[Plywood]

April 12 will be one year of ownership, I hit 37,700 miles today and have no issues. I hope it stays this way.

29k miles ... zero mechanical issues. I did experience the leaking rear window. Fixed that on my own with some polyurethane. On my second AUX battery ... last one only lasted 4 months. I'm considering chucking the AUX and bypassing directly to the primary battery.

How did you apply to fix that. I would prefer to fix mine myself also but not sure exactly where its coming from the rear window.

2020 launch edition. Bought it new in june 2019. 40,000 miles no real issues what so ever. Only factory recalls and Uconnect software issue but it’s not worth the money. No complaints what so ever.

I had an axle leak, fixed at about 13500. I'm at 19000 now. So far so good. 3.6/6 speed.

I just hit 7k miles on the drive this morning and don’t want to tempt fate. I had to get the GG windshield replaced last month though. It cracked seemingly on it’s own.

Fingers crossed that’s the only issue!

Do you have this saved in a word document?

Yes, everything documented.

Center console USB port fails with apple car play every 10 minutes.

I was encountering the same issue with my 8.4" uConnect in my Mojave. I'm using a iPhone SE (2nd Gen) updated to the latest iOS at the time, and found my issue was resolved after switching to the Apple OEM USB cable. I believe the "new" iPhones come with a USB-C cable on the other end, but you should be able to use the Media panel just the same.

Hope this helps solve one of the issues you've encountered.

I hope its just from the lightweight oil.

Maybe, love this thing but the tapping is going to bother me. I feel the engine should operate smoothly the way it is designed if that's the case.

Only problem is the wiring harness with bent pins twice. Did not have that problem with my JLU.

I have 8500 miles on mine so it's still basically new. I did put on 37's and a 4.5" lift at 6000 miles.

The only issue that I've had was the proximity key lock doesn't work about 30% of the time. It's a minor inconvenience but it's a rather annoying one when you expect it to work and it doesn't. I'll bring it up when I take my JT to go get the reprogram done regarding the DEF usage.

Took it to the dealership who checked it with water. Bumper to bumper warranty covers it, or your glass coverage could. Mine was a leaky glass issue above the rear slider.

He fixed his on his own with polyeurothane. I would prefer to fix mine myself also so thats why I asked. I was wondering what edges and how he applied the poly as I would like to try. I don't want to lose my decals and screw around with a rental for just the window.

I have a 2020 Rubicon with alittle over 13K miles. No issues thus far other than the driver door creaks when opening, will have dealer look at during next oil change. I have 35" tires and am getting around 14 MPG.

I pondered what to do for some time ... my reluctance to go through the dealer is that most appear to hand off the repairs to a third party ... and there are WAY too many horror stories.
