I did a search and either I'm hopeless at searching or the question is not up yet.

I have a 2021 V6 JTR with 30,000 miles and have not had it off road. Over the five years there have been some minor hiccups along the way, chronologically:

1. The instrument cluster partially failed around 14,000 miles (warranty repaired).
2. I had the rear window leak (fixed it mydamnself)
3. Corrosion - 3 doors, hood and tailgate replaced (warranty repaired)
4. I got the diff sensor fail (light blinking, sensor full of fluid, warranty repaired.
5. Prior to getting item 4 fixed, the Service Transmission light came on twice (unresolved, went away, no codes were captured)
When I took it in for item 4, I told the dealer about it, he scanned for codes and said he couldn't replicate the issue and said it was tied to the diff lock sensor - but the diff lock light had been on and off intermittently over the course of several months without the ST light coming on. I have the Jeep back and have not had the light come back on...but I don't drive it much.

A couple of questions,
1. is it a load of bull what he said about the ST light being related to the diff sensor light coming on?
2. have they rectified the cause of the corrosion issue? I believe they used mismatched metals during construction for at least those first few years.
3. Have they solved the infamous Pentastar tick?
4. Did they fix the rear window leak (easy fix if they haven't, I know).

I appreciate any thoughts on this.
