I really like the looks of the Jeep and really, wanted to tow one, but I read the reviews like you did and decided against taking the risk. Maybe the Jeep only has a 10% failure rate while the Honda CRV or something else might have a 5% failure rate. I'm not surprised so many folks have had no problems with their Jeeps because like most cars today, they are pretty reliable.
But nobody can make that decision for you. You've got to decide if the small risks are worth it.
I ended up towing two very different vehicles, a Scion XB and I currently tow a 4x4 Ford F-150. The Ford is a very comfortable vehicle with plenty of room in the King Cab and I have taken it on very bad dirt roads and mountains. In fact, I originally bought it for my farm and the wet clay on the unpaved roads is a serious challenge for most other vehicles.
If a Jeep is better than my Ford F-150, then it must be an amazing vehicle because I couldn't hope for any better handling and cargo carrying on unpaved roads.
