Cherokee Issue Game Whats Your Score?
Cherokee Common Issue Thread
Thought of this idea and figured it would be sorta cool to see how many commonly known issues you have or have had. Feel free to suggest new items to add to the list. This is the list that I could come up with. Not the thread to ask what they mean. All of these issues have plenty of results if you just search lol.
Rules:
-All items are worth 1 point
-If you have had the issue or currently have the issue.
-Don't ask questions about these issues. They are common and there are many threads on each of these.
So who has the most plagued Cherokee out there?

In need or needed a SYE
Rust-Anywhere
Rear main seal-Leak
Valve cover gasket-Leak
Oil Filter adapter O-Ring-leak
Hatch struts-Don't hold

Doors sag-
DEATH WOBBLE-
Head crack 0331-
Over heating-Any of the million reasons
NSS switch

Wet floor boards- Windshield seal broken from flexed uni-body
Head light switch short
Power window and lock issues

7. But 5 are previous problems. 1 is for rust and another 1 for electric locks/window issues. Not bad for something as old as me.
