I was wondering...Mine is an 05 - 3.7l - 42rle - bought new 7/05 with 7,800 miles.. so far so good but it's still new yet. Any one out there with high mileage? So with normal routine maintenance, ( oil changes etc. )how is it doing? Some one's gotta be over the 100,000 mark since they've been out since 02.....

How many miles on your KJ?

How has it held up?

05, bought in september, now has 6137 miles on it. Window belts slipped twice, has to go for the third on the drivers side, trans needs something done to it, but overall, very pleased with the purchase. Has only had one oil change so far, dealer sticker says 7600 for the next oil change, and the tires will be rotated this weekend.

Its nice, I am thinking about getting a CRD for myself now that we have one, but the wife didn't want the deisel, so she got the 3.7.

21077 miles. Purchased September '04 Holding up great, not even a tailgate rattle!

My sister's '05 has 9k, purchased in... September '05. At the rate she's going, she's going to pass me with mileage. It's just a matter of time.

EDIT: Oops, listed too many miles. Hehe

Feb 04' with 55K. My first 1.5yrs were expressway mileage (nearly 50K). Since changing jobs I live 7 miles from home and drive city streets.

No issues (crossing fingers) and everything has held up great. Even after the beatings I've put on it!

I've got an 05 Renegade (I call her Libby....lol.), black, 6 speed manual, D package. Ordered her about a year ago, got her 4/29/05. Haven't had any issues so far (knock on wood!), switched her to synthetic last oil change and she as of today has 12,350 miles on her. I love my KJ! =)

2005 KJ bought in Beginning of May.

20.000 Miles now

lots of minor problems ](*,)
need to modify my "problems"
(Hope my English is not too bad to be understood)

1) lost of a fastener from the 4Lo "box" and the lever in the car.
2) change of the complete hand brake system (never work at the beginning)
3) four times stuck on the Highway with "motor problem" light on and no more torque and power.
4) noise on the bar stab (known problem)
5) erratic remote entry system
6) motor noises unsolve
7) tremor of the cars at high speed.
7) "propeller" front of the motor seems to be "cut".

just frustrated with this but it's a great car
I'm going again to repaire the Jeep and going to write a letter to Jeep France about all that.

'04 Renny 4X4 with 43,500. Never had a problem with ANYTHING. Normal maintenance, including changing the oil every 6,000 miles. I wonder what maintenance is due on her now..... #-o

I bought my '02 limited in June of '03, and it already had 37k on it. Since then its seen both coasts(I live in Nebraska) and right now she's got just short of 103k.

I've been nothing but happy with my liberty. No problems at all, just kept up with the scheduled maintenence. Other than that, it came with the CD changer and I've added the RB1 and Sirius. Definitely worth it.
