    Hello one and all..
    I have a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, and have had several warranty issues.. At around 70K miles the rear differential went out, then the starter, now (at 106K miles) the head gasket has blown.. Has anyone else had this many troubles with their Jeeps?

    The vehicle has been in the dealership for two weeks and they haven't even started to tear it apart to fix it.. I purchased the lifetime warranty on it so it should be covered, just curious if mine is a fluke or the new standard..

    Thanks for your time.
    Beckie.

    Welcome @PyroBeckie ...too bad about the problems you're experiencing with the JKU. My '16 has 25K and it hasn't been back to the dealer despite all notices for minor recall this or that. Hopefully the "lifetime" warranty covers your head gasket issue. Was routine axle fluid service maintenance performed ?

    @aggrex Yes. I am a stickler for maintenance. I have everything done according to the dealership recommended schedule. I also wouldn't just let my jeep 'tell me' when it needed service like the manual tells you, instead opting to bring it in every 5k miles. The shop guys told me that the Jeep will ask for service every 6K or so, but again, I would rather take care of her so nothing goes bad.. Not that that plan actually worked out for me...

    two weeks and no work done?

    the warranty was a jeep extended warranty?
    Not an aftermarket third party policy?

    If jeep warranty, contact the 800 # in owners manual, jeep corporate will hopefully assist you -
    Also start searching for an attorney* -the search and initial contact should be free.

    *a legal practice dealing with vehicle warranty issues is not uncommon, should be able to find one near you.
