I love my 2014 Overland WK2, this is our second JGC, first one never gave us problem, this one has been in shop alot. Based on my current WK2 I would not buy one without the lifetime warranty as we keep our vehicles way past 10 years, our 2004 JGC has well over 200k miles and going strong and few unexpected repairs.
In August 2013 took possession of a 2014 model year Overland, V6 Pentastar, Quadra-trac II, Select terrain sys, Air suspension, Preferred Pack 23P, Advanced Tech Group, 20" wheels, 265/50R20 BSW tires. pretty loaded except for Hemi. Chrysler life-time warranty.
I keep good records so here is list of recalls, warranty items and repairs:
(We currently have 150k miles - roughly 30k miles a year)

With warranty or recall dealer gives me loaner and dealer is on my way to work so the inconvenience is minor. Let me say again the WK2 is amazing and I would buy again but think how long you plan to keep it and get factory warranty to match.
