"Good resale value"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The main electrical module failed.

The hood bracket worked loose, causing paint chaffing on the inside of the fender wall.

The drivers side window makes noise.

Door does not close properly on drivers side.

Water channels into the seating area when you open any of the front doors.

General comments?

This is a good daily driver.

Gets good fuel mileage.

Needs more power, lacks get up and go.

It sounds like Chrysler is still having electrical issues in the Wrangler, which also plagued some TJ Wranglers.

I also believe that by replacing the great 4.0 liter in-line six with the 3.8 liter V6, Chrysler made a huge mistake.

Although the JK Wrangler is a more comfortable ride, I am one who believes that Chrysler should not have strayed so far from the Wrangler's AMC roots. After having owned a new Chrysler designed TJ Wrangler - I went back to a trusty AMC designed YJ model.

Because everyone that knows anything knows that YJ's are so much better than TJ's... wait...

I just happen to prefer the AMC designed YJ Wrangler.

I've owned both, and in my opinion Chrysler did not "improve" the Wrangler, they made it more palatable for the masses, but less reliable and less, well ... "Jeep-like".
