Tough Decisions...Need your suggestions

Problem(s):
Constant reoccurring rear axle failure.
Steering wandering or swerving.
Electrical Issues
Transmission clanking

FCA fails to recognize the problems and tries to sway from being responsible.

I'm a Jeep owner for many years and would hate to not drive a Jeep.

My options that I'm considering:
Trade my lemon Jeep Sport for a Rubicon JL 2DR.
-or-
Replace front and rear axle with Rubi axles
Rebuild my front end from aftermarket options.

I originally purchased my Sport JL with as minimum extras as possible.
My idea was to keep it simple and light.
I'm not a fan of all the leather and Rubicon gadgets. You can keep the big screens, actually want to eliminate mine in my Sport. My Apple iPhone does all the same and more compact.

I originally thought that with the savings of buying a JL Sport versus a capable Rubicon that I could install better axles, tires, lift, etc. and have a far more capable vehicle than a Rubicon off the showroom floor.

Any other options or considerations that might work is appreciated. I welcome your experience and recommendations.

Perhaps the dealer you purchased from will work with you to not lose your ass on a trade in. Doing the axle swaps may end up costing as much as you'd lose on the trade so may be worth it to just go that route.

Also if you truly have a lemon you can go through the arbitration process but from my experience they seem to be in FCA's pocket as when I went that route I had a clear cut and dry case and the arbitrators sided with FCA. I ultimately traded that vehicle in for my JL.

I would go the lemon route. Research your states lemon law and begin arbitration.
