The problems people some people are having are not specific to the Rubicon.

All cars break, all makes and models have buybacks. You only hear about the few that have issues on internet forums, not the tens if not hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers. All first year vehicles could have issues not found during the r/d process, as well as production supplier changes in later years causing the same thing. Don't worry about it, a few people have had problems and been able to get them resolved. It comes with a warranty...no worries.
Have you ever owned a Jeep product before?

I'm one of the "tens if not hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers".
My Rubi has been just great!

Understood but its the time and inconvenience
of taking the new Jeep to the dealership for service. I'd hate to keep going back and forth especially for a new vehicle.

There isn't a single mass produced vehicle that isn't astronomically priced that does not have lemons.

You're going to get a very poor snapshot of what's going on with Rubicon quality if you ask for responses from only those with problems. How about everyone with a Rubicon lets d4sswme know whether or not you've had any problems.
