quick list of things to watch on your 01...

Window regulators (all can and will go any where any time, they are proceeded by a poping sound and then the window drops)...

Axle dust cover boots (there are 8, four inner and four outer they tear and if not repaired lead to boku $$$ in repairs)...

Rear hatch latch (original OEm design is weak and they short once water creeps in) main symptom..rear hatch starts to pop on its own...

Cam sensors...(there are two of them the won't cause a check engine light, but will cause rought idle)...

in a four month span...I had every one of these things happen on an 01 with 50K...if you don't have a warranty...BUY ONE...use AAA or GE Financial....I sold my X after $4K in repairs and will be in a CPO next time. OTher wise...welcome...good luck and drive fast!
HAHA...My passenger's side front window regulator has been replaced, my drivers side front window pops and comes off track a lot...going to have that replaced soon, the telescoping steering wheel doesn't move forward and back, only moves up and down, my drivers side side mirror doesn't move left and right, just up and down, I've had the door lock actuators on two of the locks replaced, when it rains, the front passengers floor is SOAKED, my fuel gauge gets stuck saying I have a 1/4 tankful as I'm pulling away from the gas station...it resets itself after I travel about 60 miles, two of the pixel strips on the dash message board are burned out, I had major issues with one of the tail lights not wanting to work, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head! Oh yeah...did I mention I have no warranty?

The two things I miss about the Jeep...automatic door locks (when you hit 15 mph, the doors lock) and automatic headlights!

But all of those issues seem to disappear (in my mind at least) when I'm weaving in and out of traffic at 80mph+ and she's handling like a champ!
