Power Door Lock on drivers door works every time, the rest are intermittent, sometimes unlock, sometimes lock, have to manually check them.

Manual Door Lock on drivers door doesn't work (tab just flops back and forth, no resistance) so it is a good thing the power lock is reliable on that door

Right channel speakers don't work, front or back. Left rear works all of the time. Left front works sometimes, intermittent wiring issue, closing of door can change state of speaker.

Wires for door sensor on drivers door have a short, one day XJ started smoking so pulled off trim and found the culprit of some wet wires with a short. Unplugged the wires so interior lamps don't come on when door opens. I prefer it this way actually.

Latch on rear hatch will sometimes not work. Usually after I've been wheeling and gone up sharp inclines. Spare tire pushes against interior of door and seizes the latch. I've found that putting pressure against the outside of the door above the latch helps alleviate the issue.

Day I bought it, rolled down the windows, drivers side rear passenger window wouldn't roll back up. Took of door panel and ran the motor with direct 12v to close the window. Since then, window works fine.

E-Brake handle button snapped off. I can still work the handle but takes two hands if I want it to lock. I pull the rod just like the springed button was supposed to do while pulling the handle up and it functions normally.

Overall not a big deal. My car that is 14 years older has more gadgets in it and more of them still work, but it has had a much easier life then the Jeep. For a vehicle that has wheeled all over Colorado and now gone through 3 Texas parks, she is running great.
