STRUCTURE:BODY
I MADE THE DEALER AWARE THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN COMING THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF MY JEEP. THE SAID IT MAY BECOMING THROUGH THE PLUGS WHICH COME OUT TO RINSE THE INTERIOR. BUT WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THEIR RESPONSE TO ME WAS "IT'S A JEEP...JEEPS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET WET." I'M PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR THEIR TOP MODEL WRANGLER AND I DON'T WANT IT LEAKING THROUGH THE PLUGS WHEN IT RAIN. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. BUT TOLD ME THAT THE JEEP COULD HANDLE IT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
REAR BRAKES EXTREMELY WEAK/ NON EXISTANT IN 2WD MODE. NOTICE THE PROBLEM MOST WHEN BACKING DOWN HILL IN 2WD AND BRAKES APPLIED - VEHICLE WILL SLIDE ALOT EVEN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. IN 4WD THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS FINE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ABS AND WE TRIED DISABLING IT (AT THE DEALERS - A DEALER TECH PULLED RELAY) AND PROBLEM STILL THERE. I JACKED UP REAR OF CAR & IN DRIVE AT IDLE SPEED THE REAR TIRES WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WITH FULL BRAKES APPLIED. THE PARKING BRAKE WORKS FINE & MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP WHEN BACKING DOWN A HILL, OTHERWISE VEHICLE MUST BE IN 4WD FOR BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. HAS BEEN IN SHOP TWICE, THEY REPLACED PROPORTING VALVE ON LAST TRIP BUT THIS DID NOT HELP. THE FIRST TIME THEY FRIED MY ONBOARD COMPUTER & HAD THE JEEP IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH. THIS HAS DONE IT SINCE DAY ONE. THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
EXHAUST HEADER DEVELOPED A CRACK EXTENDING MORE THAN 80% OF THE DIAMETER OF THE PIPE. CRACK OCCURRED ADJACENT TO THE WELD WHICH HOLDS THE CONNECTION FLANGE TO THE EXHAUST HEADER. THIS PIECE HAS SINCE BEEN REDESIGNED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE THE MILES ON THE CAR (A LITTLE OVER 42,000) EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY (BY 6,000), IT IS MY RESPONSIBLITY FOR THE COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR. IF JEEP HAS REDESIGNED THE PART TO KEEP THE PIPE FROM BREAKING SHOULDN'T THEY RE-IMBURSE OR FIX THOSE THAT HAD THE ORIGINAL DESIGN FLAW?*AK
