Each door has a leak. Every time it rains water enters the jeep. I don't know if the seals are defective but all four doors seals need to be replaced.
When I get on the highway and drive over 60 MPH the hood will flutter massively like it's going to fly up and slam into my windshield. I've heard that the matches are giving out from the factories and have heard lots of stories of them breaking.
Door hinges are rusting from underneath the paint. "at the start of the 2007 model year, jeep started using aluminum hinges that carry a secret; a flaw in the way that the aluminum is anodized causes oxidation under the paint, even with the absence of air and water.what you essentially have is a vehicle with hinges that are subpar." http://www.kentrolinc.com/blog/post/2015/11/24/chemical-flaw-brings-out-the-worst-in-factory-hinges.aspx
Paint blisters on door hinges
The freedom roof leaks allowing several inches of water to build up on the floor next to the accelerator and brake pedals for the last 3 years I have returned from vacation after the vehicle sat outside with several inches on the drivers side floor near the pedals
The leather is ripping and deteriorating the leather may be bad quality
