34k miles on ours, and approx. 8k miles of it towing. Running strong, absolutely no issues. Did crack the windshield finally at around 30k miles while towing down to FL.

18 JLUR
19,800 miles.
Has had 315/70/17s on it since 900 miles.

The only drivetrain related issue I have had is that I have just developed a small pinhole type exhaust leak just behind the driver's seat. It is small enough I haven't gotten it to the dealer yet.

General issues not related to the 2.0 drivetrain-
Passenger seat noise that many have
Carplay issues (random location on navigation on restarts sometime which pairs with music/podcasts not starting)


Overall extremely pleased with the Jeep. The only thing I could see trading for would be a Gladiator as I could use the truck bed and extra towing capacity but not so much that I could see eating the depreciation.

I only have one issue. There is evidence of under paint corrosion spots on the doors around some of the hinge plates. Others have reported the same issue and I'd advise all JK owners to closely inspect theirs for it. I didn't realize I had the issue until I read a thread about it on this forum. It is suspected galvanic corrosion caused by faulty coating on the hinge plate fasteners or hinge plates. Other than that, it's been the most enjoyable Wrangler I've ever owned.

I had the passenger seat noise, I found a good dealer that actually took it apart and replaced the entire seat bottom, and now zero noise, and as far as uconnect, I just reset the fuse, and That usually does the trick, I also just attribute it to being like a typical smart phone that gets buggy from time to time... Other than that I can’t deny how awesome it is to drive...

2018 JLU
2018 with 43k miles now. Motor has been going strong. Only oil/filter changes, and air filter change so far. Did notice a touch of opacy to the exhaust on start up last week. If anything with the pressure the turbo is pushing we will be getting some oil blow by earlier than a non turbo motor. That was at the end of the oils life cycle right before the oil change. Have noticed the oil thinning and smelling a bit like fuel so it is not a surprise. That may end up plugging the cooling core on the intake, and who knows what the long term effects will be on the turbo.

Sounds like we need catch cans then.

2018 JLUR
Picked up my 2018 JLUR in Aug of 19. Around 12,000 miles now.
Upgrades:
Receiver hitch (pirate from my old JK)
DV8 front stubby bumper
Smittybuilt 9500 lbs winch
DV8 rear bumper delete
Custom overhead console
Custom security storage system
RC 2 1/2" spacer lift
Dynomax muffler delete
Mopar 7 wire trailer harness
Various bling/swag add-ons

Only warranty issue was driver's side sun visor
Notables:
New (JL series) Bestop factory soft top is incredible. Strong, quiet, easy to use. 2.0 and auto are just the best at everything. Period. Factory U-Connect radio/boat anchor is predictably shitty and unreliable. As soon as the free SXM expires, I'll put a Seicane in it.

27k miles, passenger door power door lock actuator no longer works, 5 inch radio restarts itself if I connect my phone to their USB ports, rattle after each bump from left side of vehicle, can't tell if it's above or below my head.
