FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
I BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE APPROXMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK MY JEEP TO JIM COGDILL DODGE. THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE CAUS. AFTER TWO TRIPS THERE, THEY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALER. SINCE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT DELMAR HAYNES, I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE THERE FOUR TIMES NOW. THE FIRST VISIT, THEY MADE REPLACMENTS TO PARTS THAT COGDILL FELT WERE NOT NECESSARY FROM THERE INVESTIGATION EARLIER. I MADE THE SECOND TRIP. THEY LOOKED AT IT FOR OVER 2 HOURS AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION. I LEFT AND DECIDED TO RETURN BACK THE NEXT DAY. I ASKED THEM TO COLD START AND SEE IF THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM THAT I HAD BEEN DESCRIBING. THEY FOUND A FUEL INJECTOR BAD. THAT WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF 88.00, PLUS 60.00 FOR THE RENTAL CAR FOR TWO DAYS. THE PARTS HAD TO BE SHIPPED IN FROM ATLANTA. I DROVE THE JEEP AND SMELLED ODORS BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THAT WOULD OCCUR DUE TO THE MAINTAINCE THAT WAS PERFORMED. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS I BEGAN TO SMELL THE GASOLINE AGAIN. I PUT UP WITH IT FOR A WEEK, AND DECIDED THAT I DID NOT WANT MY VEHICLE TO CATCH ON FIRE AND CAUSE LOSS OF HOME AND POSSIBLY BODY LOSS AS WELL. I RETURNED MY JEEP TO DELMAR HAYNES ON 1-12-00. I ASKED THEM TO COLD START IT AGAIN AND SEE IF THEY COULD SEE THE TROUBLE. GUT FEELING ON MY PART WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS WOULD ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. BINGO!! I GOT THE CALLED EARLIER TODAY AND THAT TH THE NEED F REPAIR. AT A COST OF $88.00 PER, YOU CAN SEE THAT I HAVE PAID QUITE A BIT OF MONEY FOR THE REPAIR THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN PLACE ON THE EARLIER VISITS. I LIKE MY JEEP. IT IS PAID FOR AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO THE LARGE EXPENSE OF PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE ME IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE IN SAFE RUNNING CONDITION. DELMAR HAYNES HAS THE VEHICLE AT THE PRESENT TIME. I HAVE A LOANER TO DRIVE ANDWAS ASSURED THERE WOULD BE NO COST FOR LABOR OR THE CAR.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS, SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY JEEP'S DOORS ARE FALLING OFF IN THE FRONT AT THE HINGES. THE WELDS THAT HOLD THE HINGES TO THE FRAME ARE CRACKING. AS FOR THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM IT SOMETIMES CLUNKS WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP OR TURN A CORNER. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE STARTING PROBLEM IS NOT ALL THE TIME MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT SOMETIMES IT WON'T START. I TRY IT TWO OR THREE TIMES AND THEN IT STARTS. I HAVE HAD THE STARTER REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES IT. *AK
