I would be curious. Of those that have no issues what are your build dates?

6K miles with no problems seems like a really low bar. I know every make/model has some builds that have some hiccups, but I would expect the vast majority of any model of any maker to have zero problems at 6,000 miles.

8,400 miles on my JLUR. I was doing really great until my clutch pedal recently started squeaking/creaking with every shift. Appointment with dealer on Monday. Other than that, love my JL!

I agree 6000 miles is a very low bar. I figured a lot of JLs have 6000 miles, enough for some or most problems to show up. 12,000 miles would be more in line but I don't think many JLs have that much time on the road yet.

I have 7100 miles. Thought the steering was loose when new, settled in nicely now that the tire pressure is lower. I have auto with select track and LSD.

I have 6500 miles on my JLUR and not one problem. I’ve had it since February 28 and I love it more each day. I had a JK and all I did was modifications but all I’ve done to my JLUR is put 2 cube and 1 16” inch led light bar on the front steel fender. Oh yeah I took the ends off the front bumper to make it a stubby.

I'm glad a couple of you have said this. Personally, I don't expect to have any problems in the first FEW YEARS of buying a brand new vehicle. The last three vehicles I've owned (a Honda, a Nissan, a Chevy), had zero issues in the first few years, and the Chevy was bought used. The car before that (a VW Passat, used) had issues right away and was a nightmare, but that's it.

I hope it’s that easy but I’d like them to take a look given how fast I put mileage on. If something needs to be replaced I’m thinking I’ll have an easier time getting it done under warranty now vs when I cross 12k miles or more.
