All vehicles will have recalls like crazy... it's not gonna be anything new... so many people out to sue that they try their best to fix what they can... I have a 2012 overland and had some solenoid go out in the tranny... All was taken care of and that's all I can ask... no other issues and 40k on the clock now with lots of towing the MJ...
Today's cars are too complicated with all their electronics to even be diagnosed by the people who built them. I'm thinking you can't buy a new car today without all that "garbage" stuff. If you can't drive without your GPS or internet connection, stay home!
I'm 69 years old and biased, but I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about buying a restored 60's car and just driving it and repairing it until I can't anymore and then turning in my liscence! Maybe I should build a 60 mph enclosed wheelchair.
My 2000 WJ is probably my last newer car anyway!
Sorry to rant!

Oh ya forgot about my radio... something keeps erasing the second storage settings for seats and radio but I don't even know what stores that info... I just use the wife's settings when I drive it... not even sure it's still still a problem lol... out of warranty now anyways...
I've had my 2014 Jeep GC Limited, HEMI for one month or so. I only drive it occasionally, it is a second vehicle. Today I started it and the climate control came on AUTO, even though I left it OFF when I last used it. Other times the AC has come on, another time the climate control shut off before I was done driving.
Also today, all the buttons on the front and back of the steering wheel (except for cruise control) stopped working. I shut the engine off and re-started and it didn't work. I reset the radio (I think. I guessed and held the Volume and Tune buttons and it seemed to recycle power to the screen) but that didn't work either. Later on, after being home for awhile I went and re-check it and the buttons seemed to work.
Although I'm leasing it, I put a bunch of money down to lower my payment and was hoping to buy it at the end of the lease. I hope that wasn't a mistake. Going to take a ride to the dealer tomorrow.

In any event, goodbye you piece of crap GC!
