ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
ON FEBRUARY 4, 2004 I TOOK MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER TO BOB MAYBERRY CHRYSLER DODGE, JEEP, INC. IT WAS VERY NOISY AND MORE GASOLINE THAN USUAL. THEY SAID THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS BROKEN AND THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 61,935. THE WARRANTY FOR THAT YEAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS 36 MONTHS I WAS TOLD. THIS REPAIR WAS NEARLY $700.00 AND IS SOMETHNG THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD GO WRONG ON ANY OTHER CAR I EVER HAD. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT THE COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND REFUSED TO RECALL THE POORLY DESIGNED AND POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU FORCE THEM TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND RETURN ALL OR PART OF MY SERVICE BILL. MY VIN IS 1J4FY9S7XP414936. WHEN I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS JUST TOO BAD, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER RESULTS IN CHRONIC WATER ACCUMULATION IN VEHICLE (FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER FLOOR, REAR DRIVER & PASSENGER FLOOR, AND TAILGATE FLOOR). THIS BEGAN THE VERY FIRST TIME I DROVE THROUGH WATER WITH THE VEHICLE. THAT WAS OVER 2 YEARS AGO. SINCE THEN, THIS PROBLEM HAS PLAGUED MY VEHICLE ... OCCURING AT LEAST 3 MAJOR TIMES SINCE THEN. AS A RESULT, I'VE HAD DAMAGE TO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BE ON THE FLOOR AT THE TIME (BOOKS, CLOTHES, SHOES, WALLET, PURSE). NOT TO MENTION THE SMELL!*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I HAVE REPLACED THE EXHUAST MANIFOLD TWICE BECAUSE IT HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE Y CONNECTOR AT THE PIPE.NOW I WILL GO WITH A BORLLA EXHUAST UNIT TO SEE IF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT CAN BE CORRECTED. WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR MOUNTS THAT ARE TOO WEEK AND ALLOWS THE MOTOR TO LIFT TOO FAR AND STRESS THE PIPE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I LOVE MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY TILL NOW. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW CARS OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EITHER ONE HAVE HEARD OF AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD GOING BAD. WHEN HAVING THE MANIFOLD REPLACED WE WERE TOLD IT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED AND IS DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE REPLACED. IT HAD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, MAINLY AT THE WELDS. I FILL SINCE I NEVER TAKE IT OFF ROAD THAT THIS SHOULD NOT OF HAPPEN. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS VERY COSTLY. I FILL SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM I SHOULD BE REVERSED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *JB

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:WRECKER AND WHEEL LIFT DEVICES, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
I PURCHASE THIS 2000 JEEP WRANGLER FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND PAID THE COVERAGE WARRANTY DURING THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THERE WAS A WEILDING UNDERNEATH THE AXLE AND TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, IT WON'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. FOUR MONTHS LATER THE AXLE BROKE ON A FREEWAY FOR NO REASON. WE TOLD THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T EVEN HELP US WITH THE PROBLEM AND QUOTING US 1,000 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED FROM A JEEP WRANGLER DEARLERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALREADY THERE WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE SELLING IT TO US. THE WARRENTY WE PURCHASED DID NOT COVER THE DAMAGE BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER WARRENTY. SO,THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NEED TO TOW IT TO A PROFESSIONAL BODY LIFTING SHOP. WE TOWED IT THERE AND IT COST US 500.00 TO FIX THE DAMAGE THAT WAS ALREADY THERE IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.
