ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
EXHAUST MANIFOLD - REAR STUD ON DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BROKEN OFF LEADING TO AN EXHAUST LEAK. CAUSES NOISE AND EXCESS O2 IN EXHAUST SYSTEM SIGNAL COMPUTER TO INCREASE FUEL RICHNESS WHICH TAXES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, CAUSING EARLY FAILURE. CATALYTIC CONVETER HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AS RESULT. DOOR LOCKS - THE DOOR LOCKS ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE HAVE BROKEN, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK DOOR FROM OUTSIDE WITH KEY. BY TURNING KEY, THE LOCK BEGINS TO DISENGAGE, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO UNLOCK DOOR. THIS CREATES NEED TO LEAVE WINDOWS DOWN CONTINUOUSLY IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO VEHICLE BY OPENING DOOR FROM INSIDE THROUGH WINDOW. MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
BOTH FRONT DISCS ARE BADLY PITTED AND RUSTED. FOR A NEWER VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE, THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM AT THIS POINT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF JEEP CHEROKEES MANUFACTURED BEFORE 1995,SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WRANGLERS HAD A SIMILAR RECALL THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
ACCORDING TO THIS SITE, THE 1994 JEEP WRANGLER HAD A RECALL OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. BEGINNING 31JAN96, I TOOK MY JEEP TO SHELBY MOTORS APROX 7 TIMES BECAUSE OF "RATTLING NOISE" WITH THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THEM "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. NOW THERE IS NO LONGER A WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE, SHELBY MOTORS DECLARES THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER ABSOLVING THEMSELVES OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I APPEALED TO THEIR SENSE OF PROFESSIONALISM AND LOYALTY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, BUT FOUND THEIR INTEREST DOESN'T LIE IN THE CUSTOMER'S LOYALTY TO THEM BUT RATHER IN THEIR MONEY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION OR SHELBY MOTORS OF ANY RECALL. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED GIVEN I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS FOR 4 YEARS.

DURING ROUTINE ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION, BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE FOUND TO BE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE OUTSIDE EDGE WAS THINNING TO THE POINT OF FAILURE.

THE ROTORS WERE WORN TO THE POINT THAT THEY COULD NOT BE MACHINED AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT AT THE TIME OF NEXT STATE INSPECTION 9/9/99. REPAIRS WERE QUOTED AT 300.00 FOR REPLACEMENT AND LABOR OF THE TWO ROTORS. *MJS
