Curious. How many repairs has your 2012 Overland required? Under warranty and after?
I absolutely loved my Black 2012 Overland with saddle color leather interior. However, the vehicle required roughly $20K in repairs in the 6 years I owned it. Thank God I bought the 100K extended warranty. I would love to buy another but don't want to get back into another money pit.
1.) replaced air suspension
2.) replaced factory radio due to failed touch screen
3.) replaced 2 alternators. I had no aftermarket stereo installed in this vehicle, everything was stock.
4.) replaced PCM (power control module)
5.) replaced 2 year old battery
6.) replaced front rack and pinion
7.) replaced catalytic converters
8.) replaced 2 stage oil pump.
9.) replaced 3 cracked 20" wheels
10.) replaced the top of my dash board due to the leather separating from the plastic (adhesive failure)
11.) replaced cam shaft sensors

Mine is "kinda" rare as it's in the one model year only color of Artic Chill Blue with the 'Tan' but to me it's almost khaki interior. I'm a big diy guy from Audio to rebuilding motors and home improvement, etc. So I was waiting for the warranty to expire so I could start making mods.
Working 12 on and 12 off most of my driving is in the dark so I've added some extra lighting (Black Oak LED spot beam light bar on front bumper) that's relayed off the backside of the TIPM - just to give you an idea of the level of comfort I have working on a vehicle.
Air suspension still working - had an o-ring failure at the front right elbow which i replaced and it's been fine since then... HOWEVER the OME Air Suspension Replacement Kit with 2.5" Lift and adjustable UCAs is waiting in my shop to be installed if I ever get around to it...
Stock Overland 20s have 275/55r20 Michelin LTX M/S on them and a second set of Trailhawk 18s with 265/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for off roading and camping. Using a Wilco Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier that goes in the trailer hitch for trips. No problem with either set of wheels.
Had the fuel pump relay recall that bypasses the TIPM done -but- have had to replace both the fuel pump and the auxiliary fuel sending unit post warranty. Bought aftermarket pump and installed myself which was a pita since you have to drop the driveshaft and exhaust in order to drop the fuel tank.
Replaced a bunch of sensors under warranty and then post warranty installed a billet catch can in the PCV return and haven't had any more sensor failures. Better gas mileage, improved idle and off idle response. No more valve noise and increased oil change interval.
Still on the stock alternator and original agm battery under the passenger seat. Have had auxiliary XS Power agm battery in spare tire well with ~2kwatt in amplifiers for about the last 18 months.
Exhaust was replaced with Stainless Works as soon as warranty expired. No more
as we don't have inspection or emissions.
The dash board debacle was ludicrous. Had it replaced during the recall and then had Air Blue 80 Tint put on the windshield, bought a custom fit windshield cover, using Leather Milk conditioners and it's been perfect ever sense. They sent a new recall offering to replace it again but there's no way I'd let them touch it again...
Replaced the HID headlights with SRT units after warranty cause one of the oem units fogged up badly. Upgraded the ballasts to Bosch units from the Euro Spec Jeep which run much cooler. The SRT projectors are so much better that I'd have done them just for the improved pattern if I'd known before hand.
Replaced the factory fog lights with Baja Designs LEDs and got rid of the dropouts with AlfaOBD (also leveled the suspension and made a host of other changes to the PCM.)
Had the water pump changed once under warranty and once again on my own. The one I paid for has upgraded bearings and extra gussets to the nose so hopefully it lasts a little longer but if not it's only a 45 minute job to change.
Bought mine in 14 when I saw what they'd done with the new model (e-shifter, big screen radio, integrated hvac, etc.) and new I wanted the 12 with a real Shift lever and standard double din HU.
I've heard the horror stories from the Jeep forums where others had your same experience and I think part of that is owners from the rust belt. Mine has only been in South Carolina and Florida where cars last 5x as long.
Knock on wood mine has not been any problem (other than the fuel pump and level sender which caused me to run out of gas twice) and I pray that it will continue to be that way for at least another 4 years cause I've got 2 in college right now!
Total outlay post warranty has been about 4 Grand but $1200 for exhaust, $1600 for OME Suspension, $650 for Headlights constitute most of that and that's half of what I spent on the 95 ZJ that I had the bright idea and lifted 6" trying to make it keep up with Rock Crawler TJs and simply made it worthless as a daily driver.

. But, I trust Harman more than other OEM suppliers. I know a few folks who work there. They care about quality of their products.
