You've got to want it.

It's a good thing there are so many aftermarket parts available for the jeep, because as designed your going to need them. The doors leak, the headlights are anemic and I just replaced the engine at 150k. That said, it's the only thing out there that the top comes off but you really have to want it. If you're not taking the top off, there are much better designed vehicles to choose from. Overall I like my jeep but I can't recommend anyone buying one unless they are committed to dealing with it's foibles. What I can recommend if you get one, is to find a trustworthy local mechanic because almost without exception the dealership service centers have been terrible. Negotiate a lower price without a warranty as trying to get any work done with it is an uphill battle.

Transmission

Transmission went out at 70,000 miles. Dodge said they on back order. Could we say possible recall well I hope so.

Call of Duty is a pain in the &$$

Bought at 107k miles and been a pain every since. Replaced axle seals, pcv valve, intake and valve cover gaskets, knock sensors, fuel rail, camshaft positioning sensor, oil sending unit with wiring harness, transmission cooler and transmission...all within 7k miles. Front axle still doesn't lock and touch screen on stereo doesn't work...what do you think?

It’s a Jeep

I have always wanted a Jeep finally had a chance to get one. I was a little disappointed with the power it had. Overall I knew it might be a little different than what I’m use to driving. Driving when it is a little windy is different for sure. Rides really rough because it has a 2” lift kit. Storage is very small in the back really sucks to take shopping.

Expected more

I am baffled at the amount of repairs this Jeep has needed in it's Eight year life. Both heads, oil cooler, both front wheel bearings, two stuck brake calipers, water pump, radiator cap, & gas cap to name a few.. We are vary particular about maintenance and have done all services at or before when they are due and have still had more problems than I think is reasonable.

2012 Wrangled Saraha

This is my third Jeep Wrangler, so it's obvious I love them. This 2012 Wrangler is definitely the best of the three! Smoother ride, much better engine than its predecessor-3.8 ltr!! Only bad thing for me is there are way too many modifications that can be made to a Wrangler, so I spend alot of money modifying! It's all really good, cause I love what myJeep looks like with custom paint inside & out! And love the power modifications I've done.

Jeep man

Love our Jeep fun times 4 wheeling , picnic, and tale gating , these vehicles are so interchangeable with off road parts. Vehicle pulls a boat or a camper just fine , no problems , interior is nice but needs more insulation options to hold heat inside cab

Only in a Jeep!!!

I own a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. By far, the best jeep I have ever owned. Plenty of power, looks great, and takes the worry out of season to season weather/road conditions. Around town, thanks to the size, I can drive in and out of parking lots, restaurants, and easily maneuver through busy traffic. At any time, I am a simple shift into 4 wheel drive to handle difficult weather and, if needed, only a shift away from 4 wheel drive low... for off road use. All of this in one package!!!

Welcome to the Jeep family.

It's a Jeep... What more do you need to know? Driving a Jeep is more like joining a family than just buying a car. My jeep is comfortable, easy to drive, looks great, and is ready to go... rain or shine. The 4wheel drive adds such a level of comfort, independence, and security, that it doesn't matter whether it's Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter. Plenty of power, excellent ride, incredible heater,/air conditioner, great stereo, auto start, lots of options... can you tell that I am a Jeep fan?

Only in a Jeep!!!

I have owned Jeeps for the last 35 years and wouldn't own anything else. My Jeep Wrangler is an incredible vehicle that meets and exceeds all of my needs. Easy to drive, solid, safe, capable on any terrain and in any weather. It's a blast to drive in and around town or out in the country. It is simply a great vehicle!!!!!
