Just as it says, if you have not had a problem with ur jeep please chime in. I'm not talking about someone with 1k miles on theirs either.


I have had my 07 since feb. Received it with 30k miles, and now turning 38k. I have already had a check engine light come on. This is something that I'm not used to. Over the past several years I have had Mercedes (2) and not once have I had a problem with them.

Thanks in advance

I have a knock in my front end which is kinda annoying but never had a CEL besides my 02 sensors which I just turned off. (knockin on wood) Bought it with 30k now at 50k in 9 months. I drive pretty hard... all the time.

lol, I was typing with one hand and knocking on my desk with the other. To the OP, what were the CEL's that popped up?

Check engine light (CEL) can come on for silly reasons like a loose gas cap. Mine did, tightened poof no more light.

wrong gear ratio. Whatever that means. I have the factory size tires. If I heavily accelerate then it shuts down and light comes on. Limp mode? Well, I cleaned the contact strip in the gear selector box. That did not help at all.

On a side note something totally different. Every now and again I will be cruzing down the road and slowly accelerate and nothing will happen, let off the gas and then try again still no response. Try again and then the engine will respond finally.

08 with 15k miles; Supercharger on since 12k miles.
Not a problem with engine, electronic, or any upgrade.

...knock on wood

72K on mine...... I haven't had too many issues at all really. Alternator, a few batteries, water pump is about to be replaced, and that's about it. The first 2 were related to my stereo system. She's been more reliable than my 04 F-250 Diesel that's for sure!

2006 50k mi over the last 4+ years and nothing major that my dealer and the manufacturer haven't been able to successfully remedy in a timely fashion. Can't say that about my last vehicle, which was an RS6.

one problem everyone seems to have is break squeel....to me if army tanks & bull dozers break from time to time,then our rigs are sure to have its problems too.as well as any car or truck! nothing serious to report from my end.

:lol: My engine light came on today when I started it.

It is the cold start code, and I'm sure it is because my jeep has been sitting for nearly a month and has only been started once.
