSA and reported , called attorney general as well as Goodyear. I feel we have to all speak up because Crysler is stealing once again from good people. I will never buy another product made by Crysler. Horrible experience from the beginning Strengths: Its supposedly a JEEP Weaknesses: just about everything poor design crappy parts

	Jeep JK Death Wobble
	Date: Oct 25, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Parkersburg, WV)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Love my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X, not a power house but has always got me to where I have needed to go. Have had a few minimal problems, but easily corrected. Strengths: Goes great in the snow even in 2WD. Plenty of room for the wife and 2 kids. Has been an all around good vehicle. Weaknesses: Had Death Wobble on my 07 JK around 12000 miles, purchased new steering stabilizer but it just masked the real problem. Found out alot of cases of this is caused by the front lower trac bar bolt becoming loose. Check for play in the trac bar by having someone turn the stearing wheel and watch for play. Torque bolts to 125-130 ft pounds. The factory steering stabilizer did suck though!! Also the door hinges is made of an alloy which oxidizes and makes the paint on them bubble. Expect to get zero help from the dealer on most issues unless your jeep is out of warrantee and they can make money. IMO when you have to replace a part, go with a good aftermarket upgrade instead of a cheaply made overpriced factory part, and install the part yourself.

	Date: Sep 14, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Lawrence, KS)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I've owned my JK-U Sahara since October 2006. I've got over 50k miles on it and it's seen a lot of moderate to difficult trails. This Jeep has gone everywhere I have pointed it and out wheeled some seriously built TJ's (I do have 34" tires, 2" lift and other "stuff"). I love this vehicle and have no regrets. Strengths: Parts galore!!! Jeep's have always been the best vehicle for making it your own. You have endless options for making this Jeep do whatever you want it too. Weaknesses: The 3.8 V6 auto is very underpowered, but it gets the job done. The torque is perfect for the trail. Poor paint on the door hinges, but it is covered under warranty.

	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Bought a 2008 Jk wrangler unlimited X, have about 25,000 miles on it right now. Problems roof is noisy as hell, took it to the dealer to fix reply from "dealer it's a jeep thing get used to it." Next problem the lever that raises and lower the height of the drivers seat. I would move it to it so the seat was at the higest level three days later itwould sink to the lowest position and would have to move it back up four trips to the dealer later two new handles and a new seat and it still sinks. Horribly under powered I'm seriously thinking about selling and buying a Landcrusier. Strengths: none that I can think of Weaknesses: Poor service from Chrysler the excuse it's a jeep thing so what they're telling me is that jeep is a piece of junk and nothing can be repaired

	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: My 2008 jk unlimited sahara is awesome. I know many people on here, and on other review cites, give the unlimited JK a crapy review because of "death wabble" and other problems that can be fixed. I have never had a problem with "death wobble", knock on wood, and I have been known to drive at 85 during serious moments and not a single problem. The only problems I have had are the ones I cause. I recommend a JK unlimited to everybody that asks. Strengths: strong 4x4 system outstanding traction system smooth steering great ride smooth steering in 4x4 high Weaknesses: gearing issues slight power issues (if you have a lead foot) doors are heavy when taking them off

	Awesome Jeep - Would Buy Another
	Date: Jul 16, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Burlington, North Carolina)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Always wanted a Wrangler and when the 4 door hit I bought one of the first models available. Actually searched dealer inventory and bought one of the three black 6 speeds found east of the Mississippi in 2007. Drive it routinely at 85 mph on the interstate with no issues. Have 50,000 miles on it and went on a 1,900 mile trip last week with three passengers and averaged 19.2 mpg. Awesome for a vehicle designed like a brick. I have a stock Sahara and it is still a brute offroad. Has been over huge rocks and through door deep mud bogs without fail. Every Jeep owner needs to leave the mall traffic behind and contact Jeep Jamboree USA to really learn what these things are capable of. Strengths: Offroad, on road, great cargo capacity. Love the interior at night. Strong road presence. Weaknesses: Like every Jeep before it the top still leaks and makes too much noise. Should not be a surprise this one does too.

	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Nova Scotia, Canada.)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I'm new to the Jeep world. I've always wanted one since I first set eyes on a CJ when I was ten (I'm 50 now!). After that I've never wanted any other 4x4...if it wasn't a Jeep, I wasn't interested. In '07 the wife agreed to let me buy a Patriot. Now, I know it's not a REAL Jeep...but I finally had something with the Jeep logo on the hood! For three winters it took me places and kept me safe like no other vehicle I ever owned! Then....four months ago...I had a chance to purchase a '07 X-Unlimited at a ridiculous price! It was (and is) in pristine condition (no rust, no dings, no scratches)...only one owner...never off-roaded...kept in a garage....older couple with one dog and no kids...40,000 Klicks on it!! I am in LOVE! After I bought it I encountered ONE problem....the hardtop and doors leaked like crazy in the rain...and on the passenger (wife's) side! When I took it in, I was informed that the seals have been redesigned since '07 and installation of new ones would solve the problem. It did! It's now tight and dry! I'm a free-lance photographer and this little beauty has taken me down trails and roads in conditions that just leaves me shaking my head in wonder. I'll never drive anything else again. Now for a lift kit...bigger wheels...winch...bull bars.... Strengths: Looks badass AND classy! Drives great on and off road. Comfortable. Unstoppable. Weaknesses: Leaky original roof/door seals...easy fix. Nothing else I can think of!

	Lousy car and after sales service
	Date: May 12, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Singapore)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I bought a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in the 2nd half of 2009. It's barely a year old, but i've sent it in for all sorts of repairs. First, the starter motor blew, resulting in the engine dying and smoke bellowing out of the car in the middle of a traffic junction. Then there was a malfunction in some oxygen sensor. Not long after, the car suffered from a loss of power. Just recently, the sensors for the ABS brakes failed, resulting in the car having no ABS to speak of. All the parts had to be replaced but not immediately because they had to be flown in from the US, so repairs could only be effected no less than a week later. Now, I have no more faith in this car as i don't know what's going to fail next. I was obviously sold a defective product, but the dealer refuses to acknowledge that. And why don't they stock up spare parts? Either it's because every other jeep on the road has the same problem, or it's just uncommon and i've got the darn luck of having that one defective car! Strengths: looks good Weaknesses: everything else.

	Violent shaking when hitting a bump
	Date: Apr 08, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (White Plains, NY)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I had wanted a jeep wrangler for the last 15 years but always purchased the conservative safe jeep sport or jeep commander or jeep laredo. That is until last august 2009 when I purchased a beautiful black wrangler 4 dr XL. it drove great, I fell in love with it, that is until the last month and a half of March 2010/April. as soon as it hit a bump it shook violently, at one point i was going over the Tappan Zee bridge and almost lost control of it. I thought it was the road and the tire got caught in the road construction groove. But it happen several more times and even on just local roads. I mentioned to my husband who when he drove my jeep, almost lost control because of the violent shaking. We took it to the dealer and it was the steering damper. The did replace it but I am wondering if I should pay extra and have a stronger damper installed. The drive has not been the same it still has this loose shaking, as if the violent shaking caused something else to become loose. Now I drive slower and even though i still love the jeep, the incident has taken the fun out of driving the jeep. The experience was and is terribly frightful! Strengths: always a "hot' vehicle Weaknesses: stronger damper should be installed from the beginning. Don't overlook safety due to costs of better damper. i would gladly pay extra to avoid the incidents.

The dealership I purchased it from had their dealership franchise closed down by chrysler. So I have to take it to another dealership. They told me is was because of the weather and I would have to buy another bumper. I told them a bumper should last for more than a year. They told me tough luck. I called Chrysler and they told me there was nothing they could do, it was up to the dealer. I will never buy a chrysler product again. Strengths: Piece of Junk Weaknesses: They whole car

	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Key West, FL)
	Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: Ok everybody, for all the vibration, it is the steering dampner, take you jeep to the dealership, it takes them 10 minutes to change it out, they should do it for free and they should have better steering dampner to put on. Thats what i did at 3 thousand miles. Tell them to f off if they tell you it is fine change it now. For the people with the four door jeep when they first came out, what do you exspect, jeep has always done 2 door, when they made it bigger, that just messes everything else up, never by the new model of a car for atleast for a year or two after it comes out so they can fix all the problems. Jeeps are not supposed to be 4 door. hopefully this helps out. peace Strengths: great jeep, ride is excellent, plenty of room and i am a big guy. Weaknesses: stearing dampner. thats it, its cheap and easy to fix and it should be free.

Going 65 hit a bump it started jumping and would not stop till I went to a complete stop(which is hard to do in chicago traffic. Had steering damper replaced and two days later it did it again other then applying the brake and slowing down this time it stopped jumping without having to pull over. Talked to dealer and he thought I should have a more heavy duty steering damper put in. I don't think so its still under warranty. Strengths: Love the looks of it. Weaknesses: Steering damper

	'07 4 door w/ less than 20K miles
	Date: Dec 21, 2009
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Denver, CO)
	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I just traded in my 2 door '02 Sahara for this Unlimited X 4 door. My wife keeps popping out kids so I needed a larger vehicle and I have always been a Wrangler man. That being said, I have the Death Wobble action whenever I hit a bump doing above 55 mph. I took it in (it is still under factory warranty) and they immediately said that it is the steering dampner. What threw me is how fast they diagnosed it. They told me it was rode worthy and sent me on my way. I go in on Wednesday (day after tomorrow) for it to be replaced. Other than the above, I love the room of the 4 door, I love the smoothness of the ride vs. the 2 door, the 6 speed took a bit getting use to, but I do like that feature too. I ski a lot, so I now have plenty of room for taking guests up with me and I look forward to our next snow storm to try out the 4 wheel low. Strengths: Room (lots of it!), it's a Wrangler, 6 speed, picks-up a lot better than the 2 door, very comfortable interior, quite Weaknesses: The Death Wobble (not entirely sure why w/ less than 20K miles on it)

	Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I was having the same stuttering problems as others, every time I hit a bump the steering wheel would shake and vibrate violently. I called the dealership and took it right in, they immediately knew that the problem was the steering damper. They said that the vehicle was not road worthy but still wanted to send me home with it but to "drive slowly" after they informed me this can happen so severely that you can lose control of the vehicle. I persuaded them to give me a loaner, which thankfully they did. I also had a strange experience with the horn beeping. Both key fobs were in my possession at the time so i know no one was playing a prank on me. We opened the hood and check for loose connections, but all was ok. The beeping was random, not like the alarm was going off.. it stopped as suddenly as it started.. any ideas? Strengths: FUN!FUN!FUN! Weaknesses: only two years old and having mechanical issues..... :(

	Vibration and stuttering
	Date: Nov 04, 2009
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Lebanon, PA)
	Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
	Summary: I purchased my 09 unlimited in mid July. Just over 4,000 miles i started to experience a stuttering, idiling, not really sure what to call it when I am at a red light or just stop with the jeep running. This happens throughout the entire driving time from the moment I start it to the moment I turn it off. I also have an annoying vibration, it almost feels like I am going over rumble strips, while I am driving. I can feel it through the steering wheel and the floor. My blower fan went out the same week these problems started and the check engine light came on 2 times the first week I bought it. The dealership has done nothing the last 4 times I have had it in there for these problems and say that everything is fine. I took it to my own mechanic who drove it for an entire week and he felt everything that I feel and says there is definitely something wrong with it. The dealership told me it was bad gas the first time I had it in, the following three times they either said they could no duplicate what I was describing or they felt it and it was fine. I cant even stand to drive it anymore!!!!!!!!Anyone else had any similar issues with this model?? Strengths: its a jeep!!! Weaknesses: Problems that I am having right now. You dont buy a jeep for a "luxury vehicle" but its not supposed to be a dump truck either!

The second time the trans went out, they completely replaced it. The vehicles thrown two P0300 codes with the dealership not finding anything concrete. Two days after the 2nd code, the pressure plate went out, so out came the tranny again. While in the dealership for this episode, they discovered the left rear axle seal leaking quite a bit so it got fixed. A week or two later, it went back to the dealer for oil running down the front of the engine. It was discovered that the intake manifold was leaking so they had to repair it. The vehicle has yet to see 26K miles on it and is my wifes (who is not a 4 wheeler by any means). This is our 4th jeep and the only one that's been a lemon. We still have our 92 cherokee which has 177K on it and still on its original clutch. When the warranty runs out on this new one, its definitely trade in time on something, anything but another Chrysler product. Just wondering if anyone out there has had as much of an experience with this new style of jeep as my wife and I've had? (or would like to buy this one?) Strengths: So far, the radio still works and the spare tire is holding air. Weaknesses: I'd have to say the engine, transmission, electrical system and rear differential have all had their moments. Thank goodness none of these are critical components for making the vehicle actually run......
