The biggest problem for me is not that necessarily anything different to other cars is breaking, its just how expensive it is when it does, cos its normally attached to other stuff. eg the dust boot on the upper ball joint breaks - you needs to buy need upper control arms for $800 each. Bushes in lower control arms wear out and you need to buy lower control arms - you cant just buy the bushes. Our steering rack is also to be replaced (haven't even heard how much that will be yet). Drivers seat electrical stuff broken - need whole new seat base (once again, I hate to think how much that would be if not under warranty).
We drive ours reasonably hard - just got back from Cape York and about to head to Camerons corner - and have put 120000kms on it.
I suppose, having my other car as a TJ, I'm used to being able to replace the parts that are actually broken as opposed to everthing they could possibly be attached to.
Having said that, the car is great and I don't regret getting it for a moment.
