- 2012 Wrangler Rubicon
Err, then you remember the rain of recalls and TSB's that happened shortly thereafter too. The 2007 wasn't a disaster, but it was pretty rough. For example, my friend with the 2007 always had problems with the electronic stability control kicking in all the time and his trackbar bracket ripped off of his axle due to poor weld quality. None of that happened on my 2012. Which, however, had the then-new Pentastar with *its* miriad problems, from a short-lived water pump to tappy valve lash adjusters due to mis-aligned bores to a bad driver's side cylinder head, and then there's the sand casting problem that a lot of people had with sand from the head castings clogging their heater cores...I think that the idea that there will be "bugs" with the new JLs is overblown. I had a 2007 Wrangler when they went to new body style.
Of course, all of that got fixed. But if you can wait for the 2020 models, you'll likely have a much more pleasant time of it.
