My 2006 WH CRD (with only 30,000kms - I know, gotta get out there more):
- Got the 'Service 4WD system' flashing light once - fixed per TSB
- ABS shudders braking uphill, usually when cresting a rise
- Fuel consumption as bad as 18.5l/100km in city cycle
- Gas struts for bonnet fail to hold bonnet up for more than a minute - ouch!
- Rear left suspension creak - fixed under warranty
- Seat memory for driver 1 cannot be reset, intermitent problem
- Mopar front tow hooks for WH will NOT FIT THE CRD model - the turbo oil radiator plumbing fouls the plate of the towhook. I bought the hooks in U.S. (same part number as Oz WH part), so cannot return them. If anyone has successfully got an angle grinder onto the baseplate of these hooks and fitted them around the turbo radiator plumbing - please let me know! (I'm about to try grinding them down - gotta have recovery points for any serious off road fun).
- Otherwise pleasantly surprised with the reliability and lack of problems, great car, just needs a lift and some bash plates
