Just over 18K with a 3.6 needed just a set of battery's so far. Mine is a 18 JLUS drove it out in November of 18. Forgot to mention passenger seat was making noise had that repaired early on. It needed a new set of bottom rails, common problem with the JLU.

23,000 miles now on the 2019 Sahara. Just spent 5 days at 9,000 ft and higher in Northern Colorado on the trails surrounding Hahn's Peak (north of Steamboat Springs). Flawless performance. Even had a hiker comment that we looked like a Jeep commercial coming out of the woods. 3 guys and our gear with room to spare, too. Yeah, we had a great time!

So far, I've towed with two different trailers and no issues. 3 rail motorcycle trailer fully loaded and a 5 x 8, also fully loaded. It's a daily driver and comfortable, too. Added the aftermarket dead peddle which made driving distance more comfortable. The 2.0 pulls well!

The 2.0 matches up with the 8 speed in all transfer case ranges. High altitude driving (on and off road) was a snap. The 8 speed seemed happy in 2nd gear, low range (Command Trac) so I left it in auto rather than manual. Always seemed to be in the sweet spot of the power band no matter what we threw at the Jeep. Highway travel was solid too. Never a problem passing!

Just turned 8K miles on my '18 Sport. Left my house at 5:30 Saturday morning and drove 160 miles to PA to do some trails at Rausch Creek. We then spent about 5 hours riding the trails in 4Low, up and down steep hills, through some mud and decent puddles, and had an absolute blast. We left around 3 PM, and got back a little before 6 PM. All in, the computer said we were averaging 23 mpg for the day. That's freakin' amazing IMO. I love this little Jeep more every day!

Jan. 19, 2018 build so very early.

-multiple 6qt oil changes. One I didn't notice for 5k miles
-Weird metallic clicking when turning. Was eventually figured out to be improperly torqued ball joints
-Rear glass replaced as rear window defroster wire popped off
-V41 steering damper recall
-Parts on order for the 08-074-20 steering TSB. My steering isn't too bad but definitely a 2" dead spot

Otherwise mostly trouble free miles and it's been great.

Drove from California to Texas, over 1600 miles in 2 days and I like it even more now. Drove fantastic as I passed the 10,000 mile mark, trouble free. Bought Jan 2019 and have loved it everyday since.
My passenger seat does squeak when someone sits in it, otherwise no issues.

Picked up my Rubicon July 2019, no problems what so ever, however my wife keeps asking if I'm done buying jeep parts.

February 2019 build with 17,000 miles. Zero issues to report. 5’ is occasionally laggy but has always worked.

EDIT: Sorry, answered through the "recent posts" area. Thought it was a general discussions thread.

At 19k miles the 12v battery crapped out on me so far. No issues with ESS so far though. I got the battery swapped and all is good.

My 2019 now has air leaks around the windshield which causing a whistling sound on the freeway. I used masking tape on the sides of the windshield and the whistling noises went away. Good thing I'm still under bumper to bumper
