POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION MAKES A RATTLING NOISE AT IDLE & WHEN ENGAGING CLUTCH IN 1ST GEAR. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET IN AND OUT OF GEAR, SOMTIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOUR SHIFTING WITH OUT A CLUTCH. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SINCE THE JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW IN JULY 2000. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE THEY REPLACED CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. 2 DAYS LATER IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. ITS GOING BACK TO SERVICE APRIL 10TH. IVE READ THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE JEEPS. I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY NEW CAR CAN HAVE ITS PROBLEMS, BUT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO SOLVE THEM AND FIX THEM!!! I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE MY "NEW CAR" TO SERVICE EVERY MONTH TO GET A TRANSMISSION OR CLUTCH PUT IN IT. IF I WAS GOING TO DO THAT I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A USED ONE FOR ABOUT HALF THE PRICE!!!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
ENGINE STARTED TO SOUND LOUDER THAN NORMAL WHEN STARTING UP FROM A COLD START. NOTICED ENGINE WAS COVERED IN OIL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE MANIFOLD EXHAUST BOLT HAD FAILED AND THAT CAUSED MY PROBLEM. HAD IT REPAIRED FOR $300.00. THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" FROM A JEEP WEBSITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
THROUGH RESEARCH IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT A BAD PAINT JOB CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO FALL OUT OF ITS FRAME. CHRYSLER RECENTLY PAINTED MY CAR UNDER WARRANTY BUT DID A HORRIBLE JOB. THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE SUGGESTED REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO THIS ORGANIZATION: HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/IVOQ/OSCRIPTS/IVOQ/VOQ/VOQ6.CFM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT CHRYSLER LEFT BOTH THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR ON MY CAR DAMAGED.
