So there now that these jeeps are getting older it’s not uncommon to see 100-125k or more. Are they still reliable if they have been maintained or is this the breaking point and time to dump them?

Who got the highest amount of miles and how have the repair bills been?

I'm closing in on 97k miles.

3 issues so far
1. Lifters went at 73k. Replaced under the powertrain warranty. Truck still ran fine, but had a louder ticking noise next to walls.
2. Code P0456 small evap leak at 92k miles. Fixed
3. Carbon Fiber panels. Going to be fixed under warranty.

Other than that, just basic maintenance. 2x rotors and 4x brake pads.

Have you owned the car it’s whole life? How much have the rotors and brakes cost you if you don’t mind sharing.

Not it's entire life, but I knew the previous owner/had all the maintenance records. It's been a daily driver it's entire life. Mostly highway miles.

Rotors I got from the dealership at cost, need to find the receipt but for the pads I went to Hawk ceramics and it cut down the brake dust a lot.

Hey guys, I have around 78k on my 14. Only problem I had so far was the water pump going around 50k. Not sure if I was going to keep it longer or trade it in if the problems were bad.

98k on my 2014.

Spun Bearing at 72k
after that here is what was replaced and installed:

Replaced engine with new block and forged pistons/rods
New crank
Hellcat cam
Procharger D1SC
War Viking Transmission
Transfer case replaced twice (once under warranty)
Fuel pump
Fuel tank
Fuel sending lines
A/C compressor
Thermostat
Water pump (under warranty)
Spark plugs
Drive belt
Tensionser pulley (blew apart)
Power steering motor
In-dash radio system (under warranty)

Replacing currently:
Water pump (again)
Radiator
Radiator upper and lower hoses

I don't think I'll ever buy another Jeep again. I love the car and love the power; but I'm in one of those relationships where I'm being abused and I keep coming back for more.

When it's not in the shop it's fast af.

I got 102,xxx on mine. Ive had to replace the water pump, radiator, thermostat and gas cap bc it kept throwing some code causing the check engine light to come on. I bought it with around 25,000 miles. Also had to replace the brake pads but its been a good ride. Really have enjoyed it and still enjoying it.

Nah as long as you don't ride the hell out of the vehicle then you should be fine. I got a lifetime powertrain on my through the dealership that i bought mine from so as long as i doing regular maintenance like oil changes and shit I only have to pay a $250 deductible on any thing.

FYI DEALER is full of shit. There is no way on the SRT to mix coolant and trans fluid together. There is no trans cooler in the radiator. the Transcooler is built into the A/C condenser.

Dealer was just cash grabbing

Well actually sorry I was typing fast and on phone! Lemme clear that up!

So i agree w ya there but from the trans cooler there is a line or line’s that run to and through the Trans and recirculate back through the cooler and those Line or Line’s Rotted out and broke in the trans.. and left antifreeze in to mix w trans fluid!

Dealer are Complete Douscheelik’s amd i Faaacking Hate em All!!

Also dealer Deny’d all day long for week’s that it was Antifreeze and Swore on his (i’ll be nice) Mom that it was water!
Master ass Tranny tech Hadn’t a Damn Clue! It was the Srt Team Chic that Discovered that this has happenned Quite Often and She informed the tech amd my Sa who were both like Uhhhhhhhh Again Dickzzxxx

yeah there is 100% no possible way for the trans to get coolant in it. they are completely segregated systems on a MY12 Like there is no Possible way.

· #19 · Nov 5, 2019

Hmmm thats funny and weird , well i got a tranny goodwill outta the deal so i happy happy! She the Srt team Lady called me very excited and was like coolant lines that run through the trans broke and cross contaminated. I did the research and had most of the team help me and found that quite a few have happened recently!
I was like great , thats amazzing news !
it was Xmas Day i drive home from work at 2 like hard 80-110 bangin gears all was fine , hard shifts , dwn shifts all was lovely pulled garage showered and came back dwn by 3 and i din’t even make it to the gates out of my community! 93% Slipppage!

What fixed the p0456 code?
