2005 JEEP WRANGLER X MODEL HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON 20 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE AS A NEW VEHICLE. ALSO, OVERWHELMING SMELL COMPARABLE TO BUTANE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE DURING LONGER DRIVES AND ACCELERATING. JEEP WAS SERVICED 14MAR05, LIGHT IS OFF BUT SMELL STILL PERSISTS.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 2003 JEEP WRANGLER IS GETTING WATER IN IT FROM JUST DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THE DEALER FIXED THE WORN RING AND PINION AND BEARINGS FROM THE WATER DAMAGE BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE MAIN PROBLEM, WHICH IS THE WATER GETTING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME BEARING PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING. DAIMLERCHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AGAIN BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS CUSTOMER ABUSE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT DRIVE THE JEEP ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT CUSTOMER ABUSE. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL FIND ANY EXCUSE NOT TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. *AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
I HAVE A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP I NOTICED AIR COMING IN THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW. WHILE DRIVING THE BACK WINDOW ON THE HARDTOP WILL POP OPEN, ENOUGH TO LET AIR, WATER, AND OTHER DEBRIS INTO THE VEHICLE. THE WINDOW WILL OPEN UNTIL IT TOUCHES THE SPARE TIRE, THEREFORE PROHIBITING THE USE OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER. MY CONCERN IS EXHAUST ENTERING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND HARMING OCCUPANTS. I HAVE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIME THROUGHOUT THIS PAST YEAR (TO ENCOUNTER RUDE AND UNKNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE MEN) ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND IT CANT BE FIXED. THIS PAST WEEK THE SAID THEY FIXED IT, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, TIRES:TREAD/BELT, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES WITH MY VEHICLE NOW. THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING HEATER PROBLEMS ON HIGHEST AND SECOND HIGHEST SPEEDS. TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID DEDUCTABLE ON THE SERVICE CONTRACT IN OCTOBER 2002. DEALER REPLACED THE UNDER DASH HARNESS, BLOWER MOTOR AND THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. I CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC THAT DISCOVERED THAT THE HEATER CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILLED AS WELL. HE REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL MODULE AND JEEP WORKED FINE FOR 1 YEAR. THE HEATER BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN AND MY PERSONAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR, BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THE HEATER CONTROL UNIT AS WELL AS REPLACING A BURNT WIRE. THE HEATER AGAIN LASTED JUST OVER A YEAR BEFORE ACTUALLY CATCHING FIRE UNDER THE DASH. THE ENTIRE UNDER DASH HARNESS, BLOWER MOTOR, BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND HEATER CONTROL UNIT WERE AGAIN REPLACED. NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITHIN THE PAST WEEK AFTER RECEIVING THE JEEP FROM THE SHOP.*AK
