POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I BELIEVE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING WRONG WITH IT FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS THATS WHY I BOUGHT A NEW ONE. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST TIME OF MY LIFE AND I CANNOT GET HELP WITHOUT SPENDING LOADS OF MONEY TO FIGHT THESE PEOPLE AND CHRYSLER. NO ,SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE PROBLEM IS WITH BOTH DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS. THEY DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY AND THEREFORE BECOME CAUGHT IN THE DOOR LATCH. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE NICKS AND ABRASIONS IN THE BELT. I HAD SPOKEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE BELTS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTEE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE BELT WILL FAIL IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT FOLLOWED UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER SINCE. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO INVESTIGATE AND, IF THIS IS A REAL DANGER, ENCOURAGE THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT. THANK YOU.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
ON 10/09/00, WHILE STARTING MY VEHICLE I HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT THE SERVICE STATION THAT HAS WORKED ON MY VEHICLE IN THE PAST. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON MY JEEP WAS MISSING SOME BOLTS. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO CONTACT A JEEP DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE HAD READ THAT THE BOLTS ON THE JEEP'S EXHAUST MANIFOLD BREAK. I THEN CALLED A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THEY ASKED ME HOW MANY MILES MY JEEP HAD ON IT AND WHEN I TOLD HIM 83,000 MILES, HE TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY COVER UNTIL 80,000 MILES. IF JEEP/CHRYSLER KNOW THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEPS, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE CONSUMER.*AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, SEATS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I FEEL WRANGLER ARE ADVERTISED AS RUGGED - BUT THEY ARE ANYTHING BUT RUGGED!! LOTS OF TROUBLE. CHRYSLER DID NOTHING TO HELP EXCEPT OFFER COSTLY REPAIRS (NEW SEAT FOR $1,200 THAT WAS CHEAPLY MADE, FIX DOOR LOCKS FOR $200 THAT KEPT BREAKING AND WINDOWS THAT WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN EASILY) THAT I FELT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AT MY EXPENSE. CHRYSLER'S ANSWERS WHEN I COMPLAINED WERE - I USED EXCESSIVE FORCE ALL THE TIME. THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE - FIRST TIME I RECLINDED IT. AFTER TEARING IT APART - IT WAS OBVIOUSLY MADE VERY CHEAPLY - ONE THIN METAL PART GOING UP THE BACK OF THE SEAT. HOW IS THAT GOING TO HOLD ANYONE IN CASE OF REAR IMPACT OR RECLINING THE SEAT WITHOUT BREAKING?? SAME WITH THE PLASTIC PARTS FOR THE WINDOW ROLLER (EASILY BREAKABLE) AND WHO DESIGNED THE STUPID PART (BAR AND PIN) FOR THE DOOR LOCKS. OH YEAH, AND MY ENGINED DIED ONCE - $200 IN NEW WIRING AND TOE BILLS. THEY TOLD ME I MUST HAVE BEEN OFFROAD RUFFING IT - EXCESSIVE FORCE AGAIN. I NEVER TOOK THE JEEP OFFROAD EVER - BUT OF COURSE THEY WOULD NOT BELIEVE ME. ALSO, I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD 3 TIMES NOW. MY MAIN POINT IS CHRYSLER FAILED ME - SOLD ME A VERY CHEAPLY MADE VEHICLE AND DID NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CHEAP PRODUCT. I FELL I AM THE BEST OR WORSE ADVERTISER FOR THIS VEHICLE THEY HAVE AND I MAKE SURE TO FULLY EXPLAIN ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY WRANGLER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
WARPED ROTORS CAUSED BRAKING AND STEERING DIFFICULTIES. ONE ROTOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND THE OTHER ONE NEEDS TO BE TURNED. THIS PROBLEM IS LISTED ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AS DISC BRAKE ROTOR PULSATION. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SO BADLY DURING BRAKING IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. DEALER STATES ROTORS WORE OUT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THE BRAKES PADS HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THEM AND DO NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. WARRENTY ON BRAKES WAS ONLY GOOD TO 12K.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP MY JEEP FROM THE DEALER IT HAS MADE A LOUD GRINDING/GROWLING NOISE WHEN IT IS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUCH OUT. IT SOUND LIKE IT WOULD BE THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING TO THE TRANNY. AT FIRST WHEN THE DEALER HEARD IT THEY SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD BEARING TO THEM, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT FURTHER THEY SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT POPPING OUT OF GEAR AND HARD TO SHIFT, WHICH I HAVE NOT EXPERIANCED YET BUT DUE TO THE NOISE I SUSPECT THAT IS NOT FAR AWAY.
