One year of Jeep Wrangler to be cautious about is the 2012 model, particularly early production models, due to issues with the Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine. Some had problems with cylinder head failure, leading to misfires and costly repairs. Additionally, early 2012 models faced transmission and electrical glitches.
That said, Jeep addressed many of these issues later in the production run, and well-maintained 2012 Wranglers can still be reliable. If you’re considering one, have it inspected thoroughly, especially for engine and transmission performance. Every model year has its quirks, but knowing what to look for can help you avoid a headache!
